Home to over 20,000 students, our Doric and Ionic cloisters provide a haven of peace and grace within a city which offers an abundance of food, history, heritage and choice. Milan is Italy’s commercial heart. Yet the city itself is a place of Cathedrals and Basilicas, galleries and museums, fortresses and canals, shops and restaurants, parklands and streetscapes.

Then we have our beautiful campus in Piacenza, in which we also include a small facility in nearby Cremona.

8 9 Open opportunities Study programs semester & full-year

The formal definition of study abroad and exchange is one semester or one year spent in another country, where participation in the program can contribute credits towards the home institution degree.

However, study abroad and exchange experiences offer much more.

They represent a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse oneself in another culture, society, language, and environment; to make new friends and to benefit from different styles of teaching, whilst continuing to study.

Semester study abroad students may enroll in one or both Italian language courses (intensive and/or semester) and add up to four English or Italian-taught courses.
