English language certificates. Students can submit an English B2 (or higher, i.e., C1 or C2) language certificate. A list of accepted certificates at UniGe is available on the  CLAT webpage. Submitted certificates are assessed and valid ones allow students to have their English B2 level acknowledged and recorded in their career along with their respective credits. 

Please note: before enrolling on the B2 course, it is strongly recommended that students take -and pass- the English B1 language level test. Taking the EN B2 course without passing the EN B1 test first is likely to prove far too difficult. Find out more here.
