˕ Learning languages
at “Centro Linguistico di Ateneo”
The Language Center (Centro Linguistico di
Ateneo - CLA) is the official structure of the
University of Florence. CLA offers courses at
various levels in different languages throughout
the academic year. It also offers customized one-
to one tuition for specific needs. Students with
international study grants (Erasmus and similar)
can attend, during their stay, one Italian language
course free of charge, starting from A2 level.
˕ International Relations Office
(Coordinamento per le Relazioni Internazionali)
The International Relations Office is a specific
unit of the Central Administration which pro-
motes the internationalization of the research
and teaching activities. It provides services to
support incoming foreign visitors and academics
(Welcome Service). It promotes international
collaborations through the signing of cultural and
scientific cooperation agreements with foreign
universities.
˕ International Desk
The Foreign Students Desk provides a first point
of contact for all prospective non-E.U. students
residing abroad, who intend to enrol in a degree
program. The Desk also manages the enrolment
of students coming from abroad within the
framework of a non-Erasmus Plus exchange
agreement and spending a semester or year
abroad through registration for single courses.
The Desk manages applications for the recogni-
tion of foreign academic degrees, awarded by a
foreign State or legally accredited university, in
order to be able to enrol in a first cycle (bache-
lor’s) degree, a single cycle degree or a second
cycle (master’s) degree offered by the University
of Florence.
˕ International student mobility
The student mobility office promotes and orga-
nizes outgoing international student mobility
under the Erasmus plus programme. It also
organizes the Erasmus traineeship and extra-EU
student mobility, under different financing
schemes.
˕ Multicultural Tutors
The multicultural tutors combine their subject
area expertise, with the necessary language and
cultural skills to communicate with foreign stu-
dents in their own language, and work towards
creating self-motivated independent students.
They help their peers to adjust to a different en-
vironment, by providing both academic and non
academic support.
