The  working language of GLOPEM is english. Italian language level certificate must  not be delivered for Master programmes entirely taught in english (as GLOPEM), provided that different rules are not mentioned in the annual call.

Applicants must have knowledge of English certified by an international certification, or proved by an exam passed in the Bachelor degree course (Italian grade 27/30 or a grade equivalent to level B1 of the Council of Europe scale).

Please, find below the Global Scale based on the distinction among basic user (A1 and A2), Independent User: B1 and B2 and Proficient User: C1 and C2

Self-Assessment Grid showing major categories of language use at each of the six levels are available  on the Council of Europe web site at: http://www.coe.int/T/DG4/Portfolio/?M=/main_pages/levels.html

Please, remember that Language schools and certificate bodies evaluate their own equivalences against the framework. Therefore, you have to check the correspondence of your language school score with the Council of Europe Scale to verify the correspondence with the admission requirement.
