Content in Italian
Oltre al possesso di un diploma di scuola secondaria superiore, o altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero e riconosciuto idoneo, per l'ammissione al Corso è richiesto il possesso o l'acquisizione di una buona formazione di cultura generale nel settore umanistico, linguistico e dell'educazione civica. L'accertamento dell'effettiva sussistenza delle conoscenze di cultura generale viene operato mediante prova non selettiva, consistente in un test organizzato in collaborazione con il Consorzio interuniversitario CISIA e denominato TOLC-SU (Scienze umane), articolato in 50 quesiti a risposta multipla, suddivisi in 3 sezioni: Comprensione del testo e conoscenza della lingua italiana, Conoscenze e competenze acquisite negli studi, Ragionamento logico. La suddetta prova non selettiva, non ripetibile, viene effettuata due volte l'anno, prima dell'inizio dei semestri di lezione, per rivolgersi anche agli studenti che si iscrivono entro il 31 dicembre, dopo la scadenza regolare dei termini. In caso di esito negativo, lo studente dovrà svolgere in via preventiva un colloquio integrativo separato, in occasione di uno dei seguenti esami: Diritto costituzionale I o Diritto privato I. Il colloquio integrativo verte sulla conoscenza dei contenuti di uno, a scelta del candidato, dei testi che verranno di anno in anno indicati dal corso di laurea nell'informativa pubblicata nel sito di Dipartimento, nella pagina dedicata al Test d'ingresso http://web.jus.unipi.it/pagina-2/test-di-valutazione-per-le-matricole/, nella quale verrà indicato anche il punteggio minimo di idoneità della prova. Qualora non superi il colloquio integrativo, lo studente gravato da OFA, finché non li abbia soddisfatti, non potrà sostenere esami del II e III anno.
