CENT-S

To enrol in this programme, you are required to take a mandatory assessment test called CENT-S, organised by CISIA (Interuniversity Consortium for Integrated Access Systems). This test assesses your knowledge in some scientific subjects (e.g. mathematics). 

The test is not selective. This means that enrollment is possible with any score. If you get a score that is less of 18 you will be assigned additional learning activities to help you close any serious knowledge gap (see below PASSING THE TEST). To take the CENT-S test, you must register via the CISIA website.

Who needs to take the test?

The CENT-S test is mandatory for enrollment, but is not selective. The scores will be used to assign support teaching activites.

You do not have to take the test if you already possess a bachelor or master degree.

Structure of the test

The test consists of 55 questions, divided into 5 sections:

• Mathematics
• Reasoning on texts and data
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics

Passing the test

The test is not selective. If you totalize a score of less than 18 points, you will be assigned an Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) and you you will have to attend first-year tutoring activities. The Additional Learning Requirements is fulfilled by attending at least 50% of the tutoring activities.
