Higher education
From Bologna to Milan's design academies — degrees in English or Italian with a strong creative and academic heritage.
The history of Italian higher education is inseparable from the University of Bologna, one of the oldest in Europe, founded in 1088 — from its first years students from across Europe came to study Roman law. Today Italy has dozens of major universities, mostly public, plus non-state institutions whose degrees are officially recognised.
Italy's arts and design sector is world-famous: fashion design and management, interior, graphic and accessory design, brand management, image consulting, advertising, landscape and car design, architecture, interaction and media design, stage design and more. Domus Academy and NABA in Milan are among the leading schools. Programmes last from two weeks to four years and lead to a certificate, diploma, bachelor's or master's — in English or Italian.
Several Italian universities teach medicine in English — for example, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. Entry is competitive, but it is more accessible and far less expensive than US medical school.
