Admission and enrolment

Your knowledge of mathematics will be tested during the TOLC-E or English TOLC-E entry test – candidates who do not achieve a minimum score of 6 out of 13 in the mathematics section will be assigned an Additional Learning Requirement – ALR (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo – OFA).

Candidates who passed a SAT test with a score of 535 or more out of 800 in the “SAT Math” or a GMAT test with a score of 42 or more out of 60 in the “GMAT Quantitative” are exempted from the Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) in Mathematics.

If you enrol obtaining credit recognition for at least 3 CFU in the mathematics filed you will be exempt from the Mathematics OFA.

If you have been assigned the mathematics OFA, you will not be allowed to take any business, economics, and mathematics-statistics exams until its fulfillment.

If you do not fulfill the OFA by September 30th, 2026, you will not be allowed to take any exams included in your study plan until its fulfillment.

To get more information about how to fulfill the mathematics OFA, please consult the dedicated section on the Study page.

A minimum B2-level knowledge of English is mandatory for enrolment. You can demonstrate your English knowledge level by submitting one of the recognised certifications or if you fall within one of the exemption categories listed on the language requirement webpage.

You may enrol in a Degree Programme requesting accreditation for the following previous studies and training activities:

• Bachelor's Degrees or Master's Diplomas;
• incomplete University studies as a result of withdrawal, lapsed status;
• single courses;
• Internship/traineeships/previous employment;
• simultaneous enrolment.

The year of enrolment is determined on the basis of the number of University Credits (CFU) you have been awarded:

• Up to 47 CFU: admission to the 1st year. You have to register to the Ca’ Foscari selection and sit the entry test. You will refer to the study plan for the a.y. 2025/2026.
• From 48 CFU: you must request admission to the 2nd or 3rd year of this bachelor's degree programme. Therefore, consult the communication at the top of this webpage.

Credits will be recognised according to the Linee guida per riconoscimento CFU [ITA] (CFU Recognition Guidelines).

Activities recognised through a completed Master's degrees or Master's diplomas will not affect the final grade. However, activities recognised from single courses or from an incomplete university career resulting from withdrawal, expiration, or transfer will be taken into account for grade point average.

Enrolment with credit recognition is subject to the fee payment of 300.00 euros: the payment invoice will be provided upon confirmation of enrolment.

You are not obliged to pay if you request credit recognition from activities undertaken previously at Ca' Foscari (for example single courses) if the code of the lectures corresponds to that required by the study plan. In the case that some lectures do not fall among those included in the study plan, and consequently are listed among those that can be chosen by the student, you will have to pay the 300.00 euros fee.

Enrolment with credit recognition is not allowed to students concurrently enrolled in another University degree programme and for which suspension has been requested.

Students cannot request an intra-university or inter-university transfer for admission to the first year. If you have been recognised with fewer than 48 CFU, you must register for the Ca' Foscari selection and sit the entry test. If you are admitted, you will be required to withdraw from your current degree programme and proceed with a new enrolment.

You are required to upload the following documents:

• a signed self-certification form listing exams. Please indicate for each exam: the name of the Course of study and class code, the name of the University, the name of the courses taken with their academic fields and disciplines sector and relative weight in CFU (ECTS), the mark and the exam date. This document might be available in your University Reserved Area: if it is not available or, if all the required data is not listed, you may use the forms on this page;
• any exam syllabus in your possession.
