Italian language courses are one of the most popular language classes taken by adult education learners.

The reason why Italian is a popular language to learn depends on who you are and on your motivation. You might be planning to visit Italy on holiday, or to settle in the country or do business with the Italian-speaking world. Or maybe you are just fascinated by Italian history and culture.

Whatever the reason, as a language Italian is spoken as the first language by 80 million people worldwide. In addition to Italy it is also the lingua franca in parts of Switzerland.

Whether you are a beginner in learning Italian, or you have some experience of speaking the language, the part-time Italian courses we offer at Imperial College, including beginner Italian classes for adults and more advanced classes for those with some experience of speaking Italian, are designed to help you develop your language skills quickly and effectively.

Except for our daytime Italian courses, our Italian classes are taught in the evening, making them ideal as Italian language courses for working professionals, but students on the Italian language programme come from many different backgrounds, from students and lecturers, to working people and retirees, as everyone is welcome.

The Imperial College Italian language programme is designed to help you get the most from the experience of learning a language, in a friendly and supportive environment. Classes are taught by expert Italian language tutors who have a great deal of experience delivering Italian language courses for adult education students, and they are the same tutors who deliver Italian language courses to students on the highly regarded undergraduate programme at Imperial College London.

In 2023 our adult education students rated our adult education courses as "excellent" with an overall score of 4.6 out of 5 in the student satisfaction survey.
