Content in Italian
Il corso di economia aziendale consente l'iscrizione a tutti coloro che sono in possesso del diploma di scuola secondaria superiore.
Sono, comunque, previste alcune conoscenze di base ritenute fondamentali per la proficua frequenza dei corsi di laurea attivati nel Dipartimento di Economia e Management.
I prerequisiti di matematica riguardano i seguenti elementi:
- numeri interi, razionali, reali,
- equazioni e disequazioni di primo e secondo grado,
- piano cartesiano, geometria analitica (equazione della retta).
I prerequisiti linguistici sono relativi alla conoscenza basilare, in forma scritta e orale, di una lingua dell'Unione Europea diversa dall'italiano.
Le modalità per la verifica del possesso dei requisiti d'accesso, comuni ai corsi di laurea del Dipartimento di Economia e Management, sono specificate nel regolamento didattico del corso di studi; in tale regolamento sono indicati anche gli eventuali obblighi formativi aggiuntivi previsti nel caso in cui la verifica non sia positiva.
Informazioni relative ai requisiti d'accesso ed alla loro modalità di verifica sono pubblicate nel sito del web Dipartimento di Economia e Management alla pagina del corso di laurea
Content in Italian
Per essere ammessi al Corso di Laurea in Economia aziendale occorre essere in possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria di secondo grado o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo, ed aver verificato il possesso di un'adeguata preparazione iniziale.
La verifica del possesso di un'adeguata preparazione iniziale è effettuata tramite il test TOLC-E, anche sostenuto nella modalità TOLC@Casa. Il sostenimento di tale test, a carattere autovalutativo, è obbligatorio. Se tale obbligo è disatteso non possono essere sostenuti esami del CdS, fatta eccezione dell'esame di lingua e del test di abilità informatiche.
Il test si considera superato qualora lo studente abbia ottenuto un punteggio maggiore o uguale ad una soglia minima stabilita dal Consiglio di Dipartimento.
Nel caso di non superamento del test è comunque possibile procedere all'immatricolazione con un Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo (OFA), il cui assolvimento potrà avvenire secondo le modalità descritte nelle apposite pagine web pubblicate nel sito del Dipartimento e nel sito del Corso di Laurea. Si fa presente che in caso di mancato assolvimento dell'OFA è possibile sostenere solo gli esami del primo anno di corso.
Per i cittadini residenti in un paese non appartenente all'Unione Europea è richiesta, inoltre, una certificazione attestante un livello di conoscenza della lingua italiana non inferiore al B2.
