IELTS for Italy from Vietnam (2026)

From Vietnam, the strongest route to Italy is healthcare — and nurse or health-practitioner registration sets a high IELTS bar (commonly 7.0 in each skill). Here's the honest score and AI-scored practice to reach it.

Coming from Vietnam: healthcare registration and the IELTS you need

  • Registration English is separate from any university or visa minimum — the regulator (e.g. the NMC, AHPRA) sets it, usually 7.0-level. Confirm the current figure with the body.
  • English (PTE/IELTS) for AU/UK/CA; JLPT N4/JFT for Japan, EPS-TOPIK for Korea, German for Germany.
  • Credentials: MOET (Ministry of Education and Training) — certified English translation.

The IELTS score you need for Italy

Study (university + student visa)
A commonly cited requirement is English-taught programmes typically require IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall (set per university), set by Italian universities.

IELTS requirements change and vary by route, university, employer and visa class — always confirm the current figure with the official body before you rely on it. This page is honest guidance, not immigration advice.

Academic, General Training or UKVI?

Use IELTS Academic for English-taught admission. Italian-taught programmes require an Italian-language test instead.
