ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES

The University of Pavia Language Centre  organises Italian courses three times a year; in September, October and February. The first course cycle is intensive and lessons are from Monday to Friday/Saturday morning or afternoon. The second cycle and the third cycle are less intensive and usually run three times per week in the evening. Italian courses are mainly aimed at Erasmus students, exchange scholarship students and students enrolled at Pavia University, but are also available to anyone who is interested in learning Italian. Students’ language skills will be assessed at the beginning of every session with a test which will help the teachers to place students in a suitable level.
