Academic Courses Offering
1. Italian Language Course
We don't want our students to be tourists, but rather citizens of Florence. The whole city is our Campus: this is the reason why we offer Italian Language as the Florence Experience Foundation Course (required up to 6 ECTS/4 US Credits).
Italian Language is divided into 6 levels. Students will be placed in the class corresponding to their level after Placement test upon arrival. Italian Language can also be chosen as the second course option up to 12 ECTS / 8 US Credits.
