The degree course in Mechanical and Production Techniques trains professionals with technical skills in the mechanical field and knowledge of production systems, plant management, quality and safety. The curriculum includes basic training activities that prepares students for technical-engineering subjects, and provides:
  • laboratory activities for the acquisition of practical skills in engineering topics.
  • traineeships in companies, firms, professional practices, public or private organisations.
Graduates and postgraduates acquire technical and engineering skills in the mechanical field, complemented by knowledge of production systems, plant management, quality aspects, and safety. They will be prepared to join the workforce in product development fields or in the production-logistics areas of SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises).In addition, they can enrol in the professional register of Graduated Industrial Experts. The course does not give direct access to any Master’s degree programme because its aim is direct entry into the world of work. Students can enrol in First-level postgraduate degree courses.

Content in Italian
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 e della Fisica. Sono altresì richieste: buona conoscenza della lingua italiana parlata e scritta; capacità di ragionamento logico; conoscenze e competenze nella lingua inglese di livello A2 del Quadro comune europeo per la conoscenza delle lingue.
Il corso di studio, nelle modalità di verifica, opera in modo da consentire allo studente il raggiungimento di un'adeguata consapevolezza del possesso dei requisiti necessari. 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.
Content in Italian
L'accesso al primo anno del Corso di Laurea Professionalizzante in Meccanica e Produzione è a numero programmato locale fissato nel bando di anno in anno a seconda delle disponibilità dei tirocini e laboratori e indicativamente è pari a n. 40. Le selezioni sono basate sul risultato del TOLC (Test On Line CISIA), che verificherà il possesso di adeguate conoscenze, competenze e capacità nei settori propedeutici indispensabili a una proficua fruizione degli studi, con riferimento particolare alle aree della Matematica.
Le modalità per la formulazione della graduatoria saranno indicate nel bando di ammissione. Agli studenti inseriti in graduatoria utile per l'immatricolazione ma con un punteggio nella sezione di Matematica inferiore alla soglia indicata nel “Regolamento sull'accesso agli studi ai Corsi di Laurea” coordinati dalla Scuola di Ingegneria dell'Università di Pisa (https://www.ing.unipi.it/it/entrare-a-ingegneria/tolc) saranno attribuiti degli Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi (OFA).
Gli studenti gravati da Obblighi Formati Aggiuntivi possono estinguerli con il superamento di una prova attestante la conoscenza dei prerequisiti di matematica necessari per poter seguire gli esami del Corso di Studi. La Commissione d'Esame è nominata dal Consiglio del Corso di Studi.

Enrolment

The Degree Program in Techniques for mechanics and production 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.

Three separate sessions selection  are planned

I session selection deadlines: from the 2nd of May 2025 until the 31st of May 2025 H. 23.59

37 places for EU and equated non EU citizens

3 places for non EU citizens residing abroad and applying for VISA (1 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 the session application deadline:

  2. You will have to upload a scanned copy of your Identity Document and a passport-sized photograph
  3. Once you entered your personal area, please select “Secretariat” and then “Admission Test”
  4. 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 obtained in the Mathematics section

The tests will consist of a multiple choice test with a total number of 30 questions, each with several possible answers, one of which is correct, divided into several sections:

• Mathematics – 10 questions – time available: 30 minutes
• Logic – 10 questions – time available: 30 minutes
• Verbal comprehension – 10 questions – time available: 30 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 4 points in the Mathematics section. Unsuitable candidates are not included in the ranking.
