Per essere ammessi al Corso di Laurea occorre essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria di secondo grado o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo.
Per l'accesso al Corso di studio si richiede che l'allievo possieda adeguate conoscenze, competenze e capacità nei settori propedeutici indispensabili a una proficua fruizione degli studi di Ingegneria, con riferimento particolare alle aree della Matematica, della Fisica e della Chimica. Il corso di studio, nelle modalità di verifica, opera in modo da consentire allo studente il raggiungimento di un'adeguata consapevolezza del possesso dei suddetti requisiti.
Il dettaglio delle conoscenze richieste e delle modalità di verifica del loro possesso è contenuto nel Regolamento Didattico del corso di laurea, ove saranno anche indicati gli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi assegnati in caso la verifica dia esito negativo.
Per quanto riguarda le modalità di verifica delle conoscenze richieste per l'accesso, il Corso di studio, in coordinamento con la Scuola di Ingegneria dell'Università di Pisa e con gli altri corsi di Ingegneria, ha aderito al Test on line (TOLC-I) promosso e gestito dal Consorzio Interuniversitario Sistemi Integrati per l'Accesso (C.I.S.I.A.).
Coloro che non riusciranno a superare il test si potranno ugualmente immatricolare, ma risulteranno gravati da OFA (Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi).
Gli studenti gravati da OFA non potranno sostenere alcun esame di profitto.
Per gli studenti che non hanno superato il test sarà organizzato dalla Scuola di Ingegneria un Precorso di Matematica (nel mese di settembre) ed un ulteriore specifico corso di Attività Formative Supplementari (AFS) - denominato Matematica 0 - che verrà svolto durante il primo periodo delle lezioni.
L'estinzione degli OFA potrà essere ottenuta esclusivamente superando una delle prove specifiche organizzate al termine delle attività formative.

Enrolment
The Degree Program in Aerospace Engineering has a limited access.
In order to enroll, students must pass a selection.
The call for admission for the a.y. 2025/2026 has been published.
I session selection deadlines: from the 2nd of May 2025 until the 31st of May 2025 H. 23.59.
225 places for EU and equated non EU citizens (14 reserved to students of Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies)
10 places for non EU citizens residing abroad and applying for VISA (2 reserved to Marco Polo Project candidates)
Registration for the 1st selection session is open.
I session delection deadline: 31st of May 2025 H. 23.59
Sign up or log in to the Alice portal by by the deadline for the session:
- In order to sign up you will be asked to insert details about your Health Insurance card (tessera sanitaria) and your tax code (codice fiscale)
- You will have to upload a scanned copy of your Identity Document and a passport-sized photograph
- Once you entered your personal area, please select “Secretariat” and then “Admission Test”
- Once you have completed the registration, a receipt of registration to the admission test with a unique number will be available
To be included in the ranking it is necessary to have taken the TOLC-I test provided by CISIA according to one of the following two methods chosen by the candidate:
1. TOLC @ CASA-I: Test carried out remotely at home, organized by one of the authorized offices, according to the procedures and calendar published on the CISIA website.
2. TOLC-I: Test carried out in person (in the university classrooms) in one of the authorized locations, according to the procedures and calendar published on the CISIA website.
The TOLC-I can be taken several times, in any case the result of the test with the highest score in the Mathematics section will be considered valid for the purposes of selection, carried out starting from 1 January 2018 by the session deadline. The TOLC-I results are acquired automatically by the university.
A merit ranking will be formulated based on the score of the Mathematics section + 1/30 of the sum of the scores obtained in the section of Logic, Science, Verbal Comprehension.
The tests will consist of a multiple choice test with a total number of 50 questions, each with several possible answers, one of which is correct, divided into several sections:
• Mathematics – 20 questions – time available: 50 minutes
• Logic – 10 questions – time available: 20 minutes
• Science – 10 questions – time available: 20 minutes
• Verbal comprehension – 10 questions – time available: 20 minutes
For each question, it is assigned:
• 1 point for each correct answer;
• minus 0.25 (- 0.25) points for each wrong answer;
• 0 points for each omitted answer.
In the event of a tie, the candidate will prevail who has, in order:
- the higher total score;
- the highest number of correct answers in the Mathematics section;
- younger by birth.
Those enrolled in the selection who have not taken the TOLC-I will not be included in the ranking.
For the first and the second sessions, candidates are eligible for admission if they have obtained a minimum score of 8 points in the Mathematics section. Unsuitable candidates are not included in the ranking.
First session ranking list – Published June 13, 2025
The pre-enrollment number is shown at the bottom of the confirmation receipt for the competition registration (see example).
