The programme has a limited number of places (local admission planning).

Entry requirements:
Admission requires an upper secondary school diploma or another qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable. For access and successful participation, applicants are expected to have a good basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, together with adequate reasoning and comprehension skills. Admission is subject to a capped number of places.

Assessment of initial preparation:
Applicants sit an entrance test verifying the required knowledge. The test is normally held in the first ten days of September and consists of multiple-choice questions on basic scientific knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, based on upper secondary school syllabi. If applications exceed the available places, a selective ranking list is drawn up. Where the assessment is not satisfactory, Additional Learning Requirements (OFA) are assigned, to be fulfilled during the first year.

Sustainable intake:
The number of places is set annually pursuant to Law No. 264 of 2 August 1999.
