Hi Biswajit, thank you for your query.

The University of Bologna is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world, and its Bachelor of Economics program is ranked 84th in the Tilburg Ranking. The program is taught entirely in English and is open to both Italian and international students.

Answering your question, to apply for the Bachelor of Economics program at the University of Bologna, you must first submit an online application. Considering your case - you have not studied Maths in your Class 12 examinations, you might be asked to fulfill the OFA. OFA is an Italian acronym that stands for “Additional Learning Requirements”. This makes sure that the students do not have any pronounced deficits in subjects that must have been thoroughly grasped, due to the very nature of the degree program. The minimum thresholds for fulfilling the OFA are

1. SAT - A student must have passed the requirement of a minimum score range of <500/800.
2. English TOLC-E - The TOLC (Test On Line CISIA) is a test administered online at the University of Bologna and a student must have a score of <4,5/13.

It must be noted that the OFA does not affect your selection at the University of Bologna. Even if you are asked to fulfil the OFA, you can still be eligible for the course, get selected and start your course of study given that you qualify for the Calculus and Linear Algebra exam which is held under OFA and consists of Mathematics, Economics and English. The test has to be taken before the 1st-semester exam of the program.

You must also have completed your higher secondary with good grades. Apply for the course on the university website before the deadline. Submit the required documents like LOR, Resume/CV, SOP, and academic transcripts. After applying wait for the offer letter and pay the fees.

Once you have completed this, apply for a student visa, meet the requirements and you are good to fly !!
