IULM University has Erasmus+ and Exchange agreements with numerous international universities worldwide. To spend one or two semesters at IULM, students from partner universities must first be nominated (Nomination process) by their home university coordinator/contact person through a Nomination Form sent to partner universities by email. After the nomination, students will receive instructions by email to complete the application (Application process).
The official teaching language in IULM is Italian, therefore most of courses and exams are given in Italian. IULM University also offers a wide interdisciplinary selection of courses in English. To be admitted and attend courses held in Italian and/or in English, an official certification attesting the actual language level possessed by the student is required:
- B2 is the minimum level required for the English language, in order to be admitted to and be able to attend courses taught in English;
- B2 is the minimum level required for the Italian language, in order to be admitted to and be able to attend courses taught in Italian.
The following certificates are accepted:
- International language certifications (i.e. IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, PLIDA, CILS, etc.)
- Official declarations signed by a home-university language teacher or academic coordinator
- Enrollment certificate for students who are attending an English-taught Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree
The following certificates are not accepted:
- OLS assessment certificates
- Duolingo tests and scoring
All certificates must be translated into English or Italian and explicitly certify the exact level possessed by the student (B2 or higher).
According to the courses they plan to attend, students may have both language certifications (English and Italian) or just one of them.
To ensure the consequent Application Process runs smoothly, Partner Universities are required to provide students’ language certifications through our online Nomination Form or by email, not later than the last day of the Nomination Period.
