Ca'Foscari University Of Venice Speciality : History
programme: History

Pros:
– Fascinating city, ancient university buildings (but some of them have been sold in the last years and have become hotels)
– Good libraries (some opened until midnight)
– Internationalisation is a strong point
– Digital bureaucracy (you can ask for certificates and other documents through the website)
– Some professors are very good (you can check every CV in the website)

Cons:
– Economics has more funding than humanities, so the educational offer is better in the first case
– Bachelor degree and master degree often offer very the same courses, as they do not have so many professors (it’s a small-medium university)
– As for humanities, they are not paying attention at your future career
– Rooms in Venice are very expensive and very bad; moreover it’s difficult to find one, because of tourism

In my personal experience, the program of the University was very interesting and diverse. The professors I had were all very kind, polite and competent in what they were teaching. The infrastructure of the classrooms is actually very different based on what campus you are in, for example, the economic campus is very modern and well kept, whereas the humanistic one is still quite modern but not as well maintained as the economic one. A very good aspect of university life is the various libraries in the city: they are all amazing, very clean and organized as well as modern and with very good internet connections.
The strong point of Ca’ Foscari is for sure its internationality, it has many different University partners around the world and the Erasmus offer is very good and broad.
The administrative office is quite efficient, it really depends on who you’re in contact with of the staff, but the majority of the employees are very kind and keen to help you if you have any problems.
I can say that overall my experience here was very good, I loved what I studied and the environment around me, of course living in Venice is a plus.

The university offers many opportunities to relaunch one’s skills, and true and authentic relationships with young people and companies. Offers for the growth of your training, seminars and preparatory courses to achieve your goals.
