Bachelor's Degree Programme in
Language, Civilisation and the Science of Language

Additional Learning Requirement (OFA)

Performing your Italian language OFA

The degree programme in Language, Civilisation and the Science of Language requires an adequate knowledge of Italian, which is assessed by means of a multiple-choice TEST checking on your reading comprehension, knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, and ability to use Italian in specific contexts.
Two tests are scheduled during the first semester, as follows:

  • Saturday 9 November 2024, 10.30 a.m. -12.00 p.m. - Lecture Room 6A San Giobbe
  • Saturday 14 December 2024, 10.30 a.m. -12.00 p.m. - Lecture Room 6A San Giobbe

The test may only be taken once. To pass, a minimum of 75% correct answers is required. If you do not pass, you will be given an Additional Learning Requirement (OFA), which can be performed by sitting and passing the remedial course exam in the second semester.

Attending classes during the course for the Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) is not compulsory, but it is strongly recommended.
If you have obtained a score of 85/100 (52/60) or higher in the Italian state exam (esame di stato) or if you already have an Italian degree, you are exempt from sitting the Italian language test.
To sit the test, you have to register online from your personal area. Freshly enrolled first year students can register for the test after they have been assigned their six-digit student number (numero di matricola) and password to access their personal area.

If you sign up for the exam and then decide that you don’t want to sit it in the selected date, you can cancel your registration up to the registration deadline.

For further information on the Italian language tests, please contact Prof. Anna Cardinaletti - cardin@unive.it.

How to perform your OFA

In order to perform your OFA you must register for (online) and sit the LT0001 OFA Italian language exam. Please note that in order to register for any exam, you need to first finalise your study plan (piano di studi).

If you sign up for the exam and then decide that you don’t want to sit it in the selected date, you can cancel your registration up to the registration deadline.
Four exam sessions are scheduled:

  • two exam dates in the January exam session
  • one exam date in the June exam session;
  • one exam date in the August/September exam session.

Exams are oral. Exam dates will be published on the degree programme’s website. Follow: Study > Exams.

Failure to comply with the OFA

From 30 September of the year following the year of enrolment, it will not be possible to take any exams without first having completed the OFA in Italian. 

Only after passing the exam and the related verbalization will it be possible to take the exams on the second exam date in the case of sessions involving two exam sessions or in the following exam session.

The student who enrolls in a year subsequent to the first, as in cases of transfer, internal transfer or enrollment with credit recognition, will not be able to take exams until the OFA has been completed.
