Students who intend to apply for the Master's Degree in Digital Transformation Management must prove their English proficiency in order to be admitted.
The requirement is considered met if the candidate submits a suitable certification of at least level B2 CEFR upon applying.
The University of Bologna Language Center (CLA) offers the possibility to sit an English placement test for the applicants who do not hold an English language certificate.
If the candidate passes the placement test with a level B2 or higher, this specific requirement will be fulfilled.
The assessment includes multiple choice grammar questions, a short "gap-fill" type exercise and multiple choice comprehension questions based on understanding short written and audio dialogues. The duration is 60 minutes.
The language assessment will take place online via Zoom platform. To participate, the candidate must connect with a fixed or portable PC equipped with webcam and microphone. Alternatively, it is possible to carry out the assessment with a tablet + smartphone. Without these IT equipment, the assessment cannot be sustained.
