Music History Test for First-Cycle Academic Students

Candidates who have been deemed eligible in the admission examinations for the First-Cycle Academic Programme (with the exception of Jazz, Early Music, Electronic Music, and Historical, Critical and Analytical Studies of Music programmes) will be required, after enrolment, to take an assessment of their knowledge in Music History. This assessment will consist of a test including both multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Failure to pass the test or absence will result in an academic deficit, which must be fulfilled by attending a specific course and passing a final examination.

Italian Language Test for International Students

International candidates who pass the admission exams will, after enrolment, be required to attend an Italian language proficiency test at the Conservatoire. The test, which is mandatory for all international candidates regardless of any language certifications they may hold, consists of both a written and an oral component.
To pass the test, a minimum level of B1 (according to the CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is required.
Candidates who do not pass the test or who are absent will be assigned an academic requirement to be fulfilled through mandatory attendance of a course with a final examination organized by the Conservatoire.
