The advantages of studying in Italy
Why study in Italian
We know that you already speak English well and it seems to you that taking an entry test in English is easier. However, you will be faced with two major obstacles:
Even the program in English is as complex as the one in Italian;
The number of your competitors is very high, because the Italians also compete.
When you finally graduate and want to specialize, for example, in Medicine, you will need to demonstrate that you have a C1 level of knowledge of the Italian language. Therefore, if you are not a native Italian speaker, you will not have many chances to access the Specialization School.
The Path to University
For many years, ILM has been offering preparation courses for university entrance exams, which in recent years have been held in all universities for the majority of degree courses with limited access via the TOLC exam. Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing Sciences, Physiotherapy and Health Professions, Architecture, Computer Science and Engineering: if you want to graduate from one of these faculties, ILM will help you from the very first step.
STEP 1: Take accurate information about the Italian university system, the bureaucratic aspects, the entry procedures;
STEP 2: Apply for a study visa for the ILM course;
STEP 3: Attend the intensive Italian language course
STEP 4: Attend the preparation course for scientific subjects and TOLC exercises;
STEP 5: Take the exam and enroll in the rankings;
STEP 6: Apply for a Registration Visa;
STEP 7: Enroll in the chosen university and start studying.
