The Placement Test is aimed at:
to students enrolled in the 1st year of the degree course in Biomolecular and Industrial Biotechnology (matrix N75) for the verification of knowledge of the English language, level B1; to students enrolled in the LM in Molecular and Industrial Biotechnology (matrix N80) to ascertain the linguistic skills required to be admitted to the CdS (comparable to level B2).
Where and when does the Placement Test take place?
The Placement Test takes place in the computer rooms of the University structures. Typically the Placement Test takes place in the computer rooms of the Department of Biology.
