Once you have received the email, go back to your pre-enrollment application on Unige Online Services and press the "save" button. The application will pass to the "complete" state, see above.

Once the error has been corrected, the application must be saved again.

all students will have to take the Italian language test and get at least level A2 (minimum level required only to complete the enrolment). Unige requires level B2. You cannot take the language test only if you have provided a certificate of knowledge of the Italian language recognized by Unige. More information on the Recognized Certifications. You can also take a course independently, we point out the Centro Studi Italiani (with an office in Genoa) issuing a certificate recognized by Unige.
You can find all the information on the required requirements and the Italian language tests (which you should read carefully) at the following page: Test of Italian language

you do not have to demonstrate the knowledge of the Italian language, you can provide a certificate of English proficiency (at least level B2) recognized by Unige or submit a document stating that English has been the medium of instruction (MOI) of the degree you have obtained. In the case of access to a Master’s Degree in English, during the pre-selection on UniGeApply you will be able to provide the document of knowledge of the English language. If you get it later, you can provide it during the pre-enrolment phase or later you can contact the Secretarial Offices of your School of reference to provide the certificate (you can start from corsi.unige.it, search for your course and see the contacts, or see https://unige.it/servizi/segreterie).
