Enrolment
Admission to the Childhood neuro and psychomotricity programme requires a diploma from an Italian secondary-school or equivalent foreign diploma as defined under Ministerial Decree no. 509 of 3 November 1999, n. 509 as amended by Ministerial Decree no. 270/2004 "Rules regarding teaching independence at the universities".
The number of students admitted into the Childhood neuro and psychomotricity programme is capped nationally as required by Law no. 264/99 based on available instructors, teaching facilities, and other amenities used to provide clinical practice. The cap is also predicated on regional needs for the professional in question.
Candidates, at the pre-enrolment phase, must rank their Course Section preferences. Those preferences will be taken into account as part of the student's ranking following the admission test.
The admission test (there is one exam for all Healthcare Degree Programmes) is developed and approved on a yearly basis by the University in accordance with Art. 4 of Law no. 264/1999. The test will generally be held during the month of September. The date is set pursuant to a Degree of MIUR.
Additional learning requirements (OFA)
Students who answered less than 50% of the Biology and Chemistry questions on the admission test will be required to finish a set of additional learning requirements (OFA). These prerequisites may be met through specifically assigned remedial work. Any failure to pass the OFA will make it impossible for the student to sit exams in Biology and Biochemistry.
Timely notice of the various courses will be posted to: https://neuropsicomotricita.cdl.unimi.it/it
