English - A general English course and diverse preparation courses for certification exams are active. All our teachers are highly qualified, native English speaker, and able to teach English as foreign language.Thanks to a dynamic and flexible didactic method, it is always possible to follow programmes that satisfy each personal need, and to learn in effective and amusing manner.

Spanish - In this case as well, there is a general Spanish course and some preparation courses for exams. The University avails itself of the mother tongue teachers and of the methodology that distinguishes the didactics of the Link Campus.

Arabic - Arabic is the language of great importance, not only as for the political-economic relationships connecting 22 countries in the League of Arab States to the others in the international community. It is also an essential vehicle to know a community with common values and traditions, which historically the occidental cultures continue to confront with. Today Arabic is spoken by more than 300 million people and takes the fifth place in the world followed by French and German. There is more: Arabic is also one of the official languages of the United Nations. Our course does not merely have a didactic objective, but especially cultural one, in hopes of constructing a bridge of knowledge and a reciprocal respect between the Occident and the Arab world.

Chinese - Marco Polo visited China in 1271 and described a rich Orient with a florid cultural heritage in his book The Million. In the course of centuries China has changed, it is different. After the WTO and the spacerockets, the Olympic games will take place there in 2008, too; with this economic boom China is close. So, the new challenge is to learn Chinese, which is a very rich, fascinating and poetic language - spoken by more than a milliard of people. Everyone thinks Chinese is difficult to learn; exactly for this reason, it is an interesting learning asset.

Italian for foreigners - Our teaching method takes full account of modern didactics and is oriented towards the Foreign Language Concept of the Council of Europe and the Guidelines of the Accademia Italiana di Lingua (AIL). We have developed an open, flexible and interactive method of teaching, drawing on our years of experience, our understanding of the cognitive process of language learning, and our continual reflection on the desires and interests of our students. You'll learn Italian as you learnt your native language - through practice and continuous communication. We adapt our method to meet both individual student needsand the demands of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
