The Higher Education System

Italy has a very long tradition in higher education. It is the country
where the first and among the most important European Universities
were founded during the Middle-ages. Moreover, it has played an
important role in European higher education reform as it was
engaged to create the so-called European Area of Higher Education,
which is being implemented all over Europe. Italy has become one of
the country in which there has been a significant growth in number
of international students.

Academic Calendar

The academic year in Italy is made up of two semesters. The first

semester starts in September/October and ends in January/February.
The second semester starts in February and ends in July. The actual
start and finish dates will vary in the different universities but each
semester lasts around 20 weeks and is made up of a teaching period
lasting around 14 weeks and an exam period lasting around 6 weeks.

Teaching & Learning

Most teaching still takes place in large lecture halls but this will
depend very much on the single course of study. Students are also
expected to carry out a considerable amount of self-study outside
the classroom in order to prepare for exams.

Assessment

Exams are held after the teaching period and are mainly oral exams
although some courses will have written tests taking place during the
semester or before the oral exam. Each exam will have a number of
dates offered during the exam period and students can choose
which date they wish to take the exam. They are also entitled to turn
down a mark and take the exam again if they are not satisfied with
the result. Rules apply as to how often a student can take an exam
within an examination period.

Scholarship

Tuition fees are usually very low as most universities obtain public
financial support. All international students are entitled to the same
student assistance services as Italian students, including
scholarships, dining hall services and housing. The Italian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs also offers scholarships for foreign students wishing
to pursue their studies in Italy. It is Need-based scholarship issued by
the Italian Government, 5200 Euros offered for 1 year. It is
extendable for the next year.

Courses

Engineering programs- Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Computer

science

Management programs- International Business, MBA, Finance and

Insurance

Pharmaceutical Programs

Hotel Management Related Programs

Part-time Job Opportunities

especially if you know how to speak Italian.

maximum of 20 hours a week.

Students can work at Restaurants, Bars as Waiters, call centre agents

etc.

How much can I earn with part-time jobs? Choosing to work while
you study in Italy will not give you enough money to pay for your
tuition fees. International students can still do part-time jobs and
make and extra 10-15 Euros per hour with those jobs.
