A Proud Step Toward My Academic Dream in Venice

As a former student of the Master’s program in Environmental Sciences – Global Change and Sustainability, I can confidently say that my time at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice was one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of my life. From the very beginning, the university maintained a high level of professionalism and clarity in its communication and academic processes. As an international student, I felt well-informed about enrolment procedures, visa requirements, and academic expectations. The guidance provided made what could have been an overwhelming transition feel structured and manageable. Academically, the program was both challenging and inspiring. The curriculum was well-designed, fully taught in English, and focused on global environmental issues with a strong sustainability perspective. The professors were knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraged critical thinking and research-based learning. The international classroom environment also allowed me to engage with students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, which greatly enriched my experience. Beyond academics, studying in Venice added a unique dimension to my journey. The university offered helpful support services, orientation programs, and assistance with accommodation, which made settling into a new country much easier. Looking back, my time at Ca’ Foscari not only strengthened my academic foundation but also helped me grow personally and professionally. I am truly grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend this program to anyone passionate about environmental studies and global sustainability.

My university life

The ability of LUISS Guido Carli to foster an excellent learning environment is truly unparalleled. Due to the several committed and capable professors at LUISS Guido Carli, I have had a really positive private involvement. Because I could visit the campus anytime I needed help with my academic schedule, I had a terrific time at LUISS Guido Carli. During my two and a half years there, every instructor was excellent and showed me a lot. I would recommend it to someone who is having trouble deciding what they want to do going forward.

A place for opportunities!

I completed both my Bachelor’s (Triennale) and Master’s (Magistrale) degrees in Biotechnology. Being in a small class was really helpful. It made communication between students and professors much easier. Also, the program offers a one-year internship packed with opportunities! .
