Language requirements for France and Italy depend on the program's language of instruction.
France:
- French-taught programs: Most require at least B2 level French (DELF B2, DALF C1, TCF, or TEF).
- English-taught programs: Usually need B2 level English (IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent).
Italy:
- Italian-taught programs: Non-EU students typically need B2 level Italian (CELI 3, CILS DUE, CERTIT, or PLIDA).
- English-taught programs: Generally require B2 level English (IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent).
Some universities may accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate. Requirements vary by institution and are subject to change.
