For students enrolling in the degree course from 2025
. The Study Manifesto envisages 3 CFUs in the 1st year to be acquired by passing a foreign language test at level B2 to be chosen from English (with the possibility of tutoring), French and German (with a self-study CLAT course), Spanish (without support or tutoring). The degree recognises certificates at the same level or higher.

.

For students enrolling in the degree course between 2017 and 2024 
. Two of the four credits reserved for other knowledge must be obtained by passing a B2 foreign language test at a level chosen from English, French, Spanish and German.

In the academic year 2025/2026, the English language course will be taught by Prof. Justin Rainey (go to teaching schedule).
Alternatively, you can follow the self-study online course offered by the University's Language Skills Development Sector (CLAT) and take the final test (which consists of a computer-based test). For career recognition purposes, you will have to forward the certificate of proficiency issued by CLAT to the teacher in charge of teaching code 108657 (Prof. Rainey).
Information about access to the online course is made available around mid-October each year on the Aulaweb "Notices and useful documents for students - HISTORICAL SCIENCES".
Information about the final test and how to issue the level certificate is available here: https://clat.unige.it/TestENB2 

If, on the other hand, you wish to take the B2 level test in a language other than English (a choice between French, Spanish and German), you should contact the teacher responsible:
Prof. Giaufret for the French test
Prof. Sanfelici for the Spanish test
Prof. Gerdes for the German test
. The B2 test will be given at the same time as the B1 test, according to the timetable established by the Humanities Boards, that is:
- one date at the beginning of January
- one date at the beginning of May
- one date in the first half of June
- one date in the first half of September
. The test consists of a computer-based test
. To prepare for the test you can take advantage of a self-study online course, which is currently only available for French and German. Information about access to online courses is made available around mid-October each year on the Aulaweb "Notices and useful documents for students - HISTORICAL SCIENCES".

N.B. The course recognises certificates of equal or higher level. If you have a valid certificate attesting to your knowledge of a foreign language, you can submit it to the Committee for the recognition of 'other' credits' or, in the case of English, to the teacher responsible for teaching 108657 B2 ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

max 2 CFU
(for the basic course, the advanced course or both)

Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) and the Tactile LIS (LISt) by the Italian State, this course aims to bring those who participate closer to the world of the LIS and the LISt; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual/tactile/textual channel. 

Lecturer responsible: Danilo Monteverde

The Course of Study recognises a maximum of 2 CFUs for the basic or intermediate level course, i.e. it is possible to apply for recognition in the other activities of only one module (basic or intermediate depending on one's starting level).

More information on class schedules and classrooms will be published in due course on the "News" section of this website.
