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.

To fulfil the Additional Learning Requirement (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo - OFA) in English and be able to take the exams of the fourth and fifth year, students are required to have a B2 level of proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

This level of proficiency can be certified as follows:
- by submitting an official language certificate at B2 level or higher, issued no more than three years before the submission date. The list of language certificates recognized by the University is available at https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322.
The certificate must be uploaded during enrolment or later through the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue.
- by taking a placement test administered by the University Language Centre (SLAM) between October and January of the first year. Students who do not pass the test will be required to attend a language course offered by SLAM.

The placement test is compulsory for all students who do not already hold a valid certificate.

Students who do not take the placement test by the end of December (January for single-cycle courses), or who fail the end-of-course test after six attempts, must obtain a language certificate privately in order to fulfil the OFA and sit the English exam.
