Preparation courses for studying at University in Italy

Florence, Milan and Rome organize a preparation course geared towards foreign students who wish to attend University in Italy. Some of the universities require students to take an entrance exam in order to be accepted into a specific program/major. Whether or not an exam is required for matriculation, our course prepares students for success throughout their degree’s curriculum.
In some cases, an entrance exam is required for all applicants, with a limited number of students accepted into a specific University program. In other circumstances, students will take an exam solely to introduce them to topics related to their major, with an open number of applicants and as well as student acceptance.
Our University preparation course at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci® will prepare students by reinforcing language skills, enhancing writing competence and by focusing on subject matter and vocabulary closely related to each specialized program.

Course Structure and Method

Critical thinking and reasoning and general Cultural themes (40 classes)

Critical thinking and reasoning

Throughout the course, students will work on the materials of the admission tests from previous years. The goal is to incorporate specific types of logical reasoning and practice testing. In particular, the Critical Thinking section centers upon summarizing and drawing conclusions, identifying assumptions, assessing the impact of additional evidence and detecting reasoning errors. As for the Problem Solving section, students will practice with questions related to numerical and spatial skills. Exercises will be divided into three areas: relevant selection, selecting specific information to discover a solution; finding procedures, finding the method in which you can use to generate a solution; and finally identifying similarity, being able to identify the same information presented in a different way.
