OFA

Entrance Tests and Additional Educational Obligations (OFAs)

In order to be admitted to a degree programme with fixed number of students, it is necessary to take an entrance test. Even if you pass the test and are admitted, those who score below a predetermined minimum threshold will receive Additional Educational Obligations (OFAs).

The OFAs consist of specific activities designed to help students fill any gaps in their basic knowledge. They must be completed within the first year of the course and are organised directly by the degree course.

The OFAs are specific activities designed to help students fill any gaps in their basic knowledge.

Covering OFAs is important for a more confident approach to university examinations. All information on how to make up the OFAs will be provided by the degree course after admission.

How to recover OFAs

If you have obtained a grade lower than one-third of the maximum achievable grade in one or more of the disciplines, you will be admitted with a formative debt that you will have to make up during the relevant examinations.

During the first year of the course, compulsory activities will be activated, including online to make up the debt. You will take the respective final exams to make up the debt.

N.B.More details on how OFAs are awarded and discharged can be found in the Course Teaching Regulations.
