Admission Requirements

42+
To be admitted into the degree programme, a candidate must have a secondary-school diploma, or similar diploma earned overseas and deemed equivalent. Enrolment in the degree programme is subject to a cap, set annually in accordance with Art. 1, Law no. 264 (2 August 1999). The number of students who may be admitted into the first year of the programme is set each year pursuant to a decree of the Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR), based on findings provided by the university in terms of available instructional, classroom, and clinical resources (human and otherwise), as well as the demand for healthcare professionals in the practice of nursing as determined by the Region of Lombardy, and the Ministry of Health. Candidates, at the pre-enrolment phase, must rank their Course Section preferences (from 1-16). Those preferences will be taken into account as part of the student's ranking following the entrance exam. The entrance exam will be administered as a national exam, generally in the month of September. The confirmed date, and the method of administration, will be set forth in a MUR decree.
Additional learning requirements (OFA) Admission into the Programme will be determined pursuant to Art. 4 of Law no. 264/1999, which requires that candidates demonstrate sufficient acumen in those subject areas enumerated in a Ministerial Decree establishing both the content and the method of administration for all programmes subject to a national cap. Provisional admission will be offered if and when contemplated for those students completing a secondary-school diploma. A score at or above the minimum mark set in the call for applications in the admission test will suffice to show the student has the requisite baseline of knowledge for the programme. Students who score less than 50% on the Biology and Chemistry questions on the entrance exam will be required to finish a set of additional learning requirements (OFA). These prerequisites may be met through specifically assigned remedial work. Any failure to complete the OFA will make it impossible for the student to sit for the General Science exams.
