ITALIAN LANGUAGE
Students who are admitted to Politecnico with a foreign qualification are required either to demonstrate or to achieve an adequate knowledge of the Italian language during their studies, according to the rules of each Bachelor's degree programme.
If you apply for admission to an Italian-taught Bachelor’s degree programme and you have a non-Italian high school diploma, you must prove your knowledge of the Italian language: this is an admission requirement.
Visit the website of the International Affairs Department in order to find out about the language requirements and the language certificates recognised by the Politecnico di Torino. Once you have been admitted to the degree programme, the certificate you have submitted will be recorded in your personal data, Online Services tab of your PoliTo page.
You will not have to sit any additional Italian language exams.
IMPORTANT NOTICE for students with provisional enrolment for the academic year 2020/2021 due to the lack of Italian language certificate required for admission: the provisional condition must be dropped by presenting one of the Italian language certificates required by 31 December 2021.
If you hold a foreign high-school diploma and have enrolled in an Italian-taught Bachelor’s degree programme with first year taught in English, your knowledge of the Italian language is a requirement for you to continue with your Degree programme: you must pass an Italian language exam at a minimum level of B1 (CEFR) by the end of the first year.
You will therefore find the Italian language course (02PIKLZ Italian language level III) included in your APSP of the first year, in supernumerary to the 180 credits required to earn the degree.
The inclusion of the Italian course in your APSP will enable you to use the specific procedure, soon available on the Lingue/Languages tab of your PoliTo page, which will allow you to choose whether or not to attend an Italian language course in the first semester of the first year.
If, alternatively, you obtain the PLIDA certificate or a substitute certificate of an adequate level outside the Politecnico, you can request the registration of the mandatory Italian language exam included in your APSP by attaching the required language certificate on your PoliTo personal page. With regard to this, the University reserves the right to carry out a check on a sample of at least 5% of students, requesting the submission of original documentation and verifying the truthfulness of this documentation with the providers.
If you hold a non-Italian high-school diploma and have enrolled in an English-taught Bachelor’s degree programme at the Politecnico di Torino, your knowledge of Italian is a prerequisite for graduation: you will have to pass an Italian language exam at a minimum level of A2 (CEFR) in order to graduate.
The Italian language course 01OXGLZ Lingua Italiana II livello (Italian language II level) will therefore be included in your APSP of the first year, in supernumerary to the 180 credits required for the degree.
If, on the other hand, you obtain PLIDA certificate or a substitute certificate of an adequate level outside the Politecnico, you can request the registration of the mandatory Italian language exam included in your APSP by attaching the required language certificate on your PoliTo personal page. With regard to this, the University reserves the right to carry out a check on a sample of at least 5% of students, requesting the submission of original documentation and verifying the truthfulness of this documentation with the providers.
