We are going to provide a series of Italian courses for students who participate in a placement test, which will take place on Aulaweb. 

Lessons will be held exclusively in person and the timetable will be communicated during the month of November.

Following the tests, a number of Italian 50-hour courses - level A1 through to C1 - will be made available to students. Lessons are held 4 times a week, each lesson lasts two hours. Each student can attend only one course per semester, for a maximum of 2 courses during the same academic year. Students who have added the courses to their learning agreement will be allocated 2 CFUs per course at the end of each course and only upon passing a relevant test. 

Only students who have attended at least 50% of the hours, are allowed at the final exam.

The 2 credits are not accompanied by a grade but they are comparable to a positive assessment (idoneità).
