How it works

The following courses have access in chronological order of enrolment, with an evaluation of the high school final grade: 

  • Biology (second option)*
  • Biotechnologies (second option)*
  • Chemistry
  • Pharmaceutical chemistry and technology
  • Constructions, infrastructures and territorial management
  • Sustainable design for food systems
  • Economics and management
  • Pharmacy
  • Quality and procurement of raw materials for agri-food
  • Animal science
  • Educational sciences
  • Food science and technology
  • Sport sciences, physical exercise and human health
  • Dairy enterprise technologies and management

*The degree courses in Biology and Biotechnologies have a double access procedures: the first one requires passing a TOLC test, while the second one will consider the chronological order of registration with merit recognition through the high school final grade. You can find out more about these 2 courses by visiting the page Access by TOLC or chronological order of enrolment with merit enhancement through the high school final grade.

To participate in the allocation of available places, you will have to reserve your place on 15th July and enter, before or after that date, your high school final grade. Your ranking will be determined by two factors: 

  • the chronological order of your reservation;
  • the final grade.

The reservation procedure is free of charge, and it is possible to reserve for more than one course that provides this type of access.

You can reserve a place even if you are already enrolled in another course. Only at a later stage, in case of a successful placement, it will be necessary to withdraw from studies or request a course transition.

All the steps reported in the following paragraphs are entirely online and must preceded by the registration on the University information system (ESSE3).

PLEASE NOTE! On 15th July the SPID system will not be active to allow the improvement of the functioning of the platform, therefore:

  • if you are over the age of 18 with Italian citizenship or were born in Italy, you must register exclusively with SPID and you must complete this process no later than n 14th July (last day);
  •  
  • If you do not belong to the two previous categories, you are not required to register using the SPID and you can therefore register at any time. However, we recommend that you register before enrolments open so you can quickly reserve your place on 15th July.

How to enter your high school diploma data

You can enter your qualification details and grade from the 1st July at 9 a.m. to the 21st July 2025 at 12 p.m. (noon).
