Student review [#86931] for History of Arts and Conservation of Artistic Heritage
at Ca'Foscari University Of Venice

Ca’ Foscari University is certainly one of the most famous in the world – and sure enough, it gives students the benefit of claiming a prestigious name within your education, alongside the experience of studying in a city such as Venice, with its cultural richness and unicity.

I applied to study Art History, specializing in Contemporary Art: even though there are three curricula available, Contemporary Art seems to have few teachers that specialize in the contemporary field – most are from the Modern Arts curricula – and even fewer courses specifically built for such time period.

There are also few exams in general from which you can choose from: I only took a handful of courses, meanwhile the final dissertation is worth the equivalent of half an academic year, in terms of University credits.

I enjoyed my time in Ca’ Foscari, but mostly because of the people: I had a chance to meet students who were as passionate as me about art, and appreciate venetian art in all its glory.

If I had a chance to change the past, I would definitely study in Venice once again; but I would probably choose another course.
