The primary objective of the Bachelor's Degree in Physics is to provide graduates with a solid foundation in basic physics, encompassing both classical and modern physics. The theoretical courses enable students to acquire an understanding of the fundamental concepts of physics, while laboratory courses provide knowledge of techniques and methodologies for data analysis in experimental settings.
Graduates will be able to apply the fundamental methods of scientific research to the modeling of complex systems, even in fields beyond physics. The program also provides knowledge of mathematical and computational tools that are essential for describing physical phenomena and their numerical modeling. All the basic physics knowledge and methodological tools gained by graduates will serve as a foundation for specialization in various branches of physics through a master's degree program and potentially a subsequent doctoral program. Additionally, these skills are valuable for those who choose to enter the job market directly. The program features mandatory theoretical and experimental education across a broad spectrum, with a duration of three years, divided into semesters. In the first year, students acquire foundational knowledge in differential and integral calculus, algebra, geometry, computer science, and fundamental concepts of classical physics. In the second year, students delve into core topics in classical and quantum physics, as well as their mathematical foundations. They also reinforce their knowledge of analysis and computer science.
In the third year, students consolidate their understanding of quantum physics and are introduced to modern physics, with topics such as nuclear and subnuclear physics and the structure of matter. They also acquire basic knowledge of chemistry.

Admission requirements
Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
Applicants to the Bachelor's degree programme in Physics must hold an upper secondary-school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad.
Admission to the programme is open, subject to a mandatory, non-selective assessment test before enrolment. The test is aimed at ascertaining the candidate's educational background, in terms of knowledge and understanding of the basic scientific disciplines, especially mathematics and elementary logic. The test syllabus is available at:
Candidates are usually assessed through the TOLC CISIA Online Test, to be taken at the University of Milan or any other universities belonging to the Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems (CISIA). Students have to register for the TOLC test on the CISIA website (www.cisiaonline.it).
Admission of transfer or graduate students
Transfer students from a degree programme of the University of Milan, or another university, and graduate students will be waived from the test requirement only if they are admitted to years subsequent to the first.
For further details, please see the call for applications
Admission Test (TOLC) Requirements
To enroll in the Bachelor's Degree Program in Physics, students must take one of the following TOLC tests: TOLC-S or TOLC-I.
Students may enroll regardless of their test results.
· TOLC-S: Details about the test structure, topics covered, and other useful information are available at the following link:
Each TOLC test includes an additional English section, consisting of 30 questions to be answered in 15 minutes. This section does not replace the for-credit English proficiency assessment required by the degree programme, but serves as a self-assessment tool for the student.
Other equivalent tests may be accepted on a case-by-case basis, with the prior approval of the Academic Board.
Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
First-year students who have not achieved at least 10 points in the Mathematics module will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA) for this subject within the first year of the programme.
Remedial activities and tests: students with additional learning requirements will have to carry out remedial activities in the period October-December, and then pass a test to prove they have filled their gaps. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to take any second-year exams before passing the Mechanics exam (https://fisica.cdl.unimi.it/it/studiare/le-matricole).
