Application

In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's Degree programme in Economics: Behavior, Data and Policy, prospective students must hold an upper secondary school diploma or equivalent qualification obtained abroad after at least 12 years of schooling; they also must have an adequate educational background and possess basic skills in the area of language comprehension, logic and mathematics.
Pursuant to Art. 2 of the Law 264/1999, in order to ensure high quality education (in particular with respect to the capacity constraints necessary to run laboratories, and to hold individual and group presentations in some courses), the maximum number of students who can enroll in the Bachelor's Degree programme in Economics: Behavior, Data and Policy is set at 100, plus 15 places reserved for international non-EU candidates residing abroad.
Assessment of basic knowledge and skills will be ascertained through an online admission test, held in English language - English TOLC-E admission test, the Online Test organized by CISIA (Interuniversity Consortium for Integrated Access Systems), that will focus on the topics listed in the syllabus given at the following link: https://www.cisiaonline.it/area-tematica-english-tolc-economia/structur…
Selection of students is based on the English TOLC-E admission test too; admission ranking is exclusively based on the score obtained in logic and mathematics sections of the English TOLC-E test. Applicants who want to transfer from other Degree programmes or who already hold a degree and request its recognition (partial or total) must also sit for the test and rank sufficiently high.
The admission test is organized in two sessions: a Spring Session exclusively reserved for students attending their last year of secondary school, and a Summer Session, open to all candidates.
International non-EU candidates residing abroad - both those in their last year of secondary school and those who already got their diploma in previous years - must apply in the Spring Session.
Candidates (both EU and non-EU) who don't reach an overall score of 10 in the mathematics and logic sections (jointly considered) the English TOLC-E will be excluded from the admission procedure.

Additional Learning Requirements (OFA)
Admitted candidates who didn't reach an overall score of 15 in the mathematics and logic sections of the English TOLC-E will be assigned Additional Learning Requirements (OFA, Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi) in the area of logic and mathematics, that must be fulfilled within the first year; students who do not fulfil OFA within this deadline will not be able to take the exams of the second or third year. Further information on these OFA is available online on the Bachelor Degree programme website.

Additional Learning Requirements in English Language proficiency (OFA B2)
To be able to sit the exams included in the degree programme, students must be proficient in English at a B2 level under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This proficiency level may be certified as follows:
- By submitting a language certificate attesting B2 or higher level in English and issued no more than three years before the date of submission. You will find the list of language certificates recognized by the University at: (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322). The certificate must be uploaded during the enrolment procedure, or subsequently to the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- By submitting a secondary school diploma with English as teaching Language. The diploma must be uploaded during the enrolment procedure in the Language Certificate section, or subsequently to the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- By taking a placement test offered by the University Language Centre (SLAM) during year I only, in October. Students who fail the test will be required to take a SLAM course. The Placement Test is mandatory for all students who do not hold a valid certificate, or a secondary school diploma with English as teaching language. Students who do not sit the Placement Test by October or who fail to pass the SLAM end-of-course test within six attempts, must obtain a paid certificate to be able to register for and sit any exam included in the degree programme.
