Italian is not necessary for the course, as lectures and all related activities are in English. However, it would be advantageous to have some knowledge of Italian for your daily life in Italy.

Italian language knowledge is however recommended for the II year of the course, in case you would like to apply for an internship or work in Italy, as most companies require some knowledge of the Italian language.
 

What are the fees to be paid?

Fees are defined on a yearly basis between April and June. An application and tuition fee must be paid.
