Biotechnologies – OFA (Additional learning requirements)

Enrolment in the first year of the course is only possible after passing an admission test. Candidates who have a reasonable ranking within the number of places available will be admitted to the Biotechnology course.

The admission test used is the TOLC-B (CISIA Online Test), organised by UNIBS in collaboration with the CISIA Consortium (Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso).

The compulsory admission test consists of a multiple-choice test of basic knowledge in chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics.

Candidates on the merit list who do not obtain at least 50% of the correct answers in the biology and chemistry questions of the entrance test are assigned additional learning requirements (OFA).

In order to fulfil the educational debt, the student must carry out the specific educational activities established annually by the Course Council or attend remedial courses activated by the University.

Students enrolled in the first year, until the fulfillment of OFA in Biology, will not be allowed to take the following profit exams:

• General and Cell Biology (6 CFU, SSD: BIO/13)
• Genetics and Genomics (Integrated course consisting of the modules General Genetics and Elements of Human Genetics, 3 CFU, SSD: BIO/13 and Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 6 CFU, SSD: BIO/18).

Students enrolled in the first year, until the completion of OFA in Chemistry, will not be allowed to take the following proficiency exam:

• General, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (Integrated course consisting of the modules of General and Inorganic Chemistry, 6 CFU, SSD: CHIM/03 and Organic Chemistry, 6 CFU, SSD: CHIM/06)

Students who do not complete OFA by the end of the first year will not be allowed to enrol in the second year of the course, they will remain enrolled in the first year in supernumerary, with the status of repeat student.
