Whether you need an Italian language certificate to study in Italy depends on your program and university. Most undergraduate courses taught in Italian require proof of proficiency, such as CELI or CILS certifications. For English-taught programs, an Italian certificate may not be necessary, but English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL are often required.
Non-EU students applying for a visa might need to demonstrate basic Italian skills, even for English programs. Always check the specific requirements of your chosen institution and course, as policies vary. Some universities offer preparatory language courses for students lacking certification.
