Language Requirement
Knowledge of English (B2 level) is a requirement for the access to the QB master's degree.

Students without a B2 level certification may be accepted on condition that their level of English proficiency, assessed during the entry interview, is evidently good.

Adequate basic knowledge:
The adequate personal background of the candidates and their ability to communicate in English are decisive elements for the acceptance to QB and they are going to be verified and tested during the entry interview. Knowledge of Italian is not required. Particular attention will be given to the knowledge in biological subjects of candidates with non-biological backgrounds. In this case, the entry interview will identify gaps requiring extra study to be levelled off by the student with the support of tutors before enrollment.
