The UNICA-CLA English language Project is available for all students enrolled in any Degree Programme on or after the 2019/2020 Academic Year (both standard undergraduate and 5-year programmes).
For further information, please refer to the project handbook and all instructions published by the University Language Centre (CLA - Centro linguistico di Ateneo), by clicking on the link below.
For all students enrolled before 2019/2020, a computerised Level Assessment TEST administered by the University Language Centre replaces the English language exam.
The assessment will be in TEST form only, with no spoken assessment; and its outcome will be a binary PASS or FAIL result, without the award of a mark.
PLEASE NOTE: Starting from November 2022, the University Language Centre will allow each student to attempt the English Language Test up to three times per level (not per academic or calendar year). After three failed attempts, students will not be allowed to sit the next available test (in other words, they will need to skip the next scheduled test session), in order to ensure that they give themselves enough time to improve their competence.
Registration
The standard ESSE3 procedure applies for test registration.
Students will receive the actual timetable for sitting the language test after the deadline for ESSE3 registration, indicating both test date and time in case of rotation.
Test Venue
