Università degli Studi di Padova
speciality: Aeronautical & Manufacturing Engineering

In general, I’d say it’s a good university, quite solid overall. The main problem is the organization. The administrative office takes a long time to reply, and as a result, all the bureaucratic matters are complicated to handle. Some professors are really good, while others, unfortunately, much less so.

Studying Engineering at the University of Padova (no, not a Polytechnic) is an experience. Whether great or bad is up to you and your decisions. I’ll say Great, having been taught by top-class professors with astonishing CVs. The theoretical knowledge that you can acquire following a Bachelor/Master program in Padova is one of the most complete and detailed in the world, but there’s a quite big gap: the lack of hands-on or more practical courses.
Plus, if you reading this is,girl, you won’t miss the chance of studying where the very first woman graduated!
