The University of Rome tor Vergata is a great and relevantly young University, which is becoming each academic year stronger and more valuable. I graduated from the Global Governance bachelor’s degree in English which presented a very interdisciplinary, interconnected and international programme to its students. It is focused on the great challenges and relevant matters of nowadays’ world, which shape a strong basis for the next generations of workers and leaders of the upcoming years.

Therefore, there are some problems I need to highlight in order to give an honest review. The location of the university is one of them. It is very far from the centre of Rome and it takes some time to get there. Combined with the chaotic schedules of the buses, you must leave your house earlier than you normally would. Finally, the lack of communication between the administration or the teachers and the students is, for me, the biggest issue of Tor Vergata. I received really few emails about the organization of the semester or the exams.

There are still a few things I would love to see improved since the program is fairly new (only 8 years) and still needs a lot of improvement also because it’s very different from your average bachelor in Italy. The main characteristic I’d say that involves Global governance is the feeling of solidarity and friendship and constant learning. Our director says that mistakes are very important and it’s vital to learn from them. We constantly have conferences on feedback about topics revolving around our major, like teachers, classes, schedule etc, and we tend to communicate all of our concerns and inconveniences. That’s what I love about it, and all of my classmates have a similar point of view on life, and mainly share the same ideologies, which is great, and I’m convinced that I wouldn’t have met my friends from uni in any other major
