Study in Italy
Home to some of the world's oldest universities, Italy has a long history of providing high quality higher education to both domestic and international students.

Both of these play an important role in widening the access to higher education across Europe, with international students from all over the world now able to experience an Italian university education, thanks to the country's contributions.
