First-year students
If you are a first-year student, or if you are enrolled at Politecnico
for the first time, and you have not been exempted from obtaining the IELTS
certificate, you are required to take the English level test. This test identifies
your initial language level so that you will be able to take part in the
learning activities which best suit your needs.
You are exempted from taking the English level test if you have presented one of the following certificates during the online enrolment phase: IELTS 4.5, Cambridge P.E.T. Pass, TOEFL ibt - score range: 52-61. These certificates identify your initial language level but they do not exempt you from taking the IELTS exam.
