How do I become part of your mailing list?
You are automatically added to our mailing list when you purchase a membership. If you would like to come to some of our open events as a non-member, you are still welcome to join our mailing list to hear about all the events we are planning. To join the mailing list as a non-member, send us an email (italy.society@studentclubs.ox.ac.uk).
Italian Classes
Whether you haven’t ever touched on Italian and would like to learn the basics or you are a native-like speaker that wishes to keep your Italian well lubricated, we have something for you!
How many levels of language learning do you offer?
We offer beginners, intermediate and advanced classes. You are welcome to start in one class and then move to a different one if you realise it’s too easy/hard.
How many classes do you offer a term and when are they?
We offer one 60-minute classes per week, amounting to eight a term. The date is chosen considering the availability of the teacher and the students, and the time is generally late afternoons or evenings.
How do I sign up for a class?
Purchase a lesson pack (£12 per term for members, £20 for non-members) on FIXR.
Events Tickets
Each term, we host a range of exciting socials as well as careers and speakers events.
Where can I buy events tickets?
You’ll be able to purchase a ticket to one of our events on our FIXR page: there, you’ll find a specific post about each event.
What happens if I can't make it to an event anymore after having bought a ticket?
If you have bought a ticket for an event, but later on realise you can’t make it anymore, send us an email (italy.society@studentclubs.ox.ac.uk) before the start of the event. No refund will be issued for refund requests received after the start of the event.
In addition, we might not be able to issue a refund if we depend on an external provider with whom we are committed (e.g. if we pre-book at a restaurant, or have to order specific supplies in advance, whose quantity is dependent on the number of participants). If this is the case, we will try to find someone to transfer your ticket to and arrange for the two of you to transfer the ticket and settle its cost, though this will be dependent on the demand for the event.
If your request is accepted, please note that will refund the price of your ticket, although we won’t be able to refund the FIXR booking fee.
