Application-related questions
A1. Is there a minimum score to pass the English TOLC-E test?
There is no minimum score because the ranking depends on the performance of all the
applicants of that given session. The same score can be enough for admission in a given
year but not in the following one.
A2. Is the English TOLC-E test valid also if taken at another university?
Yes, as long as it is taken within the relevant dates indicated in the IPLE call.
A3. Can I take the English TOLC-E test more than once? If yes, which one will be
considered for the purposes of the application?
You can take no more than one TOLC test of the same type per calendar month. For the
purposes of the 2024/25 ranking, and any additional learning requirements (OFA), we will
consider your highest test score from 1 January 2023 to the deadline date for that session
(both TOLC@CASA/TOLC@HOME and TOLC at University). Each time you sit the test you
will have to pay a €30 fee.
A4. Do I have to upload the score of the English TOLC-E test when applying to the
Unimi website?
No, there is no need to upload/send us the score of the English TOLC-E test, because the
University Offices automatically collect it from the TOLC CISIA website for those who apply
to the University website within the relevant deadlines. Therefore, if you both took the test
and applied to the Unimi website (in whichever order) within the relevant IPLE deadlines,
your application phase is complete. NB: Candidates are encouraged to use the same tax
A6. Are other tests valid alternatives to the English TOLC-E test?
No, no other test (i.e., SAT, etc) is valid. Similarly, other TOLC types (i.e., TOLC I, TOLC E)
are not accepted. Only the “English TOLC-E” test is valid.
A10. I am a non-EU applicant who resides in the EU. Do I have to participate in the EU
or non-EU sessions?
If you reside in the EU and/or already hold a valid visa then you are considered as an EU-
equivalent candidate. To check the validity of your visa, contact the consular authorities.
S6. Once I have identified the elective courses I want to take, what do I do?
When choosing the elective courses, students should pay attention to some criteria detailed
here. As a general rule, if a course is offered by the Faculty of Political, Economic, and
Social Sciences (SPES), it is not necessary to obtain any authorisation. When the course
chosen is outside the Faculty of Political, Economic, and Social Sciences, or when there is a
risk of duplication with IPLE’s courses, students should contact the tutors before the study
plan submission by writing an email to [email protected] to ask for authorisation. In case of
doubt, students shall always contact the tutors first.
Transfers-related questions
T1. Do I have to take the test if I want to transfer to IPLE from another University?
Yes, transfers, such as new enrolments, are included in the same programmed places
available. There are no different procedures. So, in order to be admitted, you shall apply
normally according to the procedures and deadlines contained in the Call for admission
2024/25.
T2. Do I have to take the test if I want to transfer to IPLE from another Unimi degree
programme?
Yes, transfers, such as new enrolments, are included in the same programmed places
available. There are no different procedures even for other Unimi students. So, in order to be
admitted, you shall apply normally according to the procedures and deadlines contained in
the Call for admission 2024/25. The only difference is in the enrolment phase: candidates
already enrolled in a Unimi course will not be required to enrol ex novo, but will have to
renew their enrolment and submit an internal transfer application using the procedure on the
page: http://studente.unimi.it/trasfInterno/. Additional information about internal transfers is
available at: https://www.unimi.it/en/study/bachelor-and-master-study/transferring-different-
programme-or-university/internal-transfer-bachelors-and-single-cycle-degree-programmes
T4. If I have any questions about the possible recognition of previous credits, whom
should I contact?
You may send an email to the tutors, at [email protected], by attaching your study plan, complete
with your name and surname, the name of the course, the number of the exams you have
taken and, for each exam, the full name, the date, the number of credits and the Academic
Disciplines (Settore Scientifico-Disciplinare, SSD). For instance, International Law (IUS/13),
Political Science (SPS/04), and so on.
T5. Can I apply simultaneously at two different degree programmes (IPLE and
something else)?
Effective as of 13 May 2022, in Italy it is now possible to enrol simultaneously in two tertiary
education programmes. Students already enrolled in another Unimi course or university who
want to apply simultaneously to IPLE, must meet enrolment requisites for both programmes
and additionally must follow the procedures set out at the following page:
https://www.unimi.it/en/study/enrolment/simultaneous-enrolment-two-highereducation-
programmes, including submitting a request via the InformaStudenti platform – Enrolment –
Simultaneous enrolment in two programmes.
