Language requirements
Italian requirements
Yes, but only for undergraduate or 5-6-year postgraduate degree programs with free admission taught in Italian, if you are a non-EU applicant residing abroad (visa applicant).
An Italian language certificate of at least B2 level, issued in the last three years, released by bodies recognized within the CLIQ system.
On Apply@UniTo and/or Universitaly, by the Universitaly pre-enrolment deadline for your program.
The International Students Office can validate pre-enrolment for visa purposes only if the certificate is uploaded correctly within the deadline.
Yes: CISIA ITA-L2, if obtained in the last three years at another Italian university with a minimum score of 50/72.
For information on exemptions, see the “Language requirements” section of the MUR Circular "Procedure for entry, residency and enrolment of international students and the respective recognition of qualifications for higher education courses in Italy".
English requirements
Some postgraduate degree programs required a B2 or C1 English certificate. You can search for your program on Apply@UniTo and then read the specific language requirements section. As an alternative, some programs also accept a certificate issued by your university attesting your bachelor studies were carried out in English language.
If the program of your interest requires a certificate (see previous question), the certificates accepted are:
- Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE)
- Certificate in Advanced English (CAE)
- Cambridge First Certificate of English (FCE)
- PTE Academic
- IELTS
- TOEFL iBT
- Trinity College ISE II.
To see the minimum score required, search for your program on Apply@UniTo and then read the specific language requirements section.
No, it never is. If the certification you hold is not on the list of English language certifications required by your degree program, it means that is not accepted.
