Intensive Italian Course

SUPSI offers a two-week intensive Italian course to students in the SEMP programme. The course is offered free of charge if the student attends at least 75% of the classes. Otherwise, the student will be charged the tuition fee of CHF500.

Other SUPSI students may attend the course, but at their own expense.

The course is generally held a couple of weeks before the start of each semester.

If you pass the final exam, a certificate of attendance will be provided. No ECTS will be recognised. All exams on the official courses are classified on scale 1 to 10, for language courses the evaluation is however expressed by a binary system (Pass or Fail).

If you are interested, please contact the International Office and fill in the Test Podium.
