Summer intensive on-campus Italian courses
Ca’ Foscari School for International Education (also known as CFSIE) will offer intensive Italian language and culture courses in the summer to provide an effective and consolidated manner to start or keep on learning Italian. The intensive course calendar will allow students to complete in over just a few weeks a learning process of Italian language embracing both linguistic and cultural features. Erasmus and international students enrolled in Ca’ Foscari, members of partner universities, but also those who are lovers of the Italian language and culture, as well as of Venice, will find these courses an invaluable instrument for a communicative approach to Italian language learning.

How to enrol
If you wish to sign up for one of our Italian courses please fill out this form and read carefully the requested information. It is very important to indicate your correct residency address, including street name and number, zip code and country of residency.
If you are a first time SIE user, please upload your ID (identity document) and a passport-sized picture of yours.
You are also requested to indicate your status (student, PhD student, professor, etc) so we can determine the right fee. It is also necessary to upload a document certifying that what you have declared is true.
If you think your level is over A1, please upload an internationally recognized certificate providing evidence of the Italian skills you have acquired so far. The certificate must be one of these: CILS, PLIDA, CELI or ROMA TRE, otherwise you will have to take a placement test with instructions that will be forwarded at a second stage.
