English does not remove preparation

English-taught programmes are common in some fields and limited in others. The student should check whether the programme is fully in English, partly in Italian or connected to specific tests.

The file should show that the student can follow the course and handle the practical side of living in Italy.

  1. Check the teaching language on the programme page.
  2. Prepare English proof if requested.
  3. Write a clear CV and motivation letter.
  4. Plan budget, housing and visa documents early.

Choosing the right programme

VisaHorizon helps students compare English-taught options by academic fit, requirements, city and long-term project instead of choosing only by language.
