ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's Degree in Physiotherapy, the candidates must have attained an upper secondary school diploma or another qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable. The prerequisites required of students aiming to enrol in the course should include good human contact skills, good teamwork skills, and the ability to analyze and solve problems.
Admission to the course is subject to a programmed number of students in accordance with law n. 264/99 and provides for an admission exam consisting in a test with multiple-choice answers. The student's initial preparation is assessed through the administration of an entrance test, common to all the Department's Health Area Degree Courses, consisting of multiple-choice questions on topics of logic and general culture, chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. The knowledge required for admission, defined annually by the Ministry of Education, is verified by achieving a minimum score in the admission test. Students admitted to the course with a level below the minimum pre-set assessment (at least 40% correct answers in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics) will be assigned additional training obligations (OFA) to be made up within the first year of the course.
For the purpose of allowing the annullment of eventual educational obligations personalised remedial plans will be activated under the responsibility of the teachers in the relevant disciplines. Educational obligations are deemed to have been met by passing the relevant exam. The procedures are governed by the didactic regulations of the Degree Course.
FINAL EXAMINATION
In order to be admitted to the final examination (degree examination), the student must have passed all the examinations, have carried out all the internships and passed all the related examinations.
Per il conseguimento della Laurea lo studente deve superare una prova finale che si compone di:
The final dissertation, includes:
- a practical test in which the students must demonstrate that they have acquired the theoretical-practical and technical-operational knowledge and skills pertaining to the specific professional profile;
- the drafting of a final dissertation, under the guidance of a supervising professor. The dissertation, on topics or disciplines closely related to the professional profile, may have a research, technical-application or compilation profile. A student who fails the practical test cannot be admitted to the dissertation.
Both phases of the final examination will take place in front of a Commission composed in accordance with the Regulations and the Faculty and Degree Course Teaching Regulations. The Degree examination is valid as a state exam qualifying for the profession. The final examination is organised in two nationally defined sessions.
The modality of implementation of the final examination and its timing are defined in the academic calendar, published on the University website and communicated by the Student Administration Office.
