University of Bologna CEnT-S & SAT Admission Requirements 2026/2027

Pharmacy – Rimini Admission Requirements

Pharmacy (Rimini campus, a five-year single-cycle master's degree) is verified for the Non-EU Residing Abroad category.

This page avoids a blanket statement like "the University of Bologna does not accept SAT" — SAT is explicitly accepted for Genomics. This SAT status is specific to the Pharmacy – Rimini record only.

This creates a notable contrast with Politecnico di Milano: PoliMi's verified record excludes Biology and Chemistry from its conversion, while Bologna Pharmacy counts all five sections.

This is not a general "engineering programmes count fewer sections, pharmacy programmes count all sections" rule — it is only a comparison of these two verified records.

• Admission type: Restricted Access
• Application round: General
• Score rule: Competitive Ranking basis
• Non-EU Abroad places: 40

"Competitive Ranking basis" does not mean a specific minimum score; this page does not invent or publish a numerical CEnT-S threshold for this rule. The figure of 40 is the quota reserved specifically for this Non-EU Abroad record — it should not be read as the programme's total capacity.

Pharmacy – Rimini requires CEnT-S to be taken @UNI.

The verified record explicitly requires the CEnT-S to be taken in person, on a university campus, for security and standardization reasons.

This should not be generalized as "@HOME is invalid for the University of Bologna" — the statement applies specifically to the Pharmacy – Rimini admission record described here.

Genomics Admission Requirements

Genomics (Bologna campus, bachelor's degree) is verified for the Non-EU Residing Abroad category and the First Intake application round.

• Admission type: Restricted Access
• Application round: First Intake
• Score rule: Competitive Ranking basis

This is specific to the represented 2026/27 Non-EU Abroad / First Intake record; this page does not automatically generalize it to any other possible Genomics application round — the structured data does not include a separate record for one.

Genomics First Intake = SAT

Verified rule: SAT is mandatory during the First Intake round, and scoring is carried out on a Competitive Ranking basis.

This page does not invent:

• a minimum total SAT score,
• a minimum SAT Math score,
• a guaranteed SAT score,
• a historical cut-off score.

No numerical SAT threshold is specified in the verified record.

Why Doesn't One "Accepted Test" List Work for the Same University?

A single university-level boolean — such as "Bologna = CEnT-S YES" — is incomplete. The meaningful admission unit is Programme + Applicant Category + Application Round. This is also the underlying methodology of the University Finder above: results are listed by programme and applicant category, not by university.

Why Competitive Ranking Instead of a Minimum Score?

Both the Pharmacy – Rimini and Genomics records carry Restricted Access status, and scoring is carried out on a Competitive Ranking basis — rather than a fixed official minimum, applicants are ranked from the highest score down until the available places are filled.

This page does not publish estimated "safe scores" or cut-offs, and does not say things like "any positive CEnT-S score is enough for Pharmacy" or "a given SAT score guarantees Genomics."
