The official teaching language in UNIFI is Italian, therefore all courses and exams are in Italian.

• Certified B1 level of Italian is mandatory to attend courses held in Italian;
• Certified B2 level of English mandatory to attend courses held in English, if applicable.

Please note that, even if you enroll only in courses taught in English, knowledge of the Italian language corresponding to B1 level is strongly recommended for day-to-day life at the University and more generally in Florence.

If you don't provide your Italian language certificate when applying, you are accepted only on condition of showing it upon your arrival.

Otherwise you will be asked to attend  a language course in Firenze first of all, and only after that it you will be allowed to start with your program.

Incoming students can attend one Italian Language course without paying any fees. You can find all the information on the CLA website: CLA

The Italian Language Course is not an academic exam and it does not provide ECTS credits or marks, so it cannot be added to your Learning Agreement and it will not be certified in your final official Transcript of Records.

A B2 level of Italian is strongly recommended to successfully attend practical trainings.
