Study In Italy (IT)
Why study in Italy?
Praising Italy might be the most complicated thing in the world: where do you even start? Do you mention a bunch of famous Italians, like da Vinci, Borgia, Versace, and Vivaldi? Or just mention the fields they revolutionised, like Architecture, Music, Engineering, and Fashion?
I could just focus on the brilliant landscapes and the UNESCO World Heritage sites, or how awesome Italian people are, with their pastas, wines, and signature hand gesture, but it would be redundant.
Bottom line is simply: Italy is awesome!
Summary of Information
Here are our top reasons why you should study in the Italy
Italian universities are affordable
When compared to their Western counterparts, Italian public universities are incredibly affordable. If you come from an EU/EEA country, you won’t pay more than 4,000 EUR per year, and you can easily find much cheaper study programmes.
Non-EU/EEA citizens enjoy the same tuition rates in some cases, but in others they do pay more — which is why you should always check what tuition applies to students from your country.
Impressive higher education experience
The University of Bologna is the oldest university in Europe, having been established in 1088. That means it is almost 1,000 years old and still alive and kicking today!
Bologna is also the name of the process used by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to create a more coherent, uniform, and attractive education system.
Many European countries follow this system. If you study at one university implementing it, your diploma will be recognised in any other country that’s part of the programme.
All in all, we’d say that Italy knows a thing or two about higher education and has a long and rich experience in this field.
Italy is at the forefront of fashion and architecture
One visit to Italy is enough to understand why it is considered a leader in terms of fashion, arts, and architecture. Milan is the stand out city, as one of the 4 fashion capitals of the world.
As for architecture, going through the charming Italian cities will reveal to you the beauty and unique style of buildings, which seem to have been lost in the process of developing the modern architecture.
Enjoy the Mediterranean climate
The warm sun, the sea breeze, the tasty fruits and vegetables — all are essential elements of the Mediterranean lifestyle, which is highly regarded for its health and wellness benefits.
Sardinia, for example, is one of the few “Blue Zones” in the world, where people often reach over 90 years of age.
Visit amazing and time defying historic sites
When you’re not in classes, take the time to visit some of the oldest and most impressive historic sites in Europe. From the Colosseum to the Pantheon, from the Valley of the Temples to Ostia Antica — all these places still carry their aura of former glory, an aura that can still be felt and explored nowadays.
