- International PhD students enrolled at the University of Padova;
 
- Visiting PhD students.
 
- Professors and researchers employed at the University of Padova;
 
- Visiting professors, researchers and staff;

                    Italian courses free of charge
                
                
                    
                        
IMPORTANT : Attendance is free of charge.
Since places are limited, those who have never attended an Italian language course at the Language Center always receive priority.
Participants 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.
