Ca'Foscari University Of Venice
speciality: Philosophy

I really appreciated the fact that you can connect very well with your classmates and with professors.
The academic offer is great, as well as a huge quantity of extra-curricular activities.
Some professors have to improve their relationship with technology, but this does not affect their teachings or availability.

I am studying Philosophy, International and Economics major at Ca’ Foscari University and I am almost at the end of finishing my degree. The program is well structured and thoughtfully designed, covering many topics all together. As an international student, there were many difficulties to get used to the new environment, but the university was able to create international communities to support and advice. Overall, it’s a great choice for those seeking a global academic experience.

Ca’ Foscari is an incredible university which gave me my wings – a international environment, full of opportunities from those interested in Archeology to Philosophy to Business to anything you can imagine

I found the courses generally valid; what I did not like was the study plan, which concentrates all the classes in short terms, followed by a one-week exam session. Moreover, the University lack the necessary places for the everyday student’s life (e.g. canteens, study rooms…). Though the professors are usually very helpful, the secretaries are often rude and incompetent.

(PISE) in short, is mostly a great program, it’s fun and challenging at the same time, if you are a history or philosophy enthusiast it is the program for you, you also get to study economic studies too.

After studying here for months, I now can see why Italy would never be able to catch up with its northern neighbourhood in terms of productivity if their education, management and mentality kept looking like this.

Such a Luddite institution in a Luddite country within a backward, Luddite education system. What a waste and shame!
