Language proficiency

Language proficiency is needed to consolidate your English language skills and to be more competitive in the job market. The required level is B2.

How to get it

You can obtain your aptitude, which is compulsory in the first year within your study plan, by passing a test, in preparation for which you can choose to take the L-LIN/12 English Language B2 course offered by the course itself (you can consult the Teaching and Examination Calendar in this menu). You will obtain a pass mark.

Exemptions

Your aptitude will be recognised if you have:

  • a bachelor's degree in languages (with English as the language of study or at least two examinations of ssd L-LIN/12 per floor)
  • a B2 level already achieved during your previous Bachelor's degree
  • a certificate of language proficiency issued by recognised international certifying bodies (Cambridge, Oxford, TOEFL, IELTS) at B2 level or higher
  • a B2 level or higher certificate issued by the Unige Language Skills Development Sector (clat@unige.it)
  • .

The three possible modes of exemption are only implemented if the relevant qualifications, which can be documented, have been obtained within the last four years.

If you are in possession of one of the three conditions described, you can send the documentation to the course instructor to request immediate recognition of your qualification.

Benefits

If you have obtained your aptitude by attending the L-LIN/12 English Language B2 course offered by the course itself, you can request a declaration of your level of proficiency in English.
