Echem test for admission to MD Industrial Chemistry

After the application for admission there is the check of personal skills

The personal skills of each candidate will be ascertained through an interview on topics related to the subjects covered in the fundamental courses of the bachelor's degree in Industrial Chemistry. The interview may also be carried out before graduation (which, for the purpose of registration, has to be achieved by December 31st, 2019), subject to the curricular requirements.
The interview will be conducted by the Commission for Access. The failure of the interview prevents the access to the MSc in Industrial Chemistry for the current year.

The Personal Skill will be verified by the following methods:
a) the European Chemistry Tests granted by the European Chemistry Thematic Network
(http://ectn.eu/committees/virtual-education-community/echemtest/) for the accrual of expertise in Chemistry. The test includes questions, in English, with multiple answers, on topics of the five areas of Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, Industrial  and Physical Chemistry. In order to pass the test, students must answer correctly to at least 16%
of the questions in each of the fivethematic areas. The time allowed to perform the test is 4 hours.
To perform the test, the Candidate will be asked to show a valid identification document.

b ) After passing the test, an interview with the Access Commission will take place on topics related to fundamental aspects of core disciplines of the degree in Industrial Chemistry and to ascertain the knowledge of the English language. The test to verify the personal and language skills is selective even in the case the curricular requirements listed above are recognized; the negative outcome prevents the access for the current year.

For admission in 2019/20 the EchemTest and the interviews to ascertain the curricular requirements and the adequacy of personal skills of candidates will take place on the following dates:

• September 25th, 2019, at 8:30 a.m., at the Sector Academic Via Celoria 20, Milan. The next day at 1:30 p.m. there will be the interview to verify the possession of the curricular requirements and the adequacy of the personal preparation of the candidates that performed the EChemTest.
• December 18th, 2019, at 8.30 a.m., at the office professor Michele Ceotto, Department of Chemistry, Via Golgi, 19 - Milan. The interview to verify the personal preparation of candidates will follow.

About a week before the test you will need to create an account on the Echemtest site, following the instructions that will always be published here.

All candidates, including those expecting to graduate before, december 31st, 2019, are strongly suggested to apply for interview in september.
