Student review [#34952] for Global Humanities
at Sapienza – Università di Roma

I am a student of Global Humanities – a newly established English-taught program with a broad curriculum and enthusiastic professors. Since our course is a youngster among other classic disciplines, it has the innovative potential, as well as the tendency to be slightly chaotic.

In brief, I am not disappointed by my choice. Sapienza University has two large, beautiful campuses almost in the heart of Rome. In my first year of studies, we had a blended modality (both offline and online), and professors did great to organize the opportunity to study for some of us who had issues coming to Italy. However, there were some challenges to get used to Sapienza’s schedule system.

As an international student, I wish Sapienza provided more language support and opportunities to participate not only for Italian-speakers. Since my course and university overall is large (almost 200 students in a year), the teacher:student ratio might be surprising for some freshmen. Sapienza teaches you to study and develop independently. A big advantage for me is international mobility and bilateral agreements – however, the competition to participate may be high.

I recommend all the applicants do a little research about their intended programs, because the experience can vary from course to course.
