University preparation courses in Italy
(TOLC Test)
Is your dream to study in Italy? Do you want to attend an excellent university in one of the most beautiful cities in the world? Do you want to have a degree with which you can also work in Europe?
Your journey begins here!
…. But first you have to pass an admission test . .
The advantages of studying in Italy
Why study Italian
We know that you already speak English well and you feel that taking an entrance test in English is easier. However, you will face two main obstacles:
- The curriculum in English is also as complex as that in Italian;
- The number of competitors is very high because Italians are also competing.
- When you finally graduate and want to specialize in medicine,for example, you will have to show that you have a C1 level of proficiency in Italian. Therefore, if you are not a native Italian speaker, you will not have much chance of entering graduate school.
In any case, as of 2023, the schedule for medical school entrance tests has changed: the TOLC – MED in Italian has two exam sessions in February and April. The IMAT Test is normally in October. It would then theoretically be possible to take the test in both Italian and English

Course content.
Our college admission test preparation course consists of Italian language classes and admission test preparation with classes in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Logical Reasoning, Technical Drawing and Art History. The subjects depend on the Faculty desired by the students, and the examination must be taken in the proportions defined by the Ministry of University and Research
Slides prepared by our lecturers along with official admission tests from previous years are used during the lectures. The preparation course follows the guidelines of the Italian Ministry of University and Research, a program that Italian students study in high school.
Our teachers
All of our teachers have degrees in science subjects as required by the Ministry of University and Scientific Research to become teachers in Italy.
Because we
Our course prepares foreign students on the same subjects studied by Italian students, allowing them a good chance of success in taking the same exam for university entrance. It is therefore necessary for foreign students to reach a high level of Italian language proficiency, toward which ILM will expertly guide them.
Thanks to our experience and method, as well as the individual commitment of each student, 95 percent of our students successfully pass the university entrance exam.Your
