The Degree Course in Viticulture and Enology has the main objective of training oenological technicians with adequate skills to establish and manage wineries, enhancing both the agricultural product and the wine derived from it. This objective is pursued by providing, first, adequate basic scientific and cultural knowledge, based on mathematical, physical, chemical and biological sciences and, subsequently, professionalizing skills in the wine sector, aimed at developing operational skills of an agro-technological and managerial nature as well as framing the production activity from a historical, geographical, economic and environmental point of view. Graduates in Viticulture and Enology will, therefore, have an interdisciplinary education on the biological and technological principles related to the cultivation of vines and the production of wine and will be familiar with the political, economic, market and environmental context of the wine sector. The Degree Course in Viticulture and Enology provides interdisciplinary training on the biological and technological principles related to the cultivation of vines and the production of wine, providing professional competence to technicians destined to work in the viticulture, oenology and management sectors of wineries. The curriculum is based on a solid scientific and cultural education (with foundations in the biological, chemical and physical sciences) and on professionalizing courses, aimed at providing operational skills of an agro-technological and managerial nature.

The courses are aimed at deepening the scientific principles underlying the cultivation of vines and wine production, based on the biological, physical and chemical foundations necessary for their understanding. In this perspective, a particular style of winemaking, viticulture or a specific method of vineyard and cellar management is not emphasized, but it is preferred to opt for the achievement of a unifying methodological and scientific competence that can then favor the maturation of an independent vision and vocation.

Each student is however stimulated, through the complementary teaching offer, to deepen the most congenial applicative aspect, in the field of viticulture, rather than wine production, with particular reference to modern agronomic and vineyard protection problems related to climate change and environmental sustainability. These are flanked by aspects of the production chain of other alcoholic beverages of fermentative origin.

Admission requirements
Applicants to the degree programme must hold a secondary-school diploma, or other equivalent qualification, and a suitable background of knowledge in scientific subjects (mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology).
Assessment of the personal qualification
Admission into this Bachelor's degree programme is capped in order to meet high-quality teaching standards relative to the available resources. There are 80 places available for enrolment in the first year, plus 5 places for non-EU students residing abroad and 4 places for Progetto Marco Polo students. Access to the programme is regulated by a compulsory, selective test to ascertain that the candidate meets admission requirements, i.e. knowledge of key science subjects as provided by secondary school, and an understanding of elementary logic. The test required for admission into the degree programme is TOLC-AV, an online test provided by the Consortium of InterUniversity Integrated Access Systems (CISIA - https://www.cisiaonline.it). For test topics and details, please review the page: https://www.cisiaonline.it/en/area-tematica-tolc-agrariaveterinaria/struttura-della-prova-e-syllabus/ You may sit for the TOLC-AV test at the University of Milan or any other member university of CISIA. The calendar with available venues and dates is posted to the page https://tolc.cisiaonline.it/calendario.php?l=gb.Registration procedures and deadlines are set out in the call for applications posted to the page: https://viticolturaenologia.cdl.unimi.it/it/iscriversi Only students high enough in the merit ranking will be eligible for enrolment.
Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Students who are admitted with a score lower than or equal to 4 in the Mathematics section of the TOLC-AV test will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA). Remedial activities will be organized for students with OFA (in the period October-December), both as online exercises on an e-learning platform and as discussion sessions with a tutor. After participating in remedial activities, new students will have to take a final assessment test. Mathematics OFA are prerequisites for all second- and third-year exams. For students who have not passed the OFA final test during the first year, passing the Mathematics exam is a prerequisite for all second- and third-year exams.
