Study in Italy
ITALY STUDENT VISA
Italy is known for some of the oldest universities in the world. The country offers numerous options for international students and provides a choice between institutions that include state universities, private universities, and technical universities. The institutes follow a five-year education system with 3 years for a bachelor’s degree and 2 years for a master’s degree.
The universities in Italy offer four categories of courses:
- University diploma
- Bachelor of Arts/ Science
- Research doctorate
- Diploma of Specialization
Italy like all the other European countries follows the Bologna system.
ITALIAN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
Though international students can enroll for courses taught in English, it is beneficial if they learn the Italian language. This will help them communicate with the local community and get familiar with the local culture.
Student accommodation and living costs:
Accommodation costs like rental rates are higher in bigger cities than in smaller cities. When choosing to study here students must consider living costs that include food, transportation, and social activities. Again, these costs are higher in bigger cities like Milan and Rome.
