All students must pass an English language exam (B2 level or higher) in order to earn their Bachelor’s degree (graduation requirement). 

The English language certificate is an admission requirement if you are applying for an English-taught Bachelor’s degree programme or if you want to attend your first-year courses in English. In these cases, you must have an English language certificate (B2 level or higher) before applying online on the Apply@polito platform of Politecnico website.

If you have an Italian high school diploma, you may be required to show your original English language certificate to the Office of the University Registrar. If you have a non-Italian high school diploma, you may be required to show your original English language certificate to the Incoming Mobility Office.

The English language course is part of your Personal Study Plan / Annual Personal Study Plan.

If you have one of the certificates and scores (corresponding to B2 level) listed in this table you will be awarded the credits of the English language exam without having to take it.

If you do not have an English language certificate, you can choose to take the IELTS exam at Politecnico di Torino. 

You will find the details of your English language certificate in your personal page of the Teaching Portal – Online Services tab – View your data and change your address portlet – Personal details.
