Entry requirements

Non-EU candidates interested in this curriculum must demonstrate a B2 level of proficiency in Italian or an equivalent certification. Those applying for a degree program taught entirely in Italian are required to prove their language skills by passing an Italian language test.

The test will be organized by CISIA, in collaboration with the University of Pavia. For information on dates and registration procedures, please refer to the website on this page.
