Admission test
For enrollment in the Bachelor's degree programs in Pharmacy or Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology, it is required to take a non-selective test according to the procedures specified on the CISIA website.
What is the TOLC test?
It is a test that allows self-assessment of one's aptitude for embarking on a scientific study path and verifies the preparation of the prospective student.
The TOLC test is an individual test managed nationally by CISIA (Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l’Accesso, www.cisiaonline.it), and is adopted by the University of Pavia and many other universities. It is administered online in computer labs. In Pavia, a schedule of tests is offered (found at the end of this document) in the sessions of February, April, July, and September.
The TOLC test is not selective, and not passing it does not prevent enrollment in the desired course of study. However, passing it represents a preferential merit title. Therefore, it is recommended that students interested in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology courses take the TOLC before the "enrollment" windows open, to accumulate merit for enrollment in the courses of interest.
The TOLC can be taken at any universities, even if different from the one where enrollment is desired.
How many times can the TOLC test be taken?
Candidates can take the TOLC test more than once. If a candidate has already submitted their application for enrollment and wishes to replace the certificate already uploaded with one showing a better score, they can submit the request to matricole.scienzedelfarmaco@unipv.it during the designated booking window.
