- Other activities: STUDENTS HAVE TO ACQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL 3 CREDITS
The study plan includes 3 ECTS for additional language skills, normally of the English Language (OTHER ACTIVITIES). These credits are acquired by deepening the knowledge of technical English on the specific vocabulary of the thesis, in agreement with the thesis supervisor.
Among the electives, those who do not hold an Italian high school diploma or degree can obtain 3 credits in Additional language skills: Italian by demonstrating A2 level in Italian per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This level can be assessed in one of the following ways:
- by submitting a certificate of A2 or higher level issued no more than three years prior to the date of submission. You will find the list of language certificates recognized by the University at: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/349/). The language certificate must be uploaded through http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue ;
- by an entry-level test administrated by SLAM that can be taken only once and is compulsory for all students who do not have a valid language certificate. Those who fail to reach A2 level will have to attend one or more than one 60-hour Italian course(s) geared to their level. Those who do not take the entry-level test or fail to pass the end-of-course test after six attempts will have to obtain language certification privately in order to earn the 3 credits of Additional language skills: Italian. As an alternative, they can modify their course programme by choosing a different elective.
