Our courses are designed by the University of Cagliari's Language Centre and ISMOKA to immerse participants in the Italian language and culture and improve their language skills helped by our Italian teachers. And to help students who wants to register or do an exchange period at the Cagliari University.

Although the main topic of the course has a linguistic character, we believe the best outcome can be reached by connecting the Italian language programme with some laboratories about Sardinian culture that will allow participants to become familiar with Italian traditions and way of life.

There are 5 different levels for the language courses: beginner, A1, A2, B1,B2, C1, Each course lasts 2 weeks and it's possible to apply for one or all courses:

• 1st course: 02/07/12 - 13/07/12
• 2nd course: 17/07/12 - 27/07/12
• 3rd course: 03/09/12 - 14/09/12
• 4th course: 17/09/12 - 28/09/12

Application deadline: 31st MAY 2012.

The total programme fee is 150,00 Euros (without accommodation). We reserve a 20% reduction on the admission fee to Erasmus and exchange students, PhD students, scholarship's holders and staff training.

For every 5 students coming from one University, 1 staff member comes for free!

The Italian language and culture program is internationally acknowledged and recognized, successful participants will be given 6 ECTS. Our University is a recognized Certifying Center authorized by the PLIDA Head Office and our summer courses are also preparatory for the PLIDA certificate exam.

Sardinia is a well known tourist destination attracting more and more tourists thanks to its beautiful beaches and sea. The Italian Language course of the University of Cagliari offers participants the possibility to enjoy a wonderful holiday while learning or improving Italian, thus mixing business with pleasure.

I would be pleased if you could promote this opportunity within your consulate through any possible channel.
