Physics (Classe L-30)-Enrolled from 2012/2013 Academic Year

Admission requirements
Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
Applicants to the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics must hold an upper secondary-school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad.
Admission to the programme is open, subject to a mandatory, non-selective assessment test before enrolment. The test is aimed at ascertaining the candidate's educational background, in terms of knowledge and understanding of the basic scientific disciplines, especially mathematics and elementary logic. The test syllabus is available at:
https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/area-tematica-tolc-scienze/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/

Admission assessment
Candidates are usually assessed through the TOLC CISIA Online Test, to be taken at the University of Milan or any other universities belonging to the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems (CISIA). Students have to register for the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it).

Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if they are admitted to years subsequent to the first.
For further details, please see the call for applications

The TOLC tests providing access to the degree programme in Physics are TOLC-S and TOLC-I.
Students will be able to enrol only after taking one of these tests, WHATEVER THE RESULT:
- TOLC-S, divided into 4 sections: Basic mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Logic and problems (10 questions - 20 minutes), Reading comprehension (10 questions - 20 minutes), Basic science (chemistry, physics and geology - 10 questions - 20 minutes)
- TOLC-I, divided into 4 sections: Mathematics (20 questions - 50 minutes), Logic (10 questions - 20 minutes), Sciences (10 questions - 20 minutes), Verbal comprehension (10 questions - 20 minutes).
Each question has 5 answer options, of which only one is correct.
Score: +1 for a correct answer, -0.25 for a wrong answer, 0 for not given answers.

Each TOLC test includes an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. This section does not replace the for-credit English proficiency assessment required by the degree programme, but serves as a self-assessment tool for the student.

Other equivalent tests may be accepted on a case-by-case basis, with the prior approval of the Academic Board.

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
First-year students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the Mathematics module will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA) for this subject within the first year of the programme.
Remedial activities and tests: students with additional learning requirements will have to carry out remedial activities in the period October-December, and then pass a test to prove they have filled their gaps. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to take any second-year exams before passing the Mechanics exam (https://fisica.cdl.unimi.it/it/studiare/le-matricole).
