Course description
Limited entry by written multiple-choice exam, which tests English, Italian (grammar and style) as well as Italian-English-Italian translation, knowledge of Geography and History. Maximum 150 places including 15 places for non-EU students. Exceptionally for the year 2020 the test was based on school results. Check on the website for updates.
Prerequisites for the entrance exam are secondary school certification or equivalent. Students will be tested at a B2 level for English, and C2 level for Italian. Non-Italian students will be tested with an oral exam and will be expected to have a minimum of a B2 level. Students may enter the course even if their level is not fully at the levels expected if there are still places available. In this case they will have to pass an “OFA” exam in their area(s) of weakness within the 1st year. For further information see the admission test regulations (bando).
