HUMAT Test 2027: Full Topic List (Syllabus)
The HUMAT has 60 questions, 10 in each of Scientific Thinking, Academic Literacy, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Every topic it covers is on Humanitas's own Syllabi 2027, posted on its Apply page on 1 October 2026 and quoted here in full: 139 lines, from 18 in Scientific Thinking and 5 in Academic Literacy to 31 in Mathematics.
All 139 topics of Humanitas University's official topic list, in its own words, each with what to know, the IvyTest lessons that teach it and the questions of our free sample test that test it. Tick a topic off when you have it; your ticks stay in this browser.
Based on "Syllabi 2027", dated 1 October 2026, the list Humanitas University's entrance-exam page still links (checked 30 October 2026). The official wording is quoted as printed; the notes and links are IvyTest's.
Before you start
How to use this list
Humanitas posted Syllabi 2027, the topics for the 2027 tests, before the 2027/28 call; its 2026/27 call put the programme in its Annex A, and Syllabi 2027 changes some science topics against it but not the subjects or the format. The PDF divides each subject into numbered sections with bullet points under them and does not number the bullets, so each section is a group here and each bullet one topic, numbered in the PDF's order and quoted as printed. Academic Literacy has no sections: its page sets out the texts ("CEFR level: C1 and above (text and items)", "adapted from real-world sources, about scientific topics", "approximately 700 words") and then five abilities tested, which are its topics. Humanitas says the test's objective "is not to evaluate previous knowledge, but to measure the skills and abilities relevant to undertaking highly scientific courses of study", so the science lines are what a question can draw on, not a list to recite. Work through a section at a time: read the note, learn it from the lesson, then check yourself on the practice paper's questions before you tick it.
The lessons are part of the Humanitas University Complete Admissions System and open for students who have it; a lesson marked "members" links to the Humanitas University guide, which says what it includes.

What's not on the test
Topics Annex A of the 2026/27 EU call named and Syllabi 2027 does not: photosynthesis and chromosome maps in Biology; in Chemistry Boyle's and Charles's laws by name (Physics still lists the ideal gas laws), empirical and molecular formulae, the classification and nomenclature of hydrocarbons and the main functional groups, so organic chemistry is only C–C bonds, structural formulae and isomerism; in Mathematics simple permutations and combinations, the areas, perimeters, surface areas and volumes of polygons and solids, and isometries, similarities and equivalences.
The ellipse and the hyperbola get a "brief mention", "without full treatment", in the syllabus's own words. There is no general culture section: the test is the six subjects above, and no calculator is allowed.
