I started my master’s degree in Arab and Middle Eastern Studies at Ca’ the Foscari University of Venice in 2018. I chose the University of Venice because it is first-rate and leading institution regarding MENA studies and I was sure it could give me the chance to attend excellent courses. There, I chiefly focused my studies on contemporary history, politics, and economies of the Middle East and North African region, along with language and translation courses. I am really thankful for my experience in Venice since I got to study and live in a vibrant and multicultural environment that has enriched me and made me even more resilient and eager to know.
