The course recognises certifications at the same level or higher.

English (cod. 108657)

In the academic year 2025/2026 the English language course will be taught by Prof. Justin Rainey (go to the teaching schedule).

Alternatively, you can follow the self-study online course offered by the University's Language Skills Development Sector (CLAT) and take the final test (which consists of a computer-based test). For career recognition purposes, you will have to forward the certificate of proficiency issued by CLAT to the teacher in charge of teaching code 108657 (Prof. Rainey).
Information about access to the online course is made available every year around mid-October on the Aulaweb "Notices and useful documents for students - PHILOSOPHY METHODOLOGIES".
Information about the final test and how to issue the level certificate is available here: https://clat.unige.it/TestENB2 

FRENCH - SPANISH - GERMAN (cod. 106571)

If, on the other hand, you wish to take the B2 level test in a language other than English (a choice between French, Spanish and German), you will need to contact the teacher responsible:

• prof. Giaufret for the French test
• prof.ssa Sanfelici for the Spanish test
• prof. Gerdes for the German test

The B2 test will be given at the same time as the B1 test, according to the timetable set by the humanities departments, i.e.:
- one date in early January
- one date in early May
- one date in the first half of June
- one date in the first half of September
The test consists of a computer-based examination.
To prepare for the test you can take advantage of a self-study online course, currently only available for French and German. Information about access to the online courses is made available around mid-October each year on the Aulaweb "Notices and useful documents for students - PHILOSOPHY METHODOLOGIES".
