If you have done your studies in English, you do not need to send an English certificate, as long as you submit an official statement, issued by your University, confirming that the medium of instruction was English.
As the official TOEFL score report sent by ETS may arrive after the deadline, you must submit the unofficial TOEFL score report given the day of the test.

The IMIM Programme is primarily oriented to graduate students with a technical or scientific background. Other academic backgrounds can also be considered.
IMIM students have an average of 2 years of relevant work experience. Work experience is not compulsory, but, if present and relevant, it will be taken into account in the selection process.
There is no age limit, but in general Master courses are a qualification which you would expect to take early on in your career after having some working experience.
Applications will be processed after deadlines. The selection procedure lasts approximately one month.
The specific number of admissions varies each year - as well as the Country of origin and the background of the applicants -, depending on the applicant pool. Gender and nationality are taken into account in the selection process, as well as personal, professional and academic experiences, but most of all we focus our attention on individuals rather than on classifications of people.
IMIM's Coordinating Institution will communicate unofficial results in March and official results in June.
Once you have been officially admitted in the Programme and received the required documents to apply for the student visa.
With a student visa you will be able to work part-time.
As the IMIM Programme is a full-time programme, studying and working at the same time is not advisable.
