Università di Bologna - UNIBO
speciality: Biological Sciences

Universita of Bologna in Rimini I woulds say is a good public university that does offer a lot of benefits to international students, although I still think that they should find other way to verify the requirements for scholarships since it does involve spending a good amount of money. I would say the city is a little bit lacking in student life and activities on the winter and there are limited incentives or discounts for students to engage in leisure activities or traveling, I see some improvement know in spring, let see how it is in summer. Know for the program (Advanced Cosmetic Science) I feel is one of the hardest masters the uni has in this city, and some classes I feel could really be a seminar and some are not really relevant unless you will dedicate to research, and none of the teachers has any expertise on the field of cosmetics in any way, they all do research and cannot help you with connections with the industry because no one has been part of it. Also, we are one of the few masters that has oral examinations for most classes, which I think is ridiculous for a STEM program. But the teachers are mostly good and do have knowledge in the area, but yeah maybe is because it is relatively knew it still has a long way to go. I still don’t regret coming because it is fairly cheap compared to the same program in other countries and the labs are pretty cool.

All in all, excellent preparation within the field of studies, coming at the cost of a quite high volume of exams and material to learn.
Good subject diversification while providing all the bases needed.
Pleasant city to live in

The course that i selected is advanced cosmetic sciences and overall its a well suited program with a lot of laboratory activities and courses. There are a certain problems with university administration such as no proper help desk for help with finding accommodation but apart from that overall experience is smooth. Class strength is on the higher side which can cause a problem sometime but then again it depends upon the student’s nature as well.
I’d recommend this program to other people as well.

Studying Biotechnology at Università di Bologna was an incredible experience that I highly recommend. The program is rigorous and offers a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, with access to state-of-the-art labs. The faculty is composed of passionate experts who are always willing to help and provide valuable mentorship. Their dedication to research is inspiring and encourages students to engage in innovative projects. Living in Bologna is equally rewarding. The city boasts a vibrant culture, rich history, and delicious cuisine. Renting an apartment was straightforward, with many options available for students. I found a cozy place near campus that made it easy to immerse myself in both academic and local life. The university’s extensive network and collaborations with industries further enhance the learning experience, providing ample opportunities for internships and career development. my time at Università di Bologna was absolutely memorable and equipped me with both knowledge and unforgettable memories in a beautiful setting.
