Requirements and review notes
- EntranceAll students take a diagnostic assessment on the first teaching day. It serves as the final zero-course/OFA test and is not a selective admission exam.
- AlsoPrior qualification: Upper-secondary diploma or equivalent foreign qualification recognised under current rules; expected preparation covers basic algebra, geometry, trigonometry, logic, abstraction and empirical observation.
- AlsoThe regulation assigns mathematics OFA using Italian school-grade scales: below 80/100 overall or below 7/10 in mathematics. It does not define how a foreign school record is converted to those scales; no Indian-board threshold is inferred.

Upper-secondary diploma or equivalent foreign qualification recognised under current rules; expected preparation covers basic algebra, geometry, trigonometry, logic, abstraction and empirical observation. The course is Italian-taught and open access.
Selection and entry testSource checked · 2026/27
all enrolled students
All students take a diagnostic assessment on the first teaching day. It serves as the final zero-course/OFA test and is not a selective admission exam. Applicants below the source's school-grade thresholds receive OFA and must complete mathematics remediation.
Other entry requirementsSource checked · 2026/27
applicants whose prior school grade is evaluated on the stated Italian scales
The regulation assigns mathematics OFA using Italian school-grade scales: below 80/100 overall or below 7/10 in mathematics. It does not define how a foreign school record is converted to those scales; no Indian-board threshold is inferred. Foreign-title suitability and any grade mapping require the university's assessment.

2026/27 non-EU nonresident baseline: €150 annual contribution + €140 regional tax + €16 stamp = €306, before exemptions.

The €150 contribution falls in the up-to-€200 single-payment branch. The same current PDF gives 30 November 2026 in payment prose but 16 December 2026 in Table 3; confirm the generated portal due date. First-year fixed-charge enrolment deadlines follow the exact admission call. The €156 fixed charge is separate from the contribution payment. Genuine internal deadline inconsistency: amount is established, exact contribution due date is held.

Documented disability, specified government/university awards, protection status and other listed cases have conditions. Even total-fee-exempt students pay the €16 stamp. Benefit receipt and individual eligibility are not guaranteed by nationality.
