To enrol in the first year of a bachelor’s or the five year single-cycle degree course at the University of Florence, you must have a secondary school qualification. The registration process requires some basic steps that must be followed carefully.

First of all, you must register with the University’s online student services and complete the enrolment application by the deadlines indicated in the Study Manifesto for the current academic year. It is important to pay registration fees according to the instructions and deadlines specified by the University.

Once you have completed your enrolment, you will be able to attend classes on your chosen course. However, before taking examinations, it will be necessary to pass the entrance knowledge test. This test, which may include the test of choice orientation (TOLC) or other admission tests specific to the University, will assess your basic skills required for the course of study.

If you have opted for a course with a national or local quota system, you must comply with the indications and deadlines specified in the relevant admission notice.

It is also possible to enrol as a part-time student, which leads to a reduction in fees and tuition. This option is ideal for those who wish to reconcile their studies with other personal or professional commitments.

For further details and to proceed with enrolment, we advise you to consult the University of Florence’s official enrolment page and the “Manifesto degli Studi” for the current academic year.

Admission requirements vary depending on the degree course chosen. In general, an upper secondary school diploma or a recognised equivalent qualification is required. Students with validated foreign qualifications may apply to any degree course or five year single-cycle degree course offered by the University of Florence. Further details on specific requirements, including admission tests and registration deadlines, can be found in the dedicated section on the University website.

You have the option of registering contemporaneously:

• for two undergraduate, master’s or five year single-cycle degree courses that do not belong to the same degree class and that differ in at least two-thirds of their educational activities;
• for two different master’s courses;
• for a bachelor’s or master’s degree course or a single-cycle degree course and a master’s, PhD or specialisation course, with the exception of medical specialisation courses;
• for a doctoral or master’s degree course and a medical specialisation course. In the case of simultaneous enrolment in a PhD course and a medical specialisation course, please consult the PhD Regulations;
• a doctoral or master’s degree course and a non-medical specialisation course;
• for two courses with local limited numbers: in this case, you must be in a favourable position in the rankings for both courses.

Concurrent enrolment in a course belonging to the system prior to Ministerial Decree 509 of 1999 and one of the courses listed in the previous section is not permitted.

Tuition fees at the University of Florence depend on the course of study and the student’s status. Fees vary and are split between tuition fees, regional fees and student service fees. Fees can be paid by bank transfer, online payment or at participating bank counters. Students are required to monitor payment deadlines and to regularly consult the dedicated section on the University website for any updates and specific details.

TOLC stands for Test OnLine CISIA. This is the test for those wishing to enrol in a degree programme that requires the assessment of initial knowledge prior to enrolment.

The knowledge to be assessed depends on the degree course chosen. The TOLC is different from student to student and consists of questions selected from the CISIA TOLC database. All TOLCs belonging to the same type have a similar or at least comparable level of difficulty.

You can do the TOLC at any university, even those other than your place of enrolment. For access to courses at the University of Florence, both TOLCs taken at the university, in presence or remote mode, and those taken in presence or remote mode at other universities are valid.
Registration is online at CISIA and requires payment of a fee of €30 (except for the TEST ARCHED).
