Italy is home to the oldest university in the world, University of Bologna; and, since its inception, the educational system never stopped growing and improving. With student discounts, thousands of Master's degrees, and a beautiful and diverse country, it's no wonder students pick Italy as their international destination for a graduate degree.

Famous Italians, like da Vinci, Borgia, Versace, and Vivaldi revolutionized the fields of Architecture, Music, Engineering, and Fashion. Now, you can follow in their footsteps with a Master's degree rooted in their tradition.
