What level of English do I need for English-taught programmes at the University of Genoa?

For English-taught programmes at the University of Genoa, you need English at CEFR B2 level. You can show this with an IELTS or TOEFL score that meets B2, or a medium of instruction letter if your earlier degree was taught in English. Italian is not needed for these courses.

Accepted proof of English

Documents to prepare

• Transcripts, with translation or certification where required for some courses or applicants, and a valid passport copy
• Language proficiency proof (IELTS, TOEFL or medium of instruction letter)
• Statement of purpose for some courses (often master's and PhD), and recommendation letters if the course asks
• Updated CV and a passport-size photo
• Pre-enrolment form via Universitaly, for the courses and applicants where it applies

My Advice

Check your IELTS or TOEFL score against the B2 level before you apply, and confirm the exact minimum on the course page. If your degree was taught in English, request the medium of instruction letter early, because colleges can take a few weeks to issue it.
