Content in Italian
I Requisiti e le modalità di accesso al corso di Laurea Magistrale a ciclo unico in Medicina e Chirurgia sono disciplinati da Leggi e Normative Ministeriali in ambito nazionale.
Per essere ammessi al corso di Laurea Magistrale in Medicina e Chirurgia occorre essere in possesso di un Diploma di Scuola Secondaria Superiore o di altro titolo di studio conseguito all'estero, riconosciuto idoneo.
Le conoscenze richieste per l'accesso sono di carattere scientifico relative alle discipline di Biologia, Chimica, Fisica e Matematica oltre al possesso di una adeguata cultura generale che si traduca in capacità di logica deduttiva, induttiva e comprensione del testo.
Agli studenti che sono stati ammessi al corso con una votazione inferiore a una prefissata soglia minima saranno assegnati degli obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA) secondo le modalità individuate dal CDS.
Content in Italian
Il test di ammissione, di contenuto identico in tutte le sedi di prova, è predisposto dal Ministero dell'università e della ricerca (MUR) avvalendosi di soggetti con comprovata competenza in materia, individuati nel rispetto dei principi di imparzialità, trasparenza e riservatezza, tenuti al rigoroso rispetto del segreto professionale e d'ufficio e di una Commissione di esperti, per la validazione delle domande. Le modalità e i contenuti della prova stessa sono definiti dal MUR anno per anno con apposito decreto dal quale deriva il bando di Ateneo.
A seguito dell'esito della prova verranno attribuiti obblighi formativi aggiuntivi (OFA) nelle discipline di Biologia, Chimica, Fisica ai candidati vincitori che hanno ottenuto nelle prove di ammissione un punteggio equalizzato inferiore a 5 nella sezione Biologia, per l'OFA in BIOLOGIA, e/o nella sezione Chimica e Fisica, per l'OFA in CHIMICA e in FISICA.
L'Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo deve essere recuperato durante il primo anno, attraverso le modalità concordate con il docente titolare dell'insegnamento di Biologia, Chimica e/o Fisica in cui è stato individuato l'obbligo formativo. Il superamento dell'esame finale del corso integrato sullo stesso argomento in cui è stato attribuito l'OFA vale come prova di assolvimento dell'OFA stesso. L'assolvimento degli OFA è indispensabile per l'iscrizione al secondo anno di corso.
