The Foundation Year
The Foundation Year Program is a preparatory course taught in Italian targeting students who want to study at an Italian university.
In particular, the Foundation Year Program is meant for those students who do not meet the 12-years-of-schooling requirement and/or other specific requirements necessary for enrolling in a university degree program in Italy.
This program is also suitable for those students who are learning Italian for the first time or want to improve their Italian language proficiency, along with expanding their knowledge of core subjects of the study area they are interested in.
