ProLingua International — ProLingua HUB
Rosetta Stone Partner for Higher Education
Founded in Rome in 1992, ProLingua International designs and delivers language training for universities, public administrations and international institutions in 25 languages. Since 1992, it has supported more than 21,000 learners, with over 1,200 participants every year.
As a Rosetta Stone partner for Higher Education, ProLingua does not simply resell licences. ProLingua HUB combines the Rosetta Stone learning engine with ProLingua content specifically developed for individual degree programmes, bringing everything together into a single guided learning pathway.
You define the rules governing the pathway — how students are profiled and assigned, how often inactive learners are prompted, what counts as “completed”, and whether a final certificate requires an examination. If required, the system can also be managed at the level of an individual department or lecturer.
Students access the platform using their university institutional credentials, while reporting and performance data are made available directly to the institution.
And our work goes beyond teaching. Between the 2021/22 and 2025/26 academic years, our computer-based language proficiency examinations were taken more than 8,700 times by over 6,900 students across three university language centres.
Come and meet us at our stand — former Collegio di Musica, Piazza Lauro de Bosis 6, ground floor — for a live demonstration of the Language Centre dashboard or to discuss a pilot project for your own University Language Centre.
