SERVICES FOR THE DEGREE COURSE

Evaluation tests
Evaluation tests are freely available on line on the University Website for the following foreign languages: French, English, Spanish and German, as well as tests for Latin. Passing these tests ensures that students have the minimum linguistic competences required to then take the Foreign Language Tests attesting to their knowledge of the language and follow the lessons on Latin Language and Literature which are part of their Plan of Studies.

Bridging courses
The Faculty offers students two preparatory courses: English (Language) and Latin (Language). The English course is meant for those students who were not up to standard in the evaluation tests and those who do not have the necessary competences in English to take the compulsory English Test. The Latin preparatory course is mainly for students who have no knowledge of this language. Students with a basic knowledge of the language but who during their high school education did not reach the level of competence required by the university may also attend the Latin preparatory course.

Tutoring
The Faculty offers a tutoring service involving teaching staff, tutors and fellow students. The aim is to assist and advise students in their studies. In particular, help is given to newly-enrolled students in the weeks just before lessons start and assistance is given as regards transfers from vecchio ordinamento to nuovo ordinamento, and from other universities or other degree courses. Advice is given also as regards the student’s choice of specialization and his study and training projects.

Training
Various opportunities are offered which are linked to the student's training and thesis topic. These are the result of collaboration between the University and host companies or public bodies, both of which aim to identify the trainee's objectives, plan the activities to be undertaken by the trainee (backed up and supervised by the university teaching staff and tutors) and outline the end result.

International relations
The Faculty has implemented collaboration and international exchanges with the Universities of Barcelona, Perpignan, Geneva, Leeds, Paris (Paris XII – Val de Marne) ...
