PLEASE NOTE
The English language course (9 credits) requires the possession of a language proficiency certificate equal to or higher than the B1+ level acquired in the last two years and regularly validated. Students who do not meet this requirement will have to attend, in the first year, and pass English Language (preparatory module), postponing English Language from 9 credits to the second year of the course.
