To obtain the 3 credits, students must attend at least 70% of a course and pass the final test.
Students can attend:

An intensive Italian course in September, February or July – level must be at least A2.
Intensive courses consist in 25 hours of classes and exercises, organised within 2 weeks.

A biannual Italian course during the first or second semester – level must be at least A2.
Biannual courses consist in 50 hours of classes and self-study, organised throughout the semester (2 meetings of 2 hours each per week).


Credits will be registered by the end of March for students who complete a biannual course in the first semester or an intensive course in September or February, by the end of June for students who complete a biannual course in the second semester.

2. PASSING AN ITALIAN LANGUAGE TEST AT A2 LEVEL

The TAL A2 Linguistic Ability Test of Italian is a test that evaluates receptive skills (listening and reading) for the A2 level of competence in academic contexts.
To register for the test it is not mandatory to take a course, but to prepare it is strongly suggested that students complete the activities in the Italian TAL A2 preparation course available completely online for self-study.
