The University of Bologna considers very important that all students have the opportunity to make the best of their study experience, and at the same time offer an experience of life in a new country.
In this experience, the Italian language is a tool that can simplify your life in many aspects, broaden relationships in our community, and foster your social life. At the end of your studying and living experience in Ravenna, the Italian language will improve your chances to enter the national job market.
The activity is COMPULSORY for international students with no previous knowledge of the Italian language. The corresponding activity (B3120) has to be registered in your study plan before graduation.
The course is offered for CEFR levels A1 and absolute beginners and it is designed to not interfere with other courses in your study plan and to allow you to organize your time autonomously.
For this reason it is delivered in blended mode and includes self-study online activities and synchronous online meetings with a tutor (once a week). There are 6 sessions per year.
To participate, you need to register for the course through Studenti Online by clicking on "Bookings".
Check the Calendar and the deadlines for registration on the University Language Center (CLA) website.
