Professionalizing degrees are new three-year university study programs aimed at a strong orientation towards the working environment and a direct operational applicability of the acquired skills.

In particular, the professionalizing degree program in Digital Systems in Agriculture is designed to train technical professionals who combine, on the one hand, general knowledge of agricultural systems, and on the other hand, advanced skills in configuring and interacting with integrated hardware and software systems within farm processes. This includes the extraction and management of data essential for optimizing production activities in agricultural, livestock, and small-scale processing contexts.

The educational path is characterized by a strong synergy between the university and companies in the Agriculture 4.0 sector, focusing on digital technologies for agricultural machinery and systems, as well as field and livestock ICT systems. With this approach, the course aims to develop specialized technologist with skills in digital systems. These skills, combined with technical knowledge specific to the agricultural domain, will enable graduates to operate supporting primary sector companies in the choice and use of hardware and software systems for agriculture.

In order to achieve a professional profile with the specified technical skills, the Digital Systems in Agriculture study program has the following educational objectives:

General but comprehensive knowledge of agricultural systems as a whole and the main issues related to the sustainability of productions; Basic knowledge in scientific disciplines related to the fundamental principles of production processes, the functioning of technologies used, and the economic-organizational aspects of activities; Understanding of configuration criteria and acquisition of high operational skills for the management of hardware and software technologies used in business processes; Acquisition of in-depth operational skills in the extraction, management, and processing of data useful for production activities; Development of the ability to interact effectively and professionally with those who analyze or plan production processes; Acquisition of adequate teamwork, communication, including in English, and self-updating skills, aimed at a rapid and effective integration into different work contexts. The educational objectives of the study program also aim to develop the skills, abilities, and operational autonomy necessary for the practice of the professions of graduate agricultural expert and/or graduate agrotechnician, for which the professionalIzing degree in Digital Systems in Agriculture is enabling.

Admission Requirements

42+
4+
Requirements and knowledge necessary for admission To be admitted to the degree program, candidates must hold a high school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable, and possess adequate initial preparation. Specifically, a good understanding of basic scientific disciplines is required, with a depth comparable to that acquired through high school education. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate logical and comprehension skills, as well as sufficient abilities in written elaboration and oral expression in the Italian language.
Methods of verification of knowledge and personal preparation In accordance with legal provisions (Article 4 of DM 446/2020), the degree program has a limited number of seats, tailored to the needs of the job market and the availability of external annual internships. For the academic year 2025-26, the number of available slots for enrolment in the first year is set at 50. Access is regulated by the mandatory TOLC-LP test, designed to assess students' initial preparation in terms of basic mathematical knowledge and elementary comprehension and logical skills. The valid test for admission to the degree program is the TOLC-LP, an online test administered by CISIA (Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso - https://www.cisiaonline.it). The structure and topics of the test, along with other useful information, can be found on the page https://www.cisiaonline.it/area-tematica-tolc-lauree-professionalizzanti/home-tolc-lp/. The TOLC-LP can be held at the University of Milan or at any other university affiliated with CISIA. Registration procedures and deadlines are indicated in the admission notice published on the programme website. The test results will be communicated confidentially to each student, highlighting any deficiencies identified during the test itself.
Additional Training Requirements and Procedures for Remedying Deficiencies (OFA) Students who are conditionally admitted to the degree program and receive an insufficient outcome in the mathematics section (score lower than or equal to half of the maximum value) will be assigned additional training requirements (OFA). For students with OFA, a recovery program will be organized (in the September-October period), structured with online exercises on an e-learning platform and moments of discussion and clarification with a tutor. After participating in the recovery activities, students with OFA will be required to undergo a final assessment verification.
