Studying in Italy offers a unique academic experience steeped in history and tradition, as Italian universities are among the oldest in the world. Unlike the discussion-based teaching prevalent in North America and Northern Europe, Italy’s higher education system is more formal, with most instruction taking place in grand lecture halls. Students are expected to dedicate significant hours to self-study in preparation for examinations, which are primarily oral and spread over a flexible period, allowing students to choose their exam dates.

Italy’s adherence to the Bologna Process ensures a cohesive and internationally recognized degree system, spanning Bachelor’s (3 years), and Master’s (2 years).

In Italy, international students can access fully funded scholarship opportunities.

In Italy, international students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and up to 40 hours per week during university holidays.
