Applications are closing soon for students who are keen to kick off the new year with ‘la dolce vita’, a month-long language intensive at the Rome Campus.
This is the second time the course has been offered, after a successful trial earlier this year.
The month-long language intensive is open to students from any discipline at ACU as an elective or part of the popular Diploma in Languages.
The first intensive included a diverse group of ACU students across education, nursing, business and the arts. More than a quarter of the inaugural group of students are now enrolled in a Diploma and continuing their language studies.
The summer intensive offers a range of cultural experiences beyond the classroom, giving students an authentic taste of life in Rome.
"The feedback we got from the first group of students was so positive," Dr Menicucci said.
"They have language classes in the morning and then a practical language-based task each day - they might have to go to a café, order a meal in Italian or make purchases in the language at the market or visit a bookshop."
"They also had a range of cultural experiences, like the audience with the Pope, visiting sites like the Colosseum, the ancient markets and weekend trips to places like Pompeii, Florence and Venice.
"We were also involved in community engagement activities with local charities, which gave the students a chance to give back."
Just three kilometres from the Vatican City, ACU's Rome Campus is centrally located near Rome's ancient heart, Trastevere.
Students can combine the Italian language intensive with the ACU Semester in Rome (ACUSiR) program, which allows students to take their studies to the Eternal City for a semester.
Please advise students that expressions of interest for the summer language intensive close on 1 September.
For more information, they should visit ACU Rome Campus - Student Portal.
