The Geological Sciences degree programme aims to provide a solid grounding in geological sciences, enabling graduates to pursue a Master's degree or to enter the job market directly, particularly in the fields of geology, applied geology for land management, georesources and geomaterials. The programme is structured to provide students with an in- depth understanding of the fundamentals of scientific disciplines applied to the study of Earth, while providing the practical skills required to work in the geological sciences.

The programme aims to provide students with:

- a sound understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science, which

will then enable them to quantify and interpret geological processes and the Earth's structure;

- a solid grounding in all areas of the geological sciences to be able to recognise and interpret natural processes

in geological environments;

- analytical skills in field geology for basic geological mapping in diverse terrains;

- analytical laboratory skills for characterising geomaterials and their behaviour;

- technical skills in the use of tools for basic geological investigations;

- the ability to collect and process data using general computational methods and those specific to geological

sciences;

- the ability to apply mathematical models for simulating geophysical and geological processes.

Qualifications and knowledge required for admission To be admitted to the Bachelor's degree programme in Geological Sciences, applicants must hold an upper secondary school-leaving certificate or a suitable equivalent foreign qualification. In addition, an adequate personal preparation is required, particularly in the basic sciences and in elementary logic. Admission assessment: although the Bachelor's degree programme in Geological Sciences has open admissions, a compulsory but non-selective entrance exam is used to assess the applicant's knowledge and preparation prior to enrolment. Assessment is carried out through the TOLC (CISIA Online Test), which students must take either at the University of Milan or at any other university participating in the CISIA network (Interuniversity Consortium for Integrated Access Systems). Registration for the TOLC must be completed on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it). The TOLC tests accepted for admission to the Bachelor's degree programme in Geological Sciences are TOLC-B, TOLC-S and TOLC-I. Students may enrol only after having taken one of the following TOLCs, REGARDLESS OF THE

OUTCOME: TOLC-B, the test structure and topics and other useful information are available at https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/tolc/tolc-b/structure-and-syllabus TOLC-S, the test structure and topics and other useful information are available at https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/tolc/tolc-s/structure-and-syllabus TOLC-I, the test structure and topics and other useful information are available at https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/tolc/tolc-i/structure-and-syllabus Each TOLC test contains an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be completed in 15 minutes, the outcome of which does not count towards the test score. Registration procedures, dates, deadlines and other useful information can be found in the call for applications. Please also see https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/degree-programme-enrolment/enrolment-first-degree-programme. Candidates must show up with a valid identity document at the time and date indicated on the TOLC registration receipt. Admission of transfer or graduate students: Students already enrolled in a degree programme at the University of Milan or at another university or who have already graduated may be exempted from the test only if admitted to years after the first. To this end, a request for evaluation of academic records must be submitted by accessing the online service indicated in the call for applications. Interested parties must declare all the exams they have taken, specifying the relevant scientific-disciplinary sector (SSD), credits and grades, and must attach the syllabuses of courses. For further details on the procedure, please see the call for applications. The deadline for submitting the request for the evaluation of academic records is specified in the call for applications. The outcome of the request will be communicated by email. Students admitted to the first year must take the test. Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities: First-year students who do not achieve a score of at least 10 in the Mathematics section will be assigned additional learning requirements (OFA). Remedial courses will be organised between October and December for students who have been assigned additional learning requirements (OFA). Said students must then pass a remedial exam to demonstrate that they have improved their preparation, or they will not be allowed to take any second-year exams until they have passed the Mathematics I and Information Technology exam.
