In addition, students must have acquired suitable basic knowledge about the two following aspects: 1) logical-mathematical knowledge, i.e. understanding and production of logical and quantitative reasoning also through the use of basic mathematical notions; and 2) linguistics and verbal knowledge, i.e. knowledge of the grammatical structures, syntax and lexicon of the Italian language and ability to read and understand texts to use all or part of the information. The verification of possession of the aforementioned basic knowledge takes place through the admission test. The negative outcome of this verification does not prevent enrollment. If the verification is not passed, students are assigned additional educational obligations (OFA).

Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS)

As part of the Quality Assurance system, complete, updated and easily available information on objectives, study plan, resources used and results achieved for each degree programme is made available through the SUA-CdS - Scheda Unica Annuale del Corso di Studio (Degree programme annual factsheet). This includes an Overview and three public sections (Learning Objectives, Student Experience, Learning Outcomes) which together provide a wide range of information about each degree programme. The SUA-CdS also contains an administrative section (Administration and Quality Management) that is for internal use only.

The Degree programme annual factsheet (SUA-CdS), which is currently available only in Italian, is a valuable tool that can be used by the University to design, implement and reorganise, as well as to evaluate, each degree programme. However, the SUA-CdS factsheet is also useful for students, to help them choose the right programme of study.
