Il corso non prevede il numero programmato.
Si richiede la conoscenza dei contenuti di Matematica e Logica tipici di un programma della scuola superiore.
Il possesso dei requisiti d'accesso viene accertato tramite test.
Le modalità di svolgimento del test sono specificate nel regolamento didattico del corso di studi.
Le modalità di recupero degli eventuali obblighi formativi aggiuntivi sono specificate nel regolamento didattico del corso di studi.
La verifica del possesso dei requisiti avviene mediante un test di ingresso somministrato prima dell'inizio delle lezioni con eventuali repliche durante l'anno accademico.
Agli studenti che decidono di immatricolarsi al corso di laurea in Informatica senza aver superato il TOLC-S, entro la fine del primo semestre, viene assegnato un OFA (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo).
1. L'OFA consiste nel seguire e completare il corso on-line di Matematica di Base e di Comprensione del Testo.
2. L'Assolvimento dell'OFA consiste nel superamento del TOLC-S, da sostenere durante il I anno di corso.
L'OFA non blocca l'accesso agli esami di nessun insegnamento del primo anno.
Lo studente non può sostenere esami del II anno fino a quando non ha assolto l'OFA. In ogni caso, l'assolvimento dell'OFA deve essere 'verbalizzato' in carriera. Chi non completa questo passaggio, non può sostenere esami del II anno.
Le informazioni relative ai test sono consultabili alla pagina web del Corso di Studio.

Career opportunities
Enrolment
The Degree Program in Computer science has an open access.
In order to attend the course, students must take a non-selective evaluation test to verify the initial preparation level.
This test can be taken even after the enrolment completion. Here you can find the evaluation test information.
How to enrol
Enrolment for the a.y. 2023/2024 will start at the end of July 2023. The official dates are being defined.
After signing up, you can choose:
- Standard enrolment;
- Degree program shortening (in the event of a university degree already obtained);
- Relocation from another University.
The procedure will request:
- ID scanned copy
- passport-sized photo (please check size)
- High school diploma details (Secondary School Name, year, final mark).
Students with a foreign qualification are required to upload:
- Declaration of Value (DV) issued by the Italian Diplomatic Authorities in their home country, along with the official translation into Italian of the diploma, legalised (or with an “apostille”) and validated, OR, the ENIC-NARIC certificate is accepted in Italian Language. These documents should attest at least 12 years of schooling and the relevant qualification should allow the access to higher education.
For Degree Program shortening the obtained University degree will be required. For relocation from another University previous university career will be required from the other university.
At the end of procedure please print and sign the FORIM to complete enrolment and upload it on the Alice portal in the Career section annexes.
Students with special needs
Students with handicap under art. 3 Italian Law no. 104/1992 or with a certified disability equal or above 66% are required to upload a medical certificate attesting their health condition for university tuition fees exemption (duty stamp is required anyway).
Some special categories under art. 1.1.2 lett. d) e) and art.1.1.3 lett. c) of the Regulations on Tuition fees (such as Italian government scholarship holders, competition winners, detained subjects ) shall email to matricolandosi@unipi.it for a specific calculation of tuition fees.
If you are not applying for the DSU scholarship
If you are not applying for the DSU scholarship, which will be acquired automatically, after choosing your programme, you are required to pay the first installment of tuition fees.
Information and deadlines regarding fees and scholarships for the a.y. 2023/2024 are still being defined.
International students with a foreign qualification applying for a visa applicants can pay the first installment of fees and submit the necessary documentation by 29 February 2024 without delay.
If you are applying for the DSU scholarship
If you are applying for the scholarship, which is automatically acquired and results in immediate enrolment after the ‘choice of course’, the payment of the first installment is deferred to the deadline of the second tuition fee installment: those who successfully gain the scholarship will not be required to pay any university fees. They will only have to pay €16.00 for duty stamp.
Within 3 working days from the payment (or from the ‘choice of course’ in case of submission of the scholarship application), you will receive a welcome email and on you home page of the Alice portal, in the ‘NOTES’ section, the message ‘ENROLLED 2023/24’, will be displayed until the documents presented online are validated.
After tuition fee payment (or alternatively after scholarship application) you are required to upload the FORIM signed on both 2 pages in the Career section annexes of Alice portal. This document will be checked by the Matricolandosi Centre along with your ID card.
As confirmation of your enrolment registration, you will receive a welcome email to your personal email address and at the same time the wording ‘REGISTERED 2023/24’ will be displayed on the Alice portal home page, in the ‘NOTES’ field, which will remain visible until your documents (FORIM, ID document) have passed all the administrative checks.
Only after FORIM has been validated will you be able to book the withdrawal of your Student Card..
The procedures for issuing the Student card can be seen here.
Students with foreign qualification, regardless of their citizenship, must upload the necessary documents that must be validated by the International Office (wis@unipi.it); after enrolment, they will have to upload the enrolment form (FORIM) and follow the procedure described on the page for issuing the student card.
For Degree Program shortening the previous university career will be recognized after submitting to the Students Office the “qualifications recognition” form with the annexed self certification of all exams.
For relocation from another University the Students Office will confirm you the acceptance of the discharge papers from the university of origin.
