Requirements for enrolment in subsequent years - Science and Engineering

Requirements for enrolment in subsequent years ("sbarramenti")

In order to be admitted to the second year, the student must have cleared the additional training obligations (OFAs) and obtained the number of credits defined in the regulations, by taking the exams required in their study plan, by the specified date in the calendar year following the year of enrolment (e.g.: if the student enrolled in October 2022 - A.A. 22/23, they must have the requirements to enrol in the second year by the following dates in 2023):

• Biotechnology: OFA and 30 CFUs by 5 October;
• Bioinformatics: OFA and 24 CFUs by 10 December;
• Computer Science: OFA and 24 CFUs by 10 December;
• Human Centered Medical System Engineering: OFA and 24 CFUs by 10 December;
• Applied Mathematics: OFA and 24 CFUs by 10 December;

For the degree courses in Viticultural and Oenological Science and Technology and in Innovation and sustainability in the industrial production of food, the student must have passed the basic skills assessment (OFA) by the end of the autumn session of the first year.

Additional Learning Obligations (OFA)

If the student has enrolled without having acquired the basic knowledge upon entry, they are assigned corresponding Additional Learning Obligations (OFA) to be met during the first year of the course. In particular, in order to facilitate the timely acquisition of basic skills, specific supplementary and support teaching activities are organised. The student, therefore, must pass - strictly within the first year of the course - the ad hoc assessment tests, organised by the teaching structure and communicated by the same together with useful information on times and methods. 
For some study courses, OFAs are considered to have been fulfilled by passing specific exams: please check this detail on the course's web page in the section "How to enrol - Entry requirements - Methods and dates of verification", taking care to select the academic year of enrolment from the appropriate menu. 

Remedial courses and OFA tests

The calendar of remedial courses for OFAs for the academic year 2022/2023 will be published in the Documents section at the bottom of the page, and communicated through MyUnivr.

The basic knowledge verification is held in presence or, for organisational reasons at the discretion of the Operational Unit, online. Dates are published in the Documents section at the bottom of the page, and communicated through MyUnivr.

Minimum thresholds for passing the verification

For students of the Computer Science Department:

• the Mathematics-Logic test consists of 20 mathematics and 10 logic questions, lasts 70 minutes, and is considered passed with a score greater than or equal to 6/30;
  • for Applied Mathematics students the score must be greater than or equal to 12/30.

For students in the Biotechnology Department:

• the Mathematics-Physics test consists of 20 questions in mathematics and 10 in physics, lasts 70 minutes, and is considered passed with an overall score of 6/30 or higher;
• the Chemistry-Biology test consists of 10 chemistry and 10 biology questions, lasts 40 minutes, and is considered passed with an overall score of 4/20 or higher.
