The admission test is also meant to check the entry level of each candidate student in each subject, to be better positioned in the most appropriate classes of the 2-year program.
WHEN
Pre-Academic Admission Tests for International students can be sit in 2 different intakes, according to the necessities of the students themselves:
- FEBRUARY
- JUNE
The specific dates have to be individually agreed upon through the International Office.
NB: Considering the current difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemics, for the 2020/2021 applications Saint Louis is applying a FLEXIBILITY policy in the entire Admission process: deadlines will not be rigorous and late applications will be easily accepted; missing documents can be sent at later stages.
The Admission Tests might be delayed until the months of July or September 2020, according to the students’ necessities.
We nevertheless recommend the Non-EU International students to require to the International Office to sit the Admission tests in an online modality (at least for the theoretical subjects), so to have time enough to get feedback on the admission and prepare the Visa papers and procedure, which might be a very long one.
We encourage you to apply and contact the International Office for support in your application.
Admission Tests for International students coming from further Countries can also be sit on-line, without coming to Rome, under specific request.
