Study in Italy

Students in the Italian Studies program experience Bologna as both their classroom and their home. Courses taught in Italian are complemented by opportunities to engage directly with the city and its residents through cultural activities, community engagement and other experiential learning opportunities.

Students may also enroll in courses at the University of Bologna, one of Europe's oldest and most distinguished universities. University courses provide an opportunity to study alongside Italian and international students and to experience the Italian university system firsthand.

Life outside the classroom is an essential part of the program. Students use Italian in their daily lives, develop greater independence and intercultural competence, and gain perspectives on contemporary Italy that cannot be acquired solely through classroom study.

Here are some of the videos that were filmed to promote the Italian Studies program in Bologna:
