The individual preparation test is conducted in the form of a career examination and public interview and is carried out by a Commission appointed by the Councils of the Study Courses in Mechanical Engineering and composed of professors belonging to the Councils themselves.

•        If you have obtained a degree mark of at least 85/110 and less than 99/110 of the highest mark (in the degree that fulfils the curricular requirements) or you hold a degree obtained abroad with a final grade ranging from "B" to "D" in the ECTS system, you will be subject to a career evaluation by the Commission. The career assessment will be carried out taking into consideration the grades achieved in the individual examinations and the dates on which they were taken, as well as the time taken to complete the course. Should you fail the career examination, you will be subjected to an examination of your individual preparation in the form of a public interview.

•      If you have a degree mark of less than 85/110 of the highest grade (in the degree that fulfils the curricular requirements) or you hold a degree awarded abroad with a final grade of "E" in the ECTS system, you will be subject to both a career examination and an individual preparation test in the form of a public interview.

The individual preparation test in the form of a public interview will be aimed at ascertaining your general preparation with particular reference to your knowledge of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering and of applied and professional aspects relating to the following topics:

•       mechanical systems, materials and technologies
•        mechanics, technical drawing and machine building
•       thermal energy systems, machines and heat transmission
•       measures.

      You may take a maximum of 2 tests per academic year.
