Languages of Instruction

Unicollege is a language-based university that provides 10 languages of instruction – that span from Arabic and Korean to Portuguese and Japanese.

Nevertheless, English is the official language of instruction for any Study Abroad program. Candidates wishing to learn or integrate another language can check the effective activation of the language course in the given semester with the University – which, if indeed activated, will therefore count towards their credit recognition and validation.

For its Study Abroad programs, Unicollege designed ad hoc courses of Italian language that provide all 6 levels of proficiency (from A1 to C2) – see the School of ‘Italian Language, Culture, Society & Identity Dante Alighieri’ and the department of ‘Italian Language’ (ITLAN). In addition, it also offers courses of applied Italian (language and culture), where candidate hybridize both language and cultural skills under the ‘Italian Studies’ department (ITSTU).

Enrollment in such courses may provide either language or academic prerequisites – indicated in the course description.

Academic Load, Status & Visa Requirements

In reference to international academic regulations, undergraduate candidates that complete:

  • A minimum quorum of 12 credits/semester hold the status of “full time students”
  • Less than 12 credits/semester hold the status of “part time students.”

When candidates apply for a study visa, a minimum quorum of 12 credits (per semester) is required.

While the obtainment of a visa for study can be finalized by individual students – or via the assistance of dedicated agencies or third parties – Unicollege provides ad hoc services throughout the process upon payment of a fee. Candidates seeking assistance for their visa via Unicollege should contact the Institution in due time for further information and details.
