How to Enrol
Admission requirements
- A high school diploma obtained after at least 12 years of schooling; if the qualification is issued after a period lower than 12, please visit this webpage for further details.
- A proficiency level in English of at least a B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Proficiency is verified:
- by means of a certificate, issued by a recognised institution
or
- by successfully passing a test, organised by the University of Macerata Language Center (CLA): the calendar of the tests (English language, level B2), along with the instructions for booking the test, is available on the following website: http://cla.unimc.it/it/servizi. The students who pass the test are waived from submitting the B2-level certification.
Initial language certification at level B2 is considered to have been acquired by students who meet the following requirements:
- Citizenship of a country where English is an official language;
- A letter/certificate issued by the school of provenance certifying that the studies have been conducted in English (English as a Medium of Instruction).
Every year, the University of Macerata Language Center organises language courses for the English language at level B2, as a preparation for the test. For further information, please contact the University of Macerata Language Center: http://cla.unimc.it/it/il-centro/orari-spostamenti.
In the event students fail the proficiency test, they can, in any case, enrol in the IECoLS LLB, with the obligation to submit a certificate of proficiency in English of at least a B2 level by the end of the first year. Until the certification is submitted, or the test passed, the student is not permitted to take exams for modules offered for the second year of the IECoLS LLB Programme and onwards.
Entry knowledge verification – IECoLS-Entry Test
(formerly English TOLC-E)
Starting from the academic year 2025/2026, all students wishing to complete their enrolment in the LLB in International, European and Comparative Legal Studies (IECoLS) must take the IECoLS-Entry Test (formerly English TOLC-E).
The test is designed to verify entry-level knowledge at the time of enrolment. The skills assessed reflect the entry requirements of the IECoLS study programme.
The test is structured as follows: 15 multiple-choice questions based on three short texts, to be completed in 60 minutes.
The minimum passing grade is 9 correct answers out of 15.
Students who do not reach the minimum threshold may still enrol, but will be assigned an Additional Learning Requirement (in Italian: OFA).
The test will take place in person at the Department of Law:
- 1st semester: 20 November 2025 at 3pm
- 2nd semester: date/time to be defined
________________________________________________________________________________
(1) Students who have already taken the CISIA English TOLC-E test between February 2024 and October 2025 and obtained a minimum score of 3/13 in Logic and 5/10 in Reading comprehension can consider this result as equivalent to having passed the IECoLS-Entry test.
(2) Students who take the CISIA TOLC CEnT-S test and obtain an overall minimum grade of 60% can consider this result as equivalent to having passed the IECoLS-Entry test.
All other students who do not comply with either (1) or (2) above must take the IECoLS-Entry test.
