• at least 180 registered credits in career with a weighted average of at least 26/30 
• knowledge of English at C1 level, equivalent to: TOEFL with a score of at least of 90 (recommended 90-100) or IELTS Academic module with a minimum score of 6,5 (recommended 7,0). Correspondence table in the Useful Links). 

The agreement provides for the possibility for UniTrento students to obtain, at the end of two semesters of mobility at MSU at a reduced rate, also the American title of LL.M, valid in the States for passing the BAR exam for legal practice in some states.

In Italy and abroad, a double degree is always an added value. Not only experts say it, it is enough to browse through the job offers to realize that companies and organizations are looking for international profiles and open-minded, able to work in multicultural teams and to face ever new global challenges.
Moreover, you can attend an American degree course with a reduction of 50% on the tuition fees.
MSU College of Law has an open door policy and professors are always available to let you in and talk with you.
The cooperation also includes the possibility for graduates of the five-year degree to continue their studies at the Michigan State University College of Law in the Advanced (two-year) JD program with reduced tuition (for more information contact Prof. Corrado Malberti).
You can watch a video testimonial from a UniTrento student in the useful links.

The title of LL.M. is obtained after a year of study at MSU and certifies knowledge, at master level, of the law of the United States of America. The LL.M. is a title appreciated in the legal professions market and by Italian and foreign employers, as, among other things, it proves that a student has been able to complete a course of study in legal subjects completely in English in a law school in the United States of America. The achievement of the title of LL.M. at a university accredited by the American Bar Association also allows you to participate in the Bar Exam and therefore, potentially, to practice law in some American states including New York and California, in compliance with the criteria established in each state (see the BAR admission guide in the Useful Links).
