Italian for PhD students enrolled in three-year or master’s degrees in English

Italian courses for international students enrolled in three-year or master’s courses delivered in English or doctoral courses are usually held in the second semester of each academic year.


Each course will last 40 hours, each lesson will last two hours and there will be two lessons per week. The methods of delivery of the courses will be communicated later. 

The course does not entitle students to either a grade in thirties or to receive CFU and cannot be included in the study plan; students may request a level certificate.

If you are a student enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme delivered in English or a PhD student and you wish to attend an Italian course, you must take part in the placement test, in order to be placed in the class appropriate to your Italian level.

If the level of the course is not appropriate, students in agreement with the teacher, may request their teacher to be moved to another level, within the first week of the course.

To receive the level certificate

For the issuance of the level certificate the payment of a 16 Euro stamp duty must be made: it will be the Settore sviluppo competenze linguistiche, after checking that the exam has been passed, to send the link to the virtual payment. After the student has paid the amount and sent the receipt of payment, the certificate will be issued.
