Ca' Foscari University Of Venice Speciality : Economics
programme: Economics and Finance

Thanks to my 5-year academic experience at Ca’ Foscari University, I had the chance to pursue an Erasmus+ scholarship to study in Norway (at NTNU, Trondheim) for one year. The knowledge acquired while studying in Venice, enriched me with both soft and hard skills that allowed me to study in a completely different country and context. Professors are prepared, reliable and available most of the time. My Master’s thesis coordinator, constantly helped me throughout the entire writing process and he always maintained a steady communication between him and I. Moreover, there are a lot of university clubs which anyone can join: I personally joined Marketers Club as Partnership Specialist, which is based on Marketing and the digital world. It gave me the opportunity to interface myself with real-world companies and to cooperate in the organization of internal events. After these five years at Ca’ Foscari, it was easy for me to find a job that I like in a really nice and competitive company. I am really happy and satisfied with what this university has offered to me and I would do it again and again!

There’s something quietly surreal about studying economics while walking over a 16th-century bridge to get to class. Ca’ Foscari has that effect—the city becomes part of your education whether you want it to or not.

The program itself is solid. Strong on theory—microeconomics, corporate finance, management—and the international cohort means group work actually exposes you to different ways of thinking about business problems. My study group alone had students from Germany, Brazil, and Indonesia. That’s not something you get everywhere.

Where it falls short is practical application. Case studies are light, and there’s very little that bridges classroom theory to what businesses actually do. If you’re hoping to graduate feeling work-ready, you’ll need internships on your own initiative—the program won’t hand that to you.

Still, a strong academic reputation, a genuinely international atmosphere, and Venice as your backyard. Not a bad trade.

The course in Economics and Finance I attended has been better then what I’ve expected. Courses are held also in English. Professors are prepared and the University offers an important network of international opportunities.____I would definitely recommend my course to a friend of mine.

I really recommend it. It is driven by international students and the quality of education is excellent.
Moreover, the university is connected to many universities abroad and this will permit you to broaden your future perspectives.
