Università per Stranieri di Perugia
Highly Flexible Course ProgramsThe University pares academic regulation to make it easy for students to enroll. Admission requirements for the ordinary courses are few, and there is no ceiling on age. One teacher remembers a bright eighty-year old who was the star of the class. The five ordinary course levels in the Faculty of Italian Language and Culture are open to foreign citizens and Italians living outside Italy.
Most courses last three months, but the University has a remarkably flexible program that allows students to accumulate attendance a month at a time, rather that consecutively. The program is something like a continuous railway system: you can hop on and off as you please, just so long as you observe the monthly module. And you can register any month of the year. Each year, four of the monthly modules end in a noncompulsory exam session, at which students can earn a completion certificate and gain admission to a higher course level. The system makes it easy for students to take time out to explore Italy and put their newly learned Italian to use.
Learn Italian on Vacation
The University also offers foreigners a different and rewarding way to spend an Italian vacation by scheduling intensive one-month courses from July through September. Organized on five levels of proficiency, they have more class hours per week than the three-month courses; limited enrollment ensures that classes are small. No matter how long their courses last, students can make the most of their stay in Perugia without wasting time on logistics. The University assists them with orientation, helps them find lodgings, offers medical assistance, and busy programs of social and cultural events and organizes excursions.
