International Studies and European Institutions (Classe L-36)-Enrolled from 2014/15 Academic Year

Applicants to the Bachelor's degree programme in International Studies and European Institutions are required to hold an upper secondary-school diploma, or other equivalent international diploma. Students must also have a skillset and knowledge base allowing them to successfully complete the study programme. More specifically, a basic knowledge in the area of language and communication, as well as logic and mathematics, is required.

Candidates are likewise required to prove English language proficiency at a B2 level (or higher) under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

In order to ensure educational quality standards in relation to available resources, pursuant to art. 2 of Law 264/1999, enrolment on the degree programme is capped to 400 students, plus a quota of 20 non-EU students residing abroad.

Admission to the programme is subject to a mandatory online test delivered by CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems): TOLC-E.
The candidate's educational background will be assessed through the admission test. Applicants must achieve the minimum scores set forth in the call for applications for the three areas of the TOLC-E test.

Two admission sessions will be held - one in the spring for 220 places, and one in the summer for 180 places, and any remaining places from the spring session.

Logic-mathematics and verbal comprehension additional learning requirements (OFA)
Students admitted with a lower score in one or more of these areas will have to fulfil additional learning requirements (OFA), within the first year of the programme. The University offers specific training activities to help students meet additional learning requirements. Further information is available on the University portal in the Study area of the Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences (SPES).
Students who do not fulfil these requirements within the deadline will not be able to take any exams for years following year I.

English-language OFA - Proficiency level B2
In order to take the English language exam required by the study plan, students must be proficient in English at a B2 level under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This proficiency level may be certified as follows:
- Through a language certificate, earned within three years prior to the date of submission, at a B2 level or higher (for the list of language certificates recognised by the University, please review: https://www.unimi.it/it/node/297/). The certificate must be uploaded when enrolling, or later to the portal http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- Through a Placement Test, which is delivered by the University Language Centre (SLAM) during year I only, from October to December. Students who fail the test will be required to take a SLAM course.
The Placement Test is mandatory for all students who do not hold a valid certificate.
Those who do not sit the Placement Test by December, or who fail to pass the end-of-course test within six attempts, must obtain a paid certificate by the programme year contemplated for their exam in English.
