Students are required to upload an International English Language Certificate, assessing at least B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference issued by a recognised Institution in the language section of the application, unless they belong to one of the categories exempt from the International Language Certificate, listed in the section below.
The reason for this is twofold: to select qualified students who can successfully function in their selected degree programmes; and to ensure that the Italian Consular Authorities are positively impressed by students applying to our university. Due to the large increase in study visa applications, they tend to consider students with an International English Language Certificate in a more positive light.
Students can apply without an International English Language Certificate, but their application might be considered incomplete. In this case, the applicants will have 30 days to provide the required certificate.
