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.
Test yourself by using the entrance examination simulations for bachelor’s and single cycle master’s degree programmes with limited enrolment, divided according to degree programme area:
- Medicine and Surgery and Dental Medicine
- Bachelor’s degree programmes in Health Professions
- Veterinary Medicine
- Law and Sciences of Legal Services
- Herbal Sciences and Technology
- Exercise, Sport and Health Sciences
Some degree programmes, both with open admission and limited enrolment, use the TOLC test run by CISIA, the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems, for their admission tests.
TOLC tests vary, depending which degree programme admission is being sought for, or where the test is assessing a candidate’s basic knowledge and abilities.

The PARI project platform allows students to practice for the admission test (general culture, disciplinary knowledge of Italian and history, reading comprehension and error identification tests). To access the simulation environment, users must first login following the instructions.
You can also prepare for the tests by looking at previous years’ MIUR exam papers.

In July, the University of Milan provides a free preparatory course for candidates wishing to sit admission exams in the area of Medicine. This course is open to all students in the fifth year of secondary school.
Information on how to enrol and the starting date for the course is normally published in June.
Registration is compulsory and places are limited.
The intensive online seminars aimed at preparing students in the topics that will be tested in the MIUR admission tests are free of charge and open to everyone.
Based on the answers to questions contained in previous years’ tests, the webinars deal with fundamental concepts of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics and logic.
The webinars are designed and delivered by teaching staff from the University of Milan and Milan Bicocca University and from the University of Brescia.
