The preparation course for architectural studies in Italy is intended for students willing to study in a Faculty of Architecture in Italy. In order to be admitted to Italian University, one must pass an entrance examination on scientific and technical subjects (in Italian).
Students from EU-member countries may apply for the entrance exam directly at the university in Italy. Requirements for enrollment: the upper high school qualification must be translated, authenticated, and provided with a "Certificate of equivalence of qualification" (dichiarazione di valore), issued by the Italian Consulate in their country.
Students from other countries must apply to the entrance exam at the Italian consular delegation in their country. Before attending the entrance exam (scientific subjects) students must pass an Italian language proficiency test.
Scuola Leonardo da Vinci is among the first schools that offer preparation courses for architectural students. During our thirty-five years of experience, we have put together a program that in its composition corresponds to the official program of the entrance exams. In our courses, the main emphasis is put on the language tuition and thorough preparation in the various examination subjects.
In the preparation course, the students are taught by highly qualified and experienced lecturers. The purpose of the courses is not only to successfully pass the entrance exams at university but, thanks to careful tuition of many examination subjects of the first university year, to enable the students to immediately take up their studies at the university.
During the last thirty-five years, we have prepared several hundred students to successfully pass the entrance exams for Italian universities.
We are at your disposal for any further information.
