Italian language for foreigners tests and courses

Candidates holding a foreign Bachelor’s degree must prove Italian proficiency at level B1 in order to be admitted to the Master’s degree. Those who have a language certificate among the ones accepted by the University of Milan have to submit it through the online admission procedure. To be considered valid, the certificate must have been issued in the last three years and the level attained must be equal to or higher than B1 under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Those who do not have a language certificate must sit an entry test, which is organised by SLAM - University of Milan Language Centre.

Students are exempt from the Italian entry-level test if:

  • they submit a language certificate, at level B1 or higher, through the online admission procedure
  • they obtained level B1 or higher in a SLAM test during a Bachelor’s degree programme attended at our University. Only levels obtained in the last four years are considered valid, based on the language assessment date appearing on the student’s academic records.
