Università di Genova - UniGe (reviews)

High quality teaching, very good professor, wide choice of subjects. Very beautiful old building but inadeguate to host university courses. Classroom too small, too hot in summer and cold during the winter

Receiving my acceptance into the STRATEGOS MSc program at the University of Genoa was a truly rewarding and motivating experience. From a student’s perspective, the entire selection process felt structured, competitive, and meaningful, which made the final approval even more satisfying.

What stood out to me most was the clarity and professionalism of the communication. Even when there were minor system errors mentioned, the administration ensured that selected students were properly informed and reassured. Being officially approved without needing additional testing gave me confidence in the strength of my application and academic background.

The program itself appears highly interdisciplinary, combining engineering, strategy, and security—fields that are increasingly important in today’s global landscape. As a student, I find this blend particularly exciting because it promises both technical knowledge and strategic thinking skills, which are essential for future leadership roles.

The post-acceptance guidance was detailed and helpful. Although the number of steps (such as Universitaly registration, pre-enrollment, and visa processing) may feel overwhelming at first, the instructions provided were clear enough to follow step by step. I especially appreciated the information about financial support opportunities like the ALISEO grant, which makes the program more accessible to international students.

Overall, this experience has been both encouraging and inspiring. It not only validates my academic efforts but also opens the door to an international learning environment in Italy. I am genuinely excited to begin this journey and grow both professionally and personally through STRATEGOS.

My experience at this university was generally positive. I liked the quality of education and the professors, who were helpful and explained things clearly. The academic programs are modern and relevant to the job market.
On the other hand, there were some drawbacks such as occasional lack of organization and delays in administrative procedures. Also, the costs can be a bit high compared to other universities.
Campus life was enjoyable, and there were good opportunities to meet students from different backgrounds.
Overall, I would recommend this university, especially for students looking for a good education and an international experience.

Hello,
I wanted to briefly share my university experience. I was behind with my exams, and while the atmosphere was generally friendly, it could get tense depending on the lecturer. I especially remember the law professor, extremely demanding — I had to take the exam three times to get a decent grade.

Being older than most students, I already had my own car, a Peugeot 205, which made me unexpectedly popular with classmates who often needed a ride. It became almost a small network of favors and exchanges.

I graduated in Political Science in Genoa in 1987, and despite how much time has passed, I would still recommend the experience.
