Language Proficiency Requirements:
Universities in Italy offer degree programs and courses in English or Italian language and this is why applicants are required to provide language proficiency proof with their scholarship applications and here i will disclose minimum language requirements for these Italian MAECI scholarships.
For English language taught programmes at Italian government universities on MAECI scholarship you will be required to provide English language proficiency certificate (Issued by your last attended university) or you must have a score of B2 in common European framework of reference for languages (CEFR) whereas for Italian language taught programmes you will be required to have A2 level in CEFR or have to submit Italian language proficiency certificate.
But if you are applying for a research based doctoral degree scholarship program in Italy then the good news is that you will be exempted from the requirement of English/Italian language proficiency so do not wait and submit your application for Italian government scholarship now whereas you can read this notice by MAECI here.
