The University Language Centre organizes 30-hour intensive courses free of charge for Erasmus+ grant winners for those who wish to learn/improve the language of the destination country. The courses are also open to students (already winners) participating in other types of exchange agreements (including double degrees): in these cases consistent with the dates and deadlines already foreseen for courses intended for Erasmus out winners.
Each student may participate in one course (except in the event of any vacancies in courses in the following period).
Courses periods: usually in the late spring/summer period, from the end of May to 30 September (excluding August). The total duration of the course is 30 academic hours, spread over 3-5 weeks.
Languages: English, French, German, Portuguese*, Spanish.
Certificates: at the end of the course students who have attended at least 70% of the lessons receive a certificate of attendance, NOT stating their proficiency level.
Online placement test – The possibility to register for courses is subject to an online placement test. Only absolute beginners are exempt from taking the test. The test is available within the link provided for each language and will be visible after completing the registration form.

PORTUGUESE
- There is no online placement test since usually the level of most students is beginner
- It is planned possibly to activate a course at a level higher than beginner if there are enough requests (at least 10), to be indicated in the registration form.
- Only for Portuguese, the certificate of attendance issued at the end of the course will also contain an indication of the level achieved by the individual student and can serve as a level certificate to be presented at the destination institution. The level will be assessed with a small profit test scheduled at the end of the course.
Tests and level certificates: students who need a level certificate to submit to the destination university must take the TAL in one of the sessions available for Erasmus out winners. The level tests and language courses are two separate and independent activities.
