Why Study In
Italy
Italy has
played an important role in European higher education: it is one
of the four countries that first engaged to create the so-called
"European Area of Higher Education" , thus starting
that type of higher education reform which, known as
"Bologna Process" is being implemented all over
Europe.
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
incentivating basic and applied research in a great variety of
fields (biology, ICT, medicine, physics, etc.).
