Attività di autovalutazione

Attività di autovalutazione con il supporto di CISIA

Grazie alla collaborazione con il CISIA, gli studenti interessati possono già trovare sul portale le Prove di Posizionamento e Simulazione, prove simili, per struttura e difficoltà, ai cosiddetti TOLC (Test OnLine CISIA), i test d’ingresso utilizzati per l’accesso a numerosi corsi di studio universitari. Per un approfondimento sulle potenzialità della piattaforma e delle modalità di utilizzo, vi proponiamo un webinar (cliccando qui di seguito) venerdì 17 novembre 2023 alle ore 15

L’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca aderisce al concorso nazionale “Una settimana da ricercatore 2024”, organizzato da CUSMIBIO, con il supporto di diverse Università italiane e del Progetto nazionale Piano Lauree Scientifiche di Biologia e Biotecnologie.
Il concorso è destinato agli studenti del 3/5 anno della scuola secondaria di secondo grado.

Per i primi classificati del concorso CUSMIBIO del 3/4 anno da graduatoria nazionale, e ad esaurimento della stessa da graduatoria regionale, l’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca mette a disposizione due posti di stage presso due prestigiosi laboratori di ricerca del Dipartimento di Biotecnologie e Bioscienze dell’Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca (Piazza della Scienza 2, Milano). Le spese di trasporto, vitto e alloggio sono a carico dei partecipanti.

Le graduatorie finali sono disponibili al link: https://cusmibio-cosp.unimi.it/concorso-studenti/
