Akademik geçmiş

Numerus clausus with a two-part selection run entirely by UniSR (Politecnico di Milano directs applicants to the UniSR call; the Academic Commission is appointed by the UniSR Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Council). Candidates must hold — or obtain by the Autumn/Fall session of a.y. 2025/2026 — either: (1) a degree in one of the Italian classes L-2 Biotechnology, L-8 Information Engineering, L-13 Biological Sciences, L-31 Information Sciences and Technologies, or LM-41 Medicine and Surgery; OR (2) at least a three-year degree / minimum 180 ECTS including either 21 credits in the sectors INF/01 and ING-INF/05, or 21 credits in the sectors BIO/09, BIO/13 and BIO/16. Applicants who meet neither condition ('candidates with other curricula') are not automatically excluded: the Commission evaluates eligibility from the uploaded exam list and detailed course syllabi, and this pre-check is completed BEFORE test registration can be finalised. Holders of foreign degrees are assessed under the same art. 2.3 / 3.4 criteria by the Admissions & Credential Evaluation Office; where Italian disciplinary sectors (SSD) cannot be identified, the Academic Committee evaluates the uploaded syllabi instead. Applicants with a non-Italian qualification or attending a foreign/international university MUST start registration at least 5 days before the deadline, because they can only book the test after their academic documents have been evaluated. Final verification of the entry qualification happens at enrolment; an unsuitable qualification forfeits the ranking place. Selection stage 2 is an academic-career score based on the weighted average of all bachelor exams (30 cum laude counted as 31), worth 40% of the total ranking score. A motivational letter is required but explicitly NOT scored ('a motivational letter, which will not be part of the evaluation but intended as complementary document').

Dil yeterliliği

English at CEFR B2, required at ENROLMENT — not at application. Art. 7.3 of the call: 'In order to enrol, admitted candidates who confirmed their place must submit an official English language certification corresponding to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference CEFR.' Candidates without the certificate cannot complete enrolment and lose their assigned place. Exemption: 'Those who have attended at least two consecutive years of college entirely in English are exempted from submitting the above-mentioned English language certification.' UniSR's official accepted-certificate list sets the B2 thresholds as Cambridge 160, IELTS 5.5, TOEFL iBT (old version) 72 — the same B2 bar is named for both the MSc in Health Informatics and the MSc in Biotechnology for Innovative Therapeutics (the International MD Program requires C1: Cambridge 180 / IELTS 7.0 / TOEFL iBT 95). Other accepted bodies include LanguageCert, Trinity College London, Password Skills Plus, British Institutes, Pearson (Edexcel / LCCI / EDI), City and Guilds, Oxford Test of English, ESB, LRN, Michigan State University (MSU), Ascentis, AIM Qualifications, Gatehouse Awards, NQAI-ACELS, ESaT Malta and University of Malta. Important caveat: the list states TOEFL iBT is accepted 'only [for] certificates awarded until Dec. 2025'. No Italian-language requirement: 'the knowledge of the Italian language will not be tested.' [uncertain: whether a replacement for post-2025 TOEFL iBT (e.g. TOEFL Essentials) is accepted is not stated on the list]

Sınav / değerlendirme

UniSR's own admission test — mandatory for all candidates; the admissions page states other exams or scores cannot substitute it. Format (identical in both 2026/27 sessions): 24 multiple-choice questions, 4 options each, entirely in English, split as Mathematics 8, Informatics/Computer Science 8, Biology 2, Genetics 2, Anatomy 2, Physiology 2; total time 60 minutes. Questions are randomly drawn from a UniSR-owned question bank. After the 60 minutes, candidates answer 6 additional reserve questions that do NOT count towards the score and are used only to replace a question found to be anomalous. Delivery: home-based online with remote proctoring via Selexi / ProctorExam (Google Chrome proctor plug-in on a Windows 8+/Linux laptop or macOS 10.14+ Mac with webcam and mic, minimum 1.5 Mbps up/down, plus an Android/iOS smartphone or tablet running the ProctorExam app placed behind the candidate; a 'check requirement' technical rehearsal is run from 5 days before the test). Only two sheets of white paper and a pen are permitted. Scoring and ranking: overall score of 40 points — test = 60% of the total (up to 24/40) at +1 per correct answer, -0.25 per incorrect or invalid answer, 0 for blank; academic career = 40% of the total (up to 16/40), scaled proportionally from 0 points at a weighted average of 18/30 to 16 points at 30/30 or above. Ties are broken in favour of the younger candidate. Two separate anonymous ranking lists are published (one EU, one non-EU) within 15 days of the last session. Registration fee: €150.00, non-refundable in all circumstances, paid via PayPal (card accepted, no PayPal account needed) within 15 minutes of booking the session or the booking is cancelled. A spare session exists for candidates disconnected by proven technical faults not attributable to them. Accommodations for disability (+50% time) and SLD (+30% time, non-scientific calculator, reader/scribe tutor) are available on medical certification. Note: the September call's own text lists the test-date-linked spare session date for the April round as '23/04/2025', an evident typo for 2025/2026-cycle dates in the first call. [uncertain: no minimum passing score is published — admission is purely by ranking position until places are filled]
