Italian term

offerta formativa

Italian to English Other Education / Pedagogy presentation of a new degree program at a university
This sentence appears in an email between colleagues at two different universities: one in Italy and one in the US.

a metà aprile iniziano le giornate di presentazione dell'offerta formativa dell'Università XXXX a studenti dei nostri corsi triennali e a studenti di altre unversità italiane.

I cannot find "educational offer" in any non-Italian site. I hesitate to use "training" (formativa) in the academic context. All suggestions welcome.

@ Janice You can always just give 1 or 2 points if you don't need the full term somebody provides.
philgoddard Mar 11, 2016:
You're welcome, but I didn't post an answer because I felt that at least some of the previous answers fit the context perfectly, like "provision" and "courses and tuition".
Janice Giffin (asker) Mar 11, 2016:
Thank you to everybody Thanks Laura and Barbara for your suggestions. I'm afraid none of them fit the context that I need. The one phrase I have found on the net is "course offerings" for many US universities...meaning the courses and programs that are available. I must than philgoddard indirectly for leading me to search for this phrase.

Course proposal / Course proposition

I have a US and a UK site as examples. Personally I like "proposition", which is actually on the UK link I provide.

I think you are correct not to want to use "training" or "educational". "Course" is a more general term and still fits well here IMO.
Example sentence:

"Whilst this has been taken on board by most Faculties there is no coherent central university policy or procedure which looks at ....., through initial COURSE PROPOSITION to formalised provision."

"COURSE PROPOSALS and changes are conducted online in the “Courses” tab on PioneerWeb. "

neutral philgoddard : No, it means "offering" in the sense of availability.
