Criteria for assessment of applications
Assessment of applications will be carried out by the Teaching Committee and ratified at the first available Course Council meeting.
The Committee will assess the individual applications mainly with reference to the following criteria:
the congruity of the teaching syllabus of the examinations taken at the university of origin;
the number of university credits (ECTS credits) acquired or equivalent (ECTS or equivalent as dictated by the regulations of the country of origin);
the number of examinations taken and relative marks obtained;
the verification, with respect to the examinations taken by the student at the university of origin, of the prerequisites and blocks dictated by the Regulations of the degree course in Orthoptics and Ophthalmological Assistance.
In the event of potentially acceptable applications exceeding the availability of places, a ranking will be drawn up and taken into consideration:- for transfers from the same degree course from Italian universities, the highest total number of examinations taken and the highest weighted average at the time of application (if students are still tying, the younger will be selected);
- for transfers from foreign universities* (EU or non-EU) the highest number of ECTS achieved (if students are still tying, the younger will be selected);
- for equivalences, the highest degree attainment mark (if students are still tying, the younger will be selected).
*the foreign universities of origin must be accredited by the relevant national authority to deliver a degree course of the same name.
