The first French classes of Volta were run thanks to the commitment of Giulia Bonarettti, a distinguished undergraduate and later a graduate member of Volta.
The growing interest of Volta undergraduates in Erasmus placements and notably at French Universities and Research Institutes has been the major drive toward formal, College-based French Courses. French is a language widely spoken in France and a number of other countries in Africa, the Middle East and the Far East and it is the language in which outstanding contributions to European literature, phisophy and science were made.
The College is specially pleased therefore to be able to offer one level of French (DELF level B2). This will increase awareness of the weight of French language and culture in the edfice of the European and western world at large, will surely expand the contacts between French academic Institutions and Pavia and will enable more students from Volta to study at French Universities.
Details of the current arrangements toward French Courses can be found at this other web page.
