NON-EU Pool candidates, on the other hand, are not required to take an Exam for this Degree Programme. Their admission will be based exclusively on the academic assessment conducted by our Faculty representatives prior to the enrolment phase.

EU Pool candidates are encouraged to check the information below to learn more about the Exam structure and contents.

• FIRST ROUND only for those candidates who applied by August 26
  • Written test: 5 September 2024 
  • Interview: 10 September 2024
     
• SECOND ROUND only for those candidates who applied after August 26

The evaluation of the written test follows the criteria indicated below:

• 1 point for each correct answer
• minus 0.25 point for each wrong answer
• no points for no answer

The rules of the Entrance Exam forbid the use of mobile phones, calculators, tablets, online-enabled devices and the consultation of printed books and/or manuscripts and notes.

Interview

The interview will be conducted by the appointed Faculty representatives and is meant to ascertain the candidate’s prior education and proficiency.

Upon completing the interview in question, the candidate will be given a score based on the overall performance, up to a total amount of 60 points.

Results

The combined score of both the written test (up to a maximum of 60 points) and the interview (up to a maximum of 60 points) will be calculated up to a total combined amount of 120 points.
The score in question will then determine the candidate’s placement in the ranking and thus the outcome of their admission. More specifically, the results will define whether the candidate:

• can be considered immediately eligible to move forward with the enrolment process; or
• is ranked lower than the top-performing candidates, thus needs to be placed in the waiting-list.

The rankings containing the final combined score obtained by each candidate will be published upon completion of each of the two Exam rounds, based on this timeline:

• Results of the FIRST ROUND – 16 September 2024
• Results of the SECOND ROUND – 14 October 2024
