Foundation Programme Project

Foundation programme

The University of Turin has launched an educational program, named “Foundation Programme”, with the aim of supporting international students from countries where the global schooling, preceding the enrolment in universities, consists in less than 12 years. The program is also useful to prepare the TARM (Test for the Assessment of Minimum Requirements) or the Admission Tests for the programmes with limited enrolment.

 

One of the main features of the programme is the delivery of online classes, except for the final exam that will be held at the University of Turin. This procedure allows to reduce expenses and students will have the opportunity to attend the course remotely following their own personal work pace.

Study Program

The Foundation Programme offered by the University of Turin provides two different study options entirely held in Italian:

60 ECTS (=CFU)
  • Italian Language and Culture (core) - 20 ECTS;
  • Italian Literature and History (core) - 10 ECTS;
  • Mathematical Language and Problem Solving (core) - 10 ECTS;
  • 2 courses up to students’ choice among:
    • Cinema and Music - 10 ECTS;
    • Law and Economics - 10 ECTS;
    • Foreign Language and Culture - 10 ECTS;
    • Science - 10 ECTS;

The completion of the 60 ECTS program, together with a High School diploma (obtained in the home country after a minimum of 11 years of schooling), will enable the students to obtain the 12-year-schooling requirement, allowing them to enrol at Italian universities.

The tuition fee for the 60 ECTS program is 2.000 €.

30 ECTS (=CFU)

The 30 ECTS (=CFU) credits program is focused on the learning of the Italian language and culture. It is composed by the first two courses of the 60 ECTS program above-mentioned:

The tuition fee for the 30 ECTS program is 1.300 €.

For both programs, the final exam will be held at the University of Turin. It consists of an interview and a computer-based test.

At the end of the on-line course, having completed the 60 or 30 ECTS, the student will obtain a certificate, to be presented on the day of the final exam.
