For admission to the curriculum taught in English, in addition to the entrance test above described, minimum B2-level previous knowledge of English is required, and must be attested by an international certification recognized as valid by the University, or an equivalent certification issued by the University’s Language Centre (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo), or by another University upon passing a B2-level exam.
The student may not sit any credit-bearing exam, even in the first year of the course, before presenting the above-described certification.
For the extra-UE students the first level courses in Economics and Banking and in Economic and Management are restricted-access programmes: this means that extra-UE students, in whatever system they have been educated, must satisfy specific admission requirements (I) and pass an entrance exam (II) in order to enroll.
Only those students meeting the admission criteria and passing the exam described in the following documents will be admitted to the course, in a number within the quota set by the Ministry.
