“Home to many of the world's greatest works of art, architecture and gastronomy, Italy elates, inspires and moves like no other,”
On a University Magazine ranking of the top study abroad destinations for U.S. students, Italy claimed the second spot behind the UK, beating Spain, France, Germany, Ireland, China, Australia, Costa Rica, and Japan.
When we think of Italy, we often think of arts, fashion, design and culture, and with good reason. Italy lays claim to many of the world’s most famous fashion and design brands, with a history of leadership in art and architecture dating back centuries.
However, Italy’s high quality higher education system is strong across the board with a rich history of innovation and research. For example, students from the University of Bologna recently helped to make a satellite, which will take images of earth, measure radiation, and tech technologies for future space missions. And in recent years Italian universities have been involved in vital work and research in the fields of climate change, astronomy, the cell cycle, dolphin conservation, solar cell technology, cancer treatment, and more.
There are nearly 100 universities throughout Italy, as well as many specialized institutions which fall under the auspices of its higher education sector. A total of 30 universities were included in 2019’s QS World University Rankings, including 12 in the top 500. Some of Italy’s most prestigious universities date back centuries, and have spent those years training the world’s greatest leaders and scholars
In addition to boasting a rich legacy of art, architecture, literature, music, sculpture, theater, science and technology, and style, Italy has the world’s largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as more than 3,000 museums.
While Italy is known for its many magnificent and distinctive cities, including Rome, Florence, Turin, Milan, Venice, Naples, and Bologna, it’s also celebrated for its gorgeous coastal towns and idyllic countryside. Lovers of the great outdoors, sports and recreation will find plenty of things to see and do in Italy, including excellent Alpine skiing and breathtaking hiking. There’s also its phenomenal and world-famous nightlife.
