To request an exemption from the exam (while still being required to pay the enrollment fee), students must submit a written request to the Student Administration Office at segrstudsegp@unica.it at least 48 hours before the exam registration deadline, as specified in the General Study Manifesto.

Following the documentary review of the academic record and the submitted declarations, applicants will receive a specific notification regarding their status.

Registration and Exam Participation

All students must register online for the personal preparation assessment and pay the corresponding registration fee, regardless of whether they might later be exempt from taking the test.

The verification of curricular requirements and/or the required knowledge and competencies, as well as the adequacy of personal preparation, is carried out by a designated Commission.

Exam results will be communicated based on the pre-matriculation number, which corresponds to the receipt number indicated at the bottom of the application form for the personal preparation assessment.

International Students

For visa-seeking international students applying through the UniversItaly portal (excluding Double Degree programs, which follow separate selection procedures as specified in their regulations), and who have not obtained their entry qualification in Italy, the Commission will evaluate their curricular requirements and personal preparation based on the submitted documentation. Specifically, the Commission will assess:

a) Bachelor’s Degree (or equivalent qualification):

Type of degree, title, and other defining characteristics of the qualification

Completion of the required ECTS credits for admission

Average grades obtained in individual courses

National or international ranking of the university that issued the degree

b) English language certification at B2 level

c) Overall academic background and other relevant qualifications, as indicated in the curriculum and any additional documents provided by the student

If the submitted documentation does not meet the required thresholds outlined in point (a), the student's level of personal preparation will be assessed through an interview, which may also be conducted remotely. This interview will take place by the end of July.
