Application

Qualifications and knowledge required for admission
Applicants to the single-cycle Master's degree programme in Law must hold a high-school diploma or equivalent foreign qualification, and have adequate background knowledge.
There is no cap on the number of students to be admitted.

Admission assessment
Applicants must sit for a mandatory self-evaluation test known as TOLC-SU, which is managed by CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems). The test provides applicants with a chance to reflect on their choice of university programme, and at the same time to self-assess their preparation, particularly in terms of general knowledge, comprehension and logical skills. Further information on test dates and delivery modes is available in the call for applications to the degree programme.

Additional learning requirements (OFA) and remedial activities
Students can enrol regardless of the outcome of the test. Students who achieve an overall score lower than 20/50 in the first three sections and score less than 12/30 in the section ""Reading comprehension and knowledge of the Italian language"" will be assigned additional learning requirements (OFA, from the Italian Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi) to fill their learning gaps. Additional learning requirements must be fulfilled within the first year of the programme by attending remedial courses organised by the University. For an overview of remedial activities and the consequences of failing to meet the OFA, please visit the programme website.

In order to fulfil the Additional Learning Requirement (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo - OFA) for English and sit the English-language exam required by the study plan, students must achieve B2 proficiency per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This proficiency level may be certified as follows:

· By submitting a language certificate attesting B2 or higher level in English and issued no more than three years before the date of submission. You will find the list of language certificates recognized by the University at: (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322/). The certificate must be uploaded during the enrolment procedure, or subsequently to the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;

· By taking a placement test offered by the University Language Centre (SLAM) between October and December of the first year (or in January for single-cycle programmes). Students who fail the test will be required to take a SLAM course.

The placement test is mandatory for all those who do not hold a valid certificate attesting to B2 or higher level.

Those who have not taken the placement test by the end of January or fail the end-of-course exam six times must obtain the necessary certification privately in order to fulfil the OFA and sit the English exam.

The fulfillment of the OFA (Additional Learning Requirement) for knowledge of the English language at a B2 level is mandatory. Failure to recover the OFA within the timeframes set by the Interdepartmental Teaching Board may result in the suspension of registration for exams.
