CONDITIONS FOR ADMISSION (Deadline: winter/spring 2013 to be confirmed)

No more than 30 candidates will be admitted to the 2013-2016 cycle. Past experience has shown that a large number of applicants will be competing for these slots. Therefore the admissions process has been divided into two phases.
The tri-lingual exam commission will select up to 60 candidates from all the applicants, and invite them to Bolzano for a five-day battery of admissions exams.
Recommended age of applicants: 20-30 years.

Degree requirements: High school diploma. May be waived in cases of exceptional talent. Diplomas received abroad must be comparable to Italian high school diploma requirements. Candidates are expected to possess basic computer skills.

Languages: Studies at ZeLIG are trilingual: Italian, German and English. Upon admission, candidates are required to attend intensive language courses to strengthen their skills. Attendance of such courses is essential for final admission, and must be officially certified by the language schools attended. Language skills will be assessed during admissions interviews, allowing ZeLIG to determine whether candidates must attend special language courses.
