Bologna
Do you want to learn Italian in a beautiful and historic city, with a reputation for being a centre for both Italian culture and academic excellence? If the answer is yes, then Bologna is the perfect location for you! Sitting in the Po Valley, Bologna is a very typically ‘Italian’ city, with several nicknames that perfectly describe the city’s character. The first, ‘La dotta’, means ‘the learned one’ and refers to the fact that Bologna is home to the oldest university in the world. The second, ‘La Grassa’, is a reference to the city’s fantastic cuisine and means ‘the fat one’. Finally, ‘La Rossa’ means ‘the red one’ and refers to the ochre colour of many of the city’s buildings and roofs.

Accommodation
If you wish to fully immerse yourself in the Italian language and culture, then you may like to consider host family accommodation! We always recommend this accommodation type, as your host family will encourage you to speak Italian with them! When staying with a carefully selected host family you can choose either bed and breakfast or half board accommodation. If you would prefer to live a little more independently, then our school also offers self-catered shared student house or shared apartment accommodation. We are also able to arrange B&B or hotel accommodation for you.
Activities
The extensive activities programme at our school in Bologna includes Italian film screenings, guided walking tours of Bologna, guided visits to museums and art galleries, cooking classes, meals at typical Bolognese restaurants, parties and wine tasting sessions, amongst many others! These are all offered to provide you with the opportunity to explore Bologna, discover Italian culture and, of course, to practice your Italian outside of the classroom! The school also arranges regular excursions to other places of interest, such as Verona, San Marino, Parma, Florence, Venice and Siena!
We would be happy to arrange airport transfers for you, although these are not included in the course price.
