Prerequisites for admission
With reference to the Didactic Regulations (art.20), To access the second year, it is essential to have achieved at least four exams of which:
- biological, physiological and morphological sciences
- linguistic, philosophical and socio-pedagogical sciences
- applied speech therapy sciences: propaedeutic

The student must also have passed the first year traineeship exam.
Assessment methods and Criteria
Learning assessment will take place through a written test with multiple choice questions. The duration of the planned test is approximately 100 minutes.
The evaluation criteria will be the acquisizion of the essential knowledge relating to the discipline.
The assessment of learning will be expressed in thirtieths., calculated on the basis of the weighted average of the results obtained in each module based on the ECTS. The results of the tests will be communicated to the students through the publication on VWEB, the prospectus of the marks acquired in the individual modules will also be sent to the secretary.
