*For the recognition of IGCSE English as a Second Language and First Language English, all the components (reading, writing, listening, speaking) must be completed.
You can sit an English language test (OOPT) organized by the University of Bologna.
The Online Oxford Placement Test (OOPT) aims at ascertaining the possession of an adequate lexical background and the main grammatical structures of the English language, useful for addressing the study and deepening of the contents related to the university experience.
You can meet the language requirement passing the OPT with at least level B2.
The test is delivered online with the use of tools and technologies capable of creating virtual classrooms in which to recreate a safe and controlled environment, where you can be correctly identified and can perform your own test independently.
The test consists of 48 questions to be completed in 90 minutes and is divided into three types of tests:
For each question to which a correct answer is given, 1 point is awarded; in all other cases (no answer or wrong answer) 0 points are awarded.
You need to send an email to the Program Coordinator at dimevet.famce@unibo.it
In order to sign in, within the corresponding deadline.
It is not necessary to register for the test. A few days before the test, if you have not already met the requirement for the selection, you will receive instructions on how to participate at name.surname@studio.unibo.it.
If you participate in more than one selection, you can take the test only once, in the first selection in which you participate. The result will be considered valid for subsequent selections for the same level or lower, in the same academic year.
The test is aimed solely at admission to degree programmes at the University of Bologna. No certification is issued.
