International opportunities for students

Candidates may prove English language knowledge proficiency by providing one of the recognised certificates listed at CLA (language center of the University of Trento) webpage at least at level B2 CEFR and not older than 5 years.

If you do not hold any of the certifications listed in the link above you may prove English language proficiency as follows:

  • language certification at level B2 issued by a certification body or university (e.g. transcript of records of previous academic career stating that you have passed an English language examination at the level required, provided all four abilities - reading, writing, speaking and listening - have been tested)
  • transcript of records of previous academic career stating that you have passed an English language examination at the level required, provided all four abilities (reading, writing, speaking and listening) have been tested.
  • copy of a Bachelor or a Master degree under a programme whose courses were entirely taught in English; the certificate must clearly state that the language of instruction was English;
  • self-declaration of being a citizen of a country where the official language is English (declare it in the online application);

Italian, EU and non EU candidates living in Italy who do not have any of the language certifications listed in the table mentioned above can demonstrate English language proficiency at level B2 through a language test organised by the Language Centre of University of Trento (see below). 

Candidates also need to have a basic knowledge of Italian. Candidates who are non-native speakers of Italian and who are admitted to the interview, will hold part of the interview in Italian. If the level of Italian is considered insufficient by the Selection Committe, the candidate, if admitted to the course, will have to include a course taught in Italian in his/her study plan.

English language tests organized by the University of Trento

EU citizens and non EU citizens resident in Italy, who do not fulfill the language requirement, can also sit an English language test offered by the University of Trento.
The tests will be held in presence in spring 2024 (dates to be announced). Further information will be published on this page.
