Italian Language Test for Non-EU Students Residing Abroad
A Commission composed of the Department’s professors is appointed annually to design and administer the remote Italian language test for non-EU students residing abroad, who have regularly submitted an application for admission through the Universitaly platform and do not hold qualifications that grant exemption.
The test aims to assess candidates’ ability to attend courses taught in Italian, study using Italian-language materials, and successfully pass final examinations.
Structure of the Test
The test consists of two parts:
- Oral interview: focusing on the candidate’s background, motivation for choosing the study program, knowledge of Italy, and command of the Italian language.
- Reading and comprehension test: candidates are given a passage taken from a textbook used in one of our courses. After silent reading, the Commission asks questions to evaluate comprehension and reflection.
Commission (Academic Year 2025/26)
- Chair: Piera Margutti
- Members: Fabio degli Esposti, Francesca Cialdini
- Substitutes: Giovanna Buonanno, Maria Laura Turchi
The Chair coordinates the Commission’s work, liaises with the Student Office, informs the Department Council of its activities, oversees the drafting of reports, and ensures that candidates receive all necessary information regarding test procedures and online access.
Test Schedule (Academic Year 2025)
| Session | Date |
|---|---|
| Summer | July 10, 2025 |

One week before the test dates, the Commission requests the candidate data from the University Student Office in order to contact them and provide detailed instructions about the online connection and test procedures. The Student Office will then notify candidates of their results based on the Commission’s official report.
