Each academic year, the University organises Italian language courses of varying lengths for international students, PhD candidates, research fellows and researchers who wish to learn the basics of Italian or improve their language skills. Classes generally begin in October or November.
The office contacts prospective participants directly by email, inviting them to complete a Google Form to express their interest.
Course schedules are shared with participants before classes begin. All courses are taught by instructors specialising in teaching Italian as a second language (L2).
Please note: to obtain the required 3 language credits (CFU), students must pass the University’s language proficiency test.
