Assessment of Adequacy of Personal Readiness
What is
The Assessment of Adequacy of Personal Readiness is the tool provided by the Educational Regulations to assess your preparation for the purpose of matriculation to the Master's Degree.
How it works
To enter the Course you must successfully take:
.- a test for theverification of personal preparation
- a test for the verification of English language proficiency (if you do not hold an English language certificate with B2 level)
The test consists of a public interview aimed at ascertaining your general preparation with particular reference to the knowledge of fundamental notions to profitably follow your studies, especially in the area of the disciplines characterizing the L-43 degree class, and/or to ascertain your knowledge of the English language. The minimum knowledge you must possess is described in the Syllabus below.
The committee will also take into account the record you have obtained in the Bachelor's degree program.
The outcome of the test can be "passed" or "failed." If you fail the test you will be allowed to retake the interview.
The Committee is composed of Professors Maria Clelia Galassi, Pietro Manfrinetti, Pietro Marescotti, Paolo Prati, Mirca Zotti.
