The Language Center at CU University offers the internationally recognized Italian language exams of the Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri (PLIDA) at language levels A1 through C2.

• Who can take the exam?
• Students whose native language is not Italian;
• Italian citizens whose native language is Italian who live abroad and need proof of language proficiency for study, work, or other reasons.

With the PLIDA certificate, you can:

• enroll at an Italian university without having to take an Italian language entrance exam (level B2 or C1);
• clearly indicate your level of Italian on your resume and application forms;
• obtain a residence permit or long-term residence permit for non-EU citizens;
• register with a professional association to practice certain professions (e.g., medicine);
• obtain a valid alternative to the South Tyrolean bilingualism exam, as PLIDA is recognized by the South Tyrolean administration.

• The exam will be held at CU Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, Villach Campus (Europastraße 4, 9524 Villach).

Exam fees:
