First Cycle Degrees (L)

Those who have an high school diploma or another qualification obtained abroad recognized as valid can enrol in any First Cycle or Single Cycle degree programme. 

Students from the European Union and non-EU students who are considered equivalent to EU students can enrol in a degree programme at the University of Florence as full-time students, or as part-time students (with a reduction in tuition fees and teaching commitment; for more information part-time).

All students must take the Entrance Knowledge Test (TOLC and other admission tests), a test for the assessment of initial knowledge. The "OFA" test can also be taken after enrolment. Passing is necessary to be admitted to the exams. 
Each degree programme establishes the criteria by which the test is passed and the criteria that assign any Additional Educational Obligations (OFA) to the student.

To submit the application for enrolment in national restricted access programmes or local restricted access programmes, students must follow the instructions and comply with the deadlines set out in the calls for admission to the programmes.

Enrolment in the years following the first is possible only if there are places available (see transfers) and if you meet the requirements indicated in the call for admission.

To enrol in unrestrictred degree programmes, the student, after registering with the Online Student Services, must complete the online application according to the deadlines.

At the end of the registration, the online system generates the enrolment fee which must be paid by the deadline for enrolment as provided for in the Study Regulations (see also the tuition fees and contributions section).

Those who have an access qualification obtained abroad do not obtain the identification number automatically, but must wait for the validation of the documents by the Student Office.
