To enroll in the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Mathematics (academic year 2025/2026), no entrance selection test is required. However, a knowledge assessment test will be adoministered. The difference between these two types of tests is significant: the first, used in programs with limited enrollment, serves to select students for available spots; the second—applicable to our Mathematics programme—is designed to help incoming university students assess their initial level of preparation.
The knowledge assessment test for those intending to enroll in Mathematics consists of a test, which will take place a few days before or after the start of classes. The date and structure of the test will be announced before the summer break.
To get an idea of the fundamental mathematical topics useful both for passing the knowledge assessment test and for enrolling in the Mathematics programme in general, you can visit the following page. It contains videos and slides from various preparatory courses held in previous years (but still relevant) by Prof. Massimo Gobbino.
Students who do not take the test or do not achieve a passing score can still enroll in the Mathematics programme, but they will have an Additional Educational Obligation (OFA) to fulfill. The OFA is considered completed according to the rules available on the designated page.
For all the reasons mentioned above, it is highly important for students wishing to enroll in the Mathematics programme to take the initial knowledge assessment test.
