Free Italian-language course for university students with international or special protection ~ UNIPI

The Ministry of Universities and Research (MUR) and the Società Dante Alighieri (SDA) are promoting the second edition of free Italian-language courses aimed at university students with international or special protection status.

The initiative is reserved for students, researchers and professors (e.g. visiting professors) studying or working at a university, conservatory, academy of fine arts or research centre belonging to the MUR network.

The project offers Italian-language programmes from A1 to B2 CEFR level, with staggered admission according to the entry competence profile.

The courses are delivered online within the digital educational environment Dante.global, enabling students to acquire the linguistic and civic skills necessary to pursue their academic careers and to promote integration into Italian society.

The course ends in November 2025 with the free language certification exam PLIDA B1 and B2 CEFR levels, recognised internationally.

Applications must be completed by 31 March 2025 on the Project Page.
