Is it necessary to learn a European language for studying in Italy or other European countries?
It depends on your program's language of instruction.
- English-taught programs: You usually do not need to know the local language for academics, but you must prove English proficiency (such as IELTS).
- Local language programs: If your course is taught in Italian (or another local language), you must demonstrate proficiency, typically at the B2 level.
- Daily life: Even if not required for your studies, learning the local language is highly recommended for daily living, social integration, and job opportunities.
Check your chosen university’s requirements and consider learning basic Italian to enhance your experience.
