(degree seekers)
The Language Centre (CLA) organises Italian language courses for international students (degree-seekers) enrolled at University of Padova.
The courses cover levels from Pre-A1 to C1 of the CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and are aimed at:
- International students (degree-seekers) enrolled at the University of Padova.
- Visiting students working on their thesis at the University of Padova.
Italian courses free of charge
IMPORTANT: Attendance is free of charge.
Since places are limited, students who have never attended an Italian language course at the Language Center always receive priority.
Students who have already attended a course (regardless of the type and duration) will be able to enroll in a further course, but if places run out they will be placed on a waiting list, which will be scrolled in the event of withdrawals/no shows.
Only specific categories of students can take up to three free courses:
– political refugees;
– students who have to pass Italian A2 test (TAL) within their study plan;
– students of Medicine and Surgery;
– students of Scuola Galileiana;
– students of Languages, Literature and Cultural Mediation.
