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. There are two selection rounds, each with its own call for applications: one in the spring (call published in March 2025) and one in the summer (call to be published in June 2025). It is possible to substitute the TOLC-E test with an SAT. Before applying for admission to this programme, non-European applicants requiring a visa must take one of the recognized tests. To understand how this test is taken into account, please consult the Guidelines for admission to the bachelor’s degree in the economics and management area and hospitality programmes for non-European students requiring a visa. It is also possible to substitute the TOLC-E test with an SAT; for details about how to do so and the accepted score range, please consult the guidelines cited earlier.
