Only candidates deemed eligible (i.e., who achieve a minimum score of 18\/30) will be listed in the published rankings. <br\/> <br\/>Note: Being eligible does not guarantee admission, as the number of places available per instrument varies each Academic Year. <br\/> <br\/>The final score (out of 30) is a weighted average: <br\/>\u00b7 30% from theoretical tests <br\/>\u00b7 70% from practical tests To be included in the final average, candidates must score at least 15\/30 in both theory and practice tests. <br\/> <br\/>Admission exams will take place on July 11 and 12, 2025. Results will be published on the Siena Jazz website within five days after the exams. <br\/>Following the publication of the rankings, the administrative office will send instructions to admitted candidates on how to pay the first instalment. Enrolment must be completed within the specified deadline (usually 10 days after the rankings are published). Candidates who fail to pay the first instalment within the deadline will be considered to have forfeited their place, and the spot will be offered to the next eligible candidate on the list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":18862,"menu_order":2,"template":"","class_list":["post-18864","university","type-university","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Admission Exam - Siena Jazz<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sienajazz.it\/en\/university\/bachelors-degree-courses\/admission-exam\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Admission Exam - Siena Jazz\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"WRITTEN TESTS: PRACTICAL TEST: Candidates are required to prepare five pieces selected from the following categories: The pieces listed above are examples and not an exhaustive list.
