Other requirements	Admission to this programme requires you to take an online written entry test called TOLC-I, which is offered by the test provider CISIA. This test evaluates your knowledge of mathematics, logic, science and reading comprehension, and it can be taken in English or in Italian. Both non-EU applicants requiring a visa and EU applicants must register themselves independently to take the test on CISIA’s website, choosing one of the dates on which the English TOLC-I is offered and paying the test fee of 30 euro. Applicants not requiring a visa must register for and take the entry test before enrolment in the programme.
