Admission
The admission exams for Bachelor's degrees take place every September. The written part starts with a 60-question, multiple-choice test, aimed to test the candidate's general culture and reasoning ability: if the score is satisfactory, a second part follows, involving the composition of short essays regarding science, humanities and economy, and the translation of an English text into Italian (only for italian students). Average marks of 7/10 or more in the written tests are required in order to proceed to the oral examination, in which a judging committee further tests the candidates' knowledge, critical sense and motivation. Candidates eligible for the Collegio are those who score a mark of 8/10 or more in this part: among them, only up to 24 are granted admission. There is also an admission exam for the Master's degree, based on the student's résumé and an oral examination.

Famous quotes containing the word admission:
“Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue, I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces others to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The admission of Oriental immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with our people has been made the subject either of prohibitory clauses in our treaties and statutes or of strict administrative regulations secured by diplomatic negotiations. I sincerely hope that we may continue to minimize the evils likely to arise from such immigration without unnecessary friction and by mutual concessions between self-respecting governments.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The admission of the States of Wyoming and Idaho to the Union are events full of interest and congratulation, not only to the people of those States now happily endowed with a full participation in our privileges and responsibilities, but to all our people. Another belt of States stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
