Intermediate level of English language knowledge. Certifications are not required;
-
English language proficiency will be assessed during the Admission Test;

High school Diploma, with at least 12 years of schooling.
/ GENERAL ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
The qualification must be awarded after a period of schooling of at least 12 years. It also must allow access to Universities in the country where issued and to a course similar to that chosen in Italy.
In case of qualifications obtained in less than 12 years of schooling, the student can provide:
-
academic transcripts certifying the passing of all the exams foreseen for the first year of university studies;
-
An official Italian or foreign post-secondary study qualification obtained in a non-university higher education institution in a subject related to the chosen course;
-
Certificates from other Italian universities regarding the completion of a foundation course;
-
Certificates awarded in-house relating to the passing of foundation courses
/ ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPECIFIC COUNTRIES
Students holding a High School Diploma (HSD) who have passed at least three US “Advanced Placements” (APs) with a score from 3 to 5, in three different subjects and related to the University course selected can be enrolled in the first academic year.
The holding of an “AP” in Italian will be a mandatory requirement only for students with foreign citizenship. An “AP” in Italian will not be acceptable in the case of students with Italian citizenship or in the case of enrolment in courses taught entirely in English.
Students in possession of a High School Diploma which is followed and supplemented by a complete year of subsequent academic study can also be enrolled.
SAT/ACT exams are not considered for admission purposes;
The GED Diploma (General Educational Development) does not allow access to higher education in Italy
The final qualifications called General Certificate of Education (GCE) and International General Certificate of Education (IGCE), issued by official certification bodies of the United Kingdom, allow enrolment if they certify that at least three subjects have been passed at an advanced level (A level) relevant to the course of study requested, with at least a minimum grade (passing grade).
The presence of an A level in Italian will be required only for students with foreign citizenship, therefore it cannot be counted as part of the three A levels required in the case of students with Italian citizenship or in the case of enrolment in courses taught entirely in English.
A combination of 3 different subjects can also be evaluated between A-level and Cambridge Pre-U Principal Subjects. The Cambridge Pre-U Diploma, composed of 3 Principal Subjects + Global Perspective and Research, can be evaluated by institutions of higher education as an alternative to the 3 A levels for access to first cycle degrees.
It is understood that the presence of an A level or a Pre-U Principal Subject in Italian will be requested only for students with foreign citizenship, so it cannot be counted as part of those required in the case of students with Italian citizenship or in the case of enrolment in courses taught entirely in English.
The Diploma of the International Baccalaureate allows access to higher education in Italy as long as the final qualification, issued by an educational institution recognised by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), meets the following general requirements:
-
at least 24 points in six subjects of choice, 12 of which must be obtained at “Higher Level”;
-
pass awarded in the three principal subjects: Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) e Extended Essay (EE)
