It is available an online preparatory Italian language course of three months (June_August), delivered through the ICoN platform, and that all the students can take before starting classes in September.In particular, absolute beginner students, with no knowledge of Italian language, are warmly recommended to attend this preparatory course. B1 level of Italian language knowledge is the minimum level required to get FC diploma. We have experienced the difficulties that international students can have in learning Italian.
