All public universities are free.
Italian higher education has a long history, and many universities have a history of more than 500 years. There are 77 comprehensive universities in Italy, most of which are public universities, all of which are free of tuition. In Italy, there is little difference in teaching quality between public universities and private universities, and degrees and diplomas are recognized globally. Italian universities implement the policy of lenient entry and strict exit, and the entry conditions are relatively low, and all high school graduates can apply. However, if students don't work hard, they may not be able to graduate within the prescribed number of years. Usually, the short-term undergraduate education system is 3 years, the long-term undergraduate education system is 5 years, the master 1-2 years, and the doctor is 3 years.
■ The design major is world-class.
Italy is the birthplace of the European Renaissance and has profound artistic connotation. Therefore, Italian higher education is in a leading position in the world in music, painting, fashion design, sculpture, archaeology, cultural relics protection and architecture, and has its own characteristics in physics, philosophy, law, medicine and agriculture. Design major is the fist product of Italian higher education, such as industrial design, fashion design, architectural design, jewelry design and so on. In addition, the course of Economic Engineer is also suitable for China students, which is equivalent to an MBA in Britain and the United States, and lasts for five years.
■ You can work after school.
Italian law stipulates that foreign students can work 20 hours a week. According to the Italian labor wage standard 60 yuan RMB/hour, China students can earn about 4-5 thousand RMB per month, which can greatly reduce the economic burden. However, there are not many job opportunities for China students with weak language skills.
Three points for studying in Italy
■ Language threshold
Most courses in Italian universities are taught in Italian, and foreign students need to take a language test when they enter school. China students' first foreign language is English, and their Italian foundation is weak. Moreover, there is little related training in China. At present, only several training institutions such as Shanghai Eurowind Training Center and Shanghai International Language Institute provide Italian training services.
■ red tape
The application procedures for studying in Italy are complicated, and applicants need to provide a lot of supporting materials, which makes many China students discouraged. In this regard, the Italian Cultural Office and the Visa Office are considering simplifying visa procedures, but this situation will take some time to change.
■ Poor channels
Because Italy has just opened the market for studying abroad, and the language barrier, the channels for China students to learn about studying in Italy are not smooth. It is understood that many Italian universities offered 1500 places to China applicants this year, which was a waste because most students didn't understand it.
