English is a compulsory subject for all Bachelor’s degree programmes at
Politecnico. Undergraduate students are required to pass
the IELTS exam with a
minimum score of 5.0. Alternatively, they should possess an
accepted
certificate at an equivalent or higher level.
If you attend your first year in Italian, you need to get the English
certificate by the end of your first year.The equivalence among different certificates has been established by the
Language Centre of Politecnico (CLA) and it is applicable to all Departments
and Schools. The table of equivalences is available on the
CLA webpage.
You can be exempted from IELTS 5.0 if, upon enrolment, you turn in a stamped
declaration/certificate written on official letterhead, certifying that:
- you have attended at least one
school year at a higher education institute in which the medium of instruction
is English. In this case the school must issue a certificate stating that "The
medium of instruction is English”.
- you have a foreign high school diploma which is recognized
by the Italian Ministry of Education and Research as equivalent to the
Italian “diploma di maturità”, or you have a higher qualification awarded
by a higher education institute in which the medium of instruction is
English. In both cases the school must issue a certificate stating that
“The medium of instruction is English”.
