- what are the deadlines for meeting the requirement;
- how the requirement can be met. This page shows the procedures common to all degree programmes; any additional procedures are shown in the relevant Call for admissions.
Verification of the language requirement

The certification document must be attached, front and back, within the procedure. Those who have taken the test and have not yet received the certificate may present the provisional statement of results issued by the certifying body.
The only certifications accepted are those listed below, with reference to the minimum scores that vary for degree programmes and study tracks delivered in Italian or English.
Alternative 2
Degree programme title delivered entirely in English

Proof of qualification must be provided by submitting, as per procedures and deadlines specified in the Call for admissions, a self-certification with examinations or the diploma supplement issued by the university where it was obtained.
If the qualification (submitted for the sole purpose of passing the language requirement) was obtained abroad, also the Transcript of Records and the final diploma of achievement are required.
In all cases, the degree programme language must be explicitly stated in the documentation. Otherwise, an official document issued by the university stating the language of the course must be attached.
