• International students with a foreign qualification and enrolled at the University of Genoa in degree COURSES taught IN ITALIAN

Students with a foreign qualification enrolled in three-year or five-year degree courses at the University of Genoa taught in Italian must take a Test of knowledge of the Italian language

Italian courses for international students enrolled in degree courses taught in Italian are reserved for those enrolled in the first year who passed the A2 level Italian test but failed the B2 level in one of the fall sessions of the TE.L.E.MA.CO tests (September – November 2024).

Students who enrol at the University of Genoa after December 1st, 2024, will not have access to any Italian course taught by a teacher organised by the University.
Students who enrol after December 1st, 2024 can only take online Italian B1 or B2 self-study courses (without the support of a lecturer) by writing to: clat@unige.it

Students enrolled again in the first year as repeat students will not be placed in any Italian course.

Students enrolled by November 30th 2024 will receive an email by Settore Sviluppo Competenze Linguistiche (clat@unige.it) with instructions to attend the Italian course in which they have been placed depending on the results of the B2 test.

Courses are of 40 hours and 80 hours (depending on the results of the test) and attendance is compulsory: students are required to attend at least 50 percent of the course hours to be eligible for the final exam.

As written above, students who fail the final exam must take again the Italian test on the scheduled dates (see further, Italian tests schedule a.y. 2024/25).

Students who failed to achieve the required standard in Italian (OFA), may complete the first-year exams, but will not be able to fill out the study plan for the second year, until they pass the Italian test: they will then have to enrol in the first year as repeat students and take the test until they pass it.
