Intake 2026/27–2027/28

Bachelor's degrees in English

118 English-taught 3-year programmes (Laurea Triennale). Many Engineering, Economics / Business and science tracks require the CISIA CEnT-S test. Medicine / Dentistry / Veterinary are under Single-cycle / Medicine.

CEnT-S (CISIA English Test – Sciences)

CEnT-S admission test

CEnT-S is the unified CISIA English admission test for many English-taught bachelor (and some single-cycle scientific) programmes in Italy. From November 2025 it replaces the old English TOLC types (English TOLC-I, English TOLC-E, English TOLC-F) for Engineering, Economics, Pharmacy, and other scientific fields taught mainly in English.

Who needs it: Students applying to English-taught first-cycle degrees in Engineering, Economics / Business / Management, Pharmacy, Biotechnology / Biology, and many other science programmes where the university call requires CEnT-S. It is NOT the Medicine test — Medicine / Dentistry / Veterinary use IMAT. Politecnico di Torino engineering programmes use TIL-I instead of CEnT-S.

Book CEnT-S on the CISIA portal (you can sit at any participating venue, not only your target university). Apply separately on each university portal / call. Some universities use only selected sections (for example Mathematics + Reasoning). Always read the programme admission notice.

Fee €55 · 55 questions · 110 minutes · CEnT@UNI — in a university classroom; CEnT@HOME — remotely (online proctored).

Macro-periods

  • · November – January (1st macro-period)
  • · February – March (2nd macro-period)

  • · September – October (4th macro-period)

You see raw correct / incorrect / blank counts immediately. The final normalised score appears in the CISIA Student Area only at the end of the macro-period (by 30 Jan / 31 Mar / 30 Jun / 30 Oct depending on period). One attempt per macro-period; you may sit again in later periods.

Exceptions

  • · Politecnico di Torino English engineering bachelor programmes → TIL-I (not CEnT-S)
  • · Medicine / Dentistry / Veterinary English single-cycle → IMAT via Universitaly
  • · Some humanities / law / psychology English tracks may use different selection rules — confirm the call
