Preparing for admission tests
The simulation tests available online, as well as any courses and webinars organised by the Universities or by other bodies and organisations, can help prepare for degree programme admission tests.
A number of degree programmes use the TOLC tests run by CISIA, the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems, as entrance tests.
TOLC tests can be used for selection purposes (for limited-enrolment programmes) or simply to assess the applicant's prior knowledge (in the case of open-enrolment programmes).
There are several types of TOLC tests, depending on the subject area of the degree programme that the applicant wishes to attend.
Degree programmes:
Sustainable Agriculture

SECTION TO BE UPDATED
Some capped-enrolment undergraduate programmes of the University of Milan require applicants to pass an admission test created by the University itself. Test your knowledge with some simulations of these tests.
You can prepare for admission tests created by the Ministry of University and Research by consulting MUR exam papers of the previous years.
The links available here refer to the tests held in May 2024 for admission into the a. y. 2024/25, except for the link to the International Medical Admissions Test (IMAT), which refers to the IMAT 2022. For a better reading, all correct answers are indicated in letter A. You can also consult previous years' tests on the MUR website.
The student association PrePost "Davide Bortolotto" provides free courses for anyone who wants to prepare for the admission test for:
- Medicine and Surgery
- Dental Medicine
- Degree programmes in Health Professions
- International Medical School (IMS)
These courses are also useful for TOLC-VET tests.
Preparation courses for the Medicine and Surgery, Dental Medicine and IMS admission tests will take place on 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21 April 2024 in the teaching sector located in via Golgi.
Preparation courses for admission tests for the degree programmes in Health Professions will take place from 29 August to 1 September 2024 in the teaching sector located in via Golgi.
For more information, you can visit the association website or write to[email protected].
The University of Milan offers upper secondary schools a series of courses dedicated to active orientation in school-university transition. These courses are also known as PNRR pathways, as they are financed within the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (also known as PNRR). Courses are only open to third-year, fourth-year and fifth-year students, who must be registered through their home school.
Each pathway has a duration of 15 hours. A certificate of attendance will be issued to all students who take part in at least 70% of the activities offered within each pathway. Schools can recognise such activities as PCTO – Percorsi per le competenze trasversali e per l’orientamento (Pathways for Soft Skills and Orientation, corresponding to the work-based learning activities formerly known as Alternanza scuola-lavoro). Each student can participate in only one pathway throughout the three-year period.
Among the pathways proposed, there are some initiatives on preparation for admission tests:
- 20 and 22 March 2024: Let's prepare for the Medicine admission test
- 23 and 24 April 2024: Test preparation: Medicine, Health Professions and Psychology
- 16 and 17 May 2024: Test preparation: Medicine - No more places available. Next edition: July 2024
