The 2021/22 second semester courses will start in the third week of October 2021.
NB: Courses will be held Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 18.30 pm

Courses are structured as follows: 4 hours of lessons per week (2 hours twice a week), for a total of 40 hours in class, plus 10 hours of obligatory autonomous learning.
The first course and the final test are free. You should provide your own copy of the textbook by yourself.
You can attend only one course for free. If you wish to attend any additional course, the cost is €102,00

Below you can find the topics that will be covered in each course level:

• Pre A1 courses
• A1 courses
• A2 courses
• B1 courses
• B2 courses
• C1 courses

In order to be able to choose the most suitable level for you, you have to take the mandatory self-evaluation test during the enrolment procedure.

We also advise you to check the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages self-assessment grids and to read the course promrammes you can find in the previous section.

Registration to the courses is mandatory.

The teachers may decide to move you to another level for teaching/learning reasons.

Depending on your timetable requirements, choose one of the available courses of your level and confirm the class.

The number of courses provided at each level will depend on the number of students who sign up.

At the end of the course, you will take a proficiency test (pass mark 60/100).

You have to attend a minimum of 70% of the 40 hours  (28 hours) and all the 10 hours of obligatory autonomous learning in order to be entitled to do the final test.

Erasmus Plus and Bilateral Agreement students who pass the final test will receive 3 ECTS credits recognised by the University of Padova only at the end of the first course. If you attend a second course you will not receive any additional credits.

At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of attendance.

If you do not show up for the course within the third lesson, you will no longer be able to attend a course.

If you decide not to continue the course you are attending, please write an e-mail to the Students’ Office using the form below and inform the course teacher within the first two weeks of the course.

Students enrolled at the University of Padova have free access to the multimedia materials for autonomous study. The materials are available at the Language Center Multimedia Library or in our website.
