The Institutional Center for Languages and Translation (NILT/SINTER) promotes the third edition of the course “Ways and perspectives of studying in Italy – reading and understanding Calls for Application in Italian language”. The classes will take place from 4 to 31 May and registrations are open until 30 April. The course totals 20 hours.

The initiative seeks to equip the academic community (undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff) and the community in general with the ability to understand Calls for Applications for scholarships in Italian educational institutions. Given the offer of Italian government scholarships for undergraduate exchange, graduate research and cultural exchanges, it is intended that students, at the end of this course, will be able to: 1) easily locate Calls for Applications for Italian government scholarships; 2) understand the Italian higher education system; 3) know the main Italian proficiency tests; 4) recognize characteristics of a Call for Applications, in Italian; 5) autonomously fill in registration forms.

The synchronous classes will take place on the Moodle Groups Platform on 11, 18 and 25 May (Wednesdays), from 10 am to 11:30 am. The course is organized into four learning modules: the first module presents the question “Why study in Italy?” and gives a brief presentation of the Italian higher education system, the division of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the main Italian language certifications; in the second and third modules, a Call for Applications from the Italian government offered by the Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale (MAECI) will be presented, with vocabulary exploration and instrumentalization on aspects of the Italian language; finally, in the fourth module, there will be a presentation on how to fill in the main data in application forms and equivalency requests, in addition to basic information about student visas. Participants are not required to have previous knowledge of the Italian language and it is important to note that the Call for Applications promoted by the Italian Government has an age restriction.
