Other requirements	This is a limited-admission programme that requires you to take an online written entry test called the TOLC-E, which is offered by the test provider CISIA. This test evaluates your knowledge of mathematics, logic and reading comprehension, and it can be taken in English or in Italian. Alternatively, you can provide the results of the SAT. Applicants not requiring a visa must register for and take the entry test and respond to one of the calls for applications posted in the Admission section of the programme’s official web page.
