Why study in Italy

You should study in Italy as an international student because the country speaks several languages: in addition to its recognized proficiency in the languages of architecture, arts, design, and fashion, Italy is also quite proficient in the languages of research and science.

Due to outstanding scientists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei, inventors of the scientific method, Italy has developed a huge expertise in applied sciences since the founding of the first modern university in Europe in Bologna in 1088. Guglielmo Marconi was laying the groundwork for what would become wireless communication years later, when the modern world was learning the language of industrialization. Italy built the first commercial desktop computer, the P101, and soon after, Italian physicist Federico Faggin invented the first commercial microprocessor.

Italy demonstrates its fluency in physics, thanks to amazing individuals like as Fabiola Giannotti, who directed the effort that led to the discovery of the Higgs Boson, and in neurology, thanks to the brilliant neurophysiologist Giacomo Rizzolatti’s discovery of mirror neurons.

Such extraordinary achievements are the consequence of an exceptional educational system built on solid foundations, a rigorous scientific method, and a creative approach that fosters critical thinking, flexibility, and problem-solving abilities. The Maria Montessori method and the Reggio Children approach are two groundbreaking approaches to child-centered education that have been implemented in over 20,000 schools throughout the world.

It all began in the arcades of Italian universities, which have long been fueled by a desire for research and development. With a concentration on biology, natural sciences, physics, pharmacy, medicine, mathematics, and computer science, Italy has the greatest rate of academic publications on high-quality research journals in Europe. Italian researchers and professors are highly valued and hired at some of the world’s most prestigious universities.

Italy will educate you more than Italian, with 61 dynamic public universities, 30 private universities, and 11 public research organizations, pioneering university programs, AFAM (Centers for higher artistic education), and 339 English-language courses.
