LANGUAGE CLASSES
Students will have 18-20 hours per week of Italian language classes, Monday through Friday mornings under the auspices of Lingua Ideale. Students who successfully complete this month-long intensive language course can receive college credit through the University of Urbino. ​
Lingua Ideale is a university center of Italian language and culture for international students: it was born back in 2011 as a spin-off company of the University of Urbino Carlo Bo.​
​
The classes are held in the historical city center of Urbino, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Students are responsible for arranging credit through their own university. Since each institution has its own transfer credit process, you may be required to pay your university directly for the transfer of those credits. Any such additional costs are the student’s responsibility and are not covered by payments made to Musica nelle Marche.

The hotel proprietors enjoy our students and do their best to make the stay extra special.
