Language Requirements

Non-EU students enrolling in the first year of a bachelor's degree must hold a certificate of Italian at level B2, or B1 if they come from an East Asian country. This does not apply to holders of an upper secondary school diploma in an EU language.

  • Accepted certificates: CILS (Università per Stranieri di Siena), CELI (Università per Stranieri di Perugia), CERTIT (Roma Tre) and PLIDA (Società Dante Alighieri)
  • Without a certificate: CILSSU test, and Italian courses at the CLUSS centre until the required level is reached
