Content in Italian
Possesso del diploma di scuola secondaria di secondo grado o di altro titolo di studio equivalente conseguito all'estero a seguito di un percorso scolastico di almeno dodici anni, purché riconosciuto idoneo. Dato che il sistema scolastico Uzbeko prevede undici anni di scolarità, per l'accesso al corso gli studenti uzbeki devono acquisire le conoscenze di base di matematica, fisica, chimica, inglese e di fondamenti di geologia richieste per l'accesso tramite la frequenza e il superamento di un anno preparatorio (Preparatory Year), erogato specificatamente dall'Università di Pisa in collaborazione con la University of Geological Sciences of Uzbekistan (UGS). In ogni caso, con le modalità dettagliate nel regolamento didattico del corso di studio, sarà effettuata una verifica delle conoscenze iniziali possedute dagli studenti e, in caso la verifica dia esito negativo, saranno assegnati specifici obblighi formativi aggiuntivi.
Per accedere al corso di studio in Geology, è richiesto un livello di conoscenza della lingua inglese in ingresso non inferiore al B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le lingue (QCER), che sarà verificato secondo le modalità riportate dal regolamento.
In order to access the course, students must have attended and successfully completed the Preparatory Year (or corresponding annual course) mentioned in table A3.a, or to have a secondary school diploma or other equivalent qualification obtained abroad after at least twelve years of schooling, provided that it is recognised as suitable. For students who have completed the Preparatory Year, the assessment of their initial knowledge will be carried out at the end of the academic year, and at the same time, their English language proficiency (level B2) will be assessed through a test or interview. Students who, even after successfully completing the Preparatory Year, have specific deficiencies in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry will be assigned additional educational requirements, which will be extinguished upon passing the relevant exams. Each year, the Degree Course organises educational activities to meet the additional learning requirements.
Students who enrol in the course without attending the Preparatory Year will need to take a test to verify their fundamental knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and basic geology. If the outcome reveals specific deficiencies in this knowledge, students will be assigned additional educational requirements as indicated above. Proficient knowledge of English (level B2) will be verified by an interview.

Career opportunities
Enrolment
To access the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Geology delivered by UNIPI in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, students must have attended and passed the Preparatory Year (PY) in Tashkent. Alternatively, they must hold a secondary school diploma or other equivalent qualification obtained abroad following a school course of at least twelve years, recognized as suitable.
For students attending the PY, verification of the mastery of the required initial knowledge will be carried out at the end of the year of study. Those who, despite successfully completing the PY, will have specific deficiencies in Mathematics/Physics/Chemistry will be assigned additional training obligations which will be extinguished upon passing the examination of the corresponding courses. The Degree Program annually organizes educational activities for the fulfillment of such additional training obligations.
Students who enter the course without attending the PY will have to pass a test of basic knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and fundamentals of geology. If the test results reveal specific deficiencies in this knowledge, the student will be assigned additional educational obligations as indicated above.
A B2 English level is required in any case to access the course.
