The students from the Italian Language Department at the College of Languages, University of Baghdad, have successfully completed the second month of their Italian language and culture course at the University for Foreigners in Perugia, Italy.
These students quickly adapted and integrated effectively into the classrooms and various academic areas of the university. They relied on the foundational education they received in the Italian Language Department at the College of Languages, University of Baghdad, which enabled them to grasp the academic material available to them in Italy.
The Italian fellowship recipients from the Italian Language Department are currently in the process of finishing their third and final month at the University for Foreigners in Perugia. They are preparing for their final examination at the end of this month. Afterward, they will return to Baghdad and continue their studies at the fourth stage. This year, the second-stage students have completed their exams, and four of them have been nominated to continue their studies next year after completing the third stage at the same university in the city of Perugia.
