Admissions conditions

Knowledge of the language:
Verification of the linguistic ability: This exam is organized by each univesity at the beginning of September. The only possibility of being exempt from the exams is if you have a second level certificate of Italian language (CILS or CILE) awarded by the University of Siena or Perouse.

Diploma Equivalence:
Generally for foreign students to apply to an Italian university, they must have a valid qualification that would allow them to attend a university in the country where they were awarded the certificate (as long as the certificate was awarded after a minimum of 12 years of secondary education). Italy also has some bilateral agreements with other countries that agrees on a reciprocal equivalence of qualifications.
Every university supplies the Foreign Office with information on the terms and conditions for recognizing and evaluating diplomas.
The Information Center for Mobility and Academic Equivalences (CIMEA) is
a member of the Italian network NARIC - National Academic Recognition Information Center - and the ENIC network of Council Europe and UNESCO.
The Information Service can be contacted by post. It is also possible to contact them by telephone or to organize an meeting.
