Degree course Literature - Vercelli (Binational Degree) - academic year 24/25

For those enrolled in the second year and opting for full-time study, the Humanities L-10 course requires students to pass a language qualification for 6 CFU.

Students in possession of an English or French or German or Spanish language certificate accepted by the University of Eastern Piedmont may request its recognition for the purposes of exemption by uploading it during the enrolment process by the deadline. The validity of all certifications is 2 years from the date of issue.

In the case of English, if the certification attests a B1 level, recognition counts as having passed the EPT (English Placement Test) and gives access to English language teaching; if the certification attests a level of at least B2, students may ask the CDS to validate it, for the purposes of recognition of English language teaching, bearing in mind that certifications are valid for a limited period of time. For the regulatory reference framework, please consult this page.

To find out more about all accepted language certifications, please refer to the dedicated section of the website.
