The teaching activities for studying languages offered by the Language Centre include curricular courses for all languages(*) at the following levels:
- first language: business C1 and B2
- second language: business B2 and B1
(*) Curricular courses of Portuguese are no longer included in the educational offer for the 2010-2011 a. y. However, a guideline to prepare for the final exam has been published on the website site at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Language Teaching.
The course level to be attended is determined when finalizing the enrolment. This is based on the student's language skills which can be certified by either the exit level achieved during the undergraduate degree or the international certification that has been obtained in the meantime and recognized by Università Bocconi. The lowest level course will be assigned if students have not handed in adequate documentation supporting their language level.

Curricular courses last one year of studies. Each course begins at the start of the II semester in the first year and finishes at the end of the I semester in the second year for a total of 72 hours of lessons.
Attendance at curricular courses is not compulsory but strongly recommended; attending courses is considered the most effective way of learning the language and preparing for the final exam.
Students enrolled in the course are encouraged to attend. An in-dept individual study is also recommended.
Active participation at curricular courses and individual study may award a maximum of 2 extra points which are included in the calculation of the exam grade (detailed information is given in the course syllabuses and exam requirements for each language and is available on the Internet site at www.unibocconieu/languagecentre in Language Teaching>Curricular activities).
The class timetable can be viewed on the yoU@B, for first year students after finalizing the enrolment, for second year students after enrolling in their year of studies.
The summarized course programs (course profiles) of the language modules are available on the website at www.unibocconi.eu/courses.
The detailed course programs (course syllabuses and exam requirements) are available on the website at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre.
