The programme is aimed at:
- Italian and foreign students who are interested in improving the quality of their basic education in order to attend university successfully
- international students who have not reached the 12 years of schooling required to enroll in a degree programme in Italy, interested in improving their language skills in Italian
- students in possession of the US High School Diploma (HSD) who have not passed the three "Advanced Placements" (APs) required for enrolment in Italian universities
- students in possession of the "General Certificate of Education" (GCE) or the "International Certificate of Education" (IGCE) issued by the United Kingdom without being in possession of the 3 A-levels required for enrolment in Italian universities.
Students who pass the Foundation Year final exams:
- will meet the minimum educational and linguistic requirements for admission to university study at the University of Brescia
