University of Milano-Bicocca - UNIMIB Speciality : Performing Arts
programme: Intercultural Communication

The program started off really well, my first year(I’d say semester though since covid-19 happened and changed things up) was really good, most classes were interesting and the professors were pretty good. At first, when covid happened, I’d say the program handled the situation pretty well, they all provided recorded lessons and were available to the students if they had any difficulties. Things started to get worse in my second year when a lot of the professors wanted us to make group projects without any of us actually having met any of the other students. But if you could surpass those hardships I’d say the program is mostly good. The biggest cons I can think of are that the program has too many subjects, in my opinion, which are really not necessary for everyone and that takes away the focus from the most important subject: the language you choose. I personally chose Japanese, I’m in my third year now and I’ve always done really well in exams for Japanese, the problem is I don’t really know how to speak Japanese yet; I studied perfectly for 3 years and yet I’m at a really basic level, which is not very good in my opinion.
I hope you considerate these things before enrolling!
