Italy plays an important part in European higher
education, and was influential in starting the
higher education reform, known as "Bologna
Process" (Bologna Declaration, June 1999) which
is now being implemented all over Europe. Its
higher education system includes 83 universities
(58 of them sponsored by the State), as well as
numerous non-university institutions such as
academies of art, design and music, and
institutes of technical education and
specialized training.
The meeting place of some of the most ancient
cultures in the Old World, Italy has served as a
cultural center to Europe for over 2000 years.
From music, architecture, fine art and
sculpture, to food, fashion and trade, Italy has
undergone centuries of invention and exploration
in the finer aspects of civilization and
culture. World-renowned as one the premier
locations to study music and opera, cities such
as Florence and Rome are a favorite destination
for music students. Furthermore, Italy's
emergence from the ruins of the Roman empire
make it particularly attractive for history
buffs, art history students, and those with even
a passing interest in architecture and
sculpture.
Today Italy ranks among the 8 most
industrialized countries in the world. Alongside
some big companies, both state-owned and
private, Italy has developed a sound network of
small and medium-sized undertakings, promoted a
few scientific parks, and is encouraging basic
and applied research in a great variety of
fields such as biology, ICT, medicine, physics,
etc.
The reasons for studying in Italy are plenty.
