9 August 2018 / in News / by

To be admitted to one of the free-access degree courses of the Università degli Studi di Torino, you must have an adequate preparation. The Test for the Assessment of  Minimum Requirements (TARM) will assess your preparation.

In the dedicated page (pagina dedicata) of the University website you can find information about the Test for the Assessment of Minimum Requirements, which is the same for all free-access courses starting from the 2018/19 academic year. The information is constantly updated, therefore check the page frequently.

What is TARM?

Enrolment in all free-access courses requires you to take the TARM.

Starting from the 2018-2019 academic year, the TARM will be the only test required to all aspiring first-year students of a free-access Bachelor or Full-cycle degree programme, that is, all programmes which don’t require an entrance test or a limited number of students.

The TARM will be taken only once in the University, even if you fail it. Those who already took it in May 2018 and failed, must take it again starting from September 2018.

 

Tarm Unito

[Applications & Enrolment. How is TARM structured: 55 questions in 6 sections. 20 – reading comprehension; 10 – Italian language; 10 – Maths; 5 – humanities general knowledge; 5 – scientific general knowledge; 5 – law, economics and social general knowledge. 100 minutes to answer. Be a part of the UNITO generation].

 

The test is aimed to assess different skills. It is made up of six sections and 55 multiple-choice questions (as shown above) to be answered in maximum 100 minutes.

The minimum threshold to pass is 30/55.

  • If you pass the test (marking at least 30 correct answers) you will be able to proceed with the enrolment (immatricolazione). After the enrolment, you will be able to fill out the study programme starting from October in order to take the exams in the first available session.
  • If you fail the test (scoring less than 30), you will be able to proceed with the enrolment (immatricolazione), starting from the third working day after taking the test, but you will be given OFAs (Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi – Additional Formative Obligations) which are a part of the Passport.U programme.
    Passport.U is an online programme, aimed to help students to know soft skills, to acknowledge their own soft skills and develop them. At the end of the self-assessment, you may receive an individual feedback, from which the programme will propose self reflection  activities, lectures and lessons, online exercises, videos and more.
    The OFAs are dropped when the programme of personal soft-skill enhancement is completed. Then you can fill out the study program, starting from October. If you don’t attend the course, you will not be able to fill out the study program and take exams.
  • For those who scored between 30 and 40, the online programme Passport.U is still advised.
