University of Milano-Bicocca - UNIMIB Speciality : Education
programme: Primary Education

Bicocca University has many courses. Mine is primary education (5year bachelor). The university isn’t really close to the center of Milan, but it is still easily accessible through train (Greco Pirelli station) and underground (M5). Most of the buildings are close to each other, making it easy to move around. It is also filled with restaurants and has a cinema near, to let young people enjoy their time there.
About the course itself, Primary education is indeed a very filled course (7 subjects or more each year, labs and internship every year) and it’s well thought to make you become a great teacher. Sometimes, though, it is very heavy to do everything on time and in a good way. Some professors will explain something they don’t follow either, but that’s alright. Many classrooms have very poor lighting and no windows, especially in U7 (CIVITAS) where the biggest rooms look like a literal buildings. It’s not so nice to work in there, but survivable.
In general, the university is very updated and is pretty cheap too compared to the biggest ones in Milan, but offer many opportunities even outside the bachelor courses (ex: photography courses, a gym, University sports teams..) and always consult the student’s representatives (which are students as well) for anything. They’re also building a park for the students near the biggest and central building since the place lacks green spaces. There’s also Hangar Bicocca near, which is a modern and contemporary art museum that gives opportunities to many emergent artists and it’s completely free.

The University of Milano Bicocca is one of the biggest statal universities in Milano. It includes faculties of any kind, from the Medicine field, to the Humanistic faculties, to the Scientific and economic ones. I’ve done here my master degree in Formazione Primaria, to become a teacher of the primary and nursery schools. I strongly recommend my university for the seriousness of the studies, the passion and competence of the professors and the level of quality of the lessons.
