Admission test for the A.Y. 2018/2019 Example 


English language test

The test will be followed by an English language knowledge test.

This is mandatory, but its result shall not influence scores for admission to the degree course.

The aim of the test is to assess the level of knowledge of the English language. Students who have language certificates such as First Certificate, CAE, TOEFL and Proficiency are still required to sit the test.

The test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. The test lasts 45 minutes. The candidates must remain in the test venue until completion of the two tests: test + English language test. The two tests will be held in the same session.

The results will be published on the Psychology Department website (www.psicologia.unito.it).

The students enrolled according to the result obtained will be entered into one of the following two levels:

Level 1 – Level 1 language course 
The language course is annual with compulsory attendance. The programme is strictly linguistic and grammatical at Beginners/Elementary level (roughly corresponding to level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Students will take an assessment test during the course. The following year the students must attend the 2nd level language course.

Level 2 – Level 2 language course
The language course is annual with compulsory attendance. The programme is strictly linguistic and grammatical up to Pre-Intermediate level (indicatively corresponding to a level between A1 and B2 of the descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). Students will take an assessment test during the course. The following year students must attend the English language course.

The course does not require compulsory attendance. Consult the pages related to the three-year bachelor’s degree programme for information on the programmes, exam formats and credits attributed.
