Università Degli Studi di Udine (UNIVERSITY OF UDINE)

Looking us from the outside we seem just a little university in a little city, that does not have much more to offer than simple programs, but this is just the package of something that can inside have bright surprises. Starting from what was already said about the size, I have to say that begin small is just a pro: on one hand professors can follow closely all their students and create a stimulating environment; on the other, students can develop stronger connection with their mates, not only in their own fields, but also between departments. Other huge highlight are the well developed scholarship system, both for local and foreign. In fact, on one hand the university offers several and differentiate scholarship for its students; on the other, the university create an overall system of direct collaboration with students, that get hired by the university for little jobs inside the institution in order to let them earn some money. Moreover, the university literally bet on its student future, being extremely placing oriented: there is a specific platform for job announcement; twice a month is given the opportunity to the students to have job interviews in interested companies; once a year is organized a huge employment fair… and much more. Last but not least, the university is open to international environment, offering different programs in English in different fields and having a well structured languages learning program. These are just some of the advantages related to Udine university, going fast on some others: well developed and variegated programs, efficient offences, association promotion, new facilities, good canteens, cheap renting… After all, I want to conclude my review talking about the city of Udine: a beautiful little pearl that is not just cheap to live, but is also rich of culture and history, with good food and wine and extremely student friendly.

il corso magistrale in comunicazione integrata che ho portato a termine presso l'università di Udine offre dei corsi molto pratici che permettono agli studenti di mettere in pratica tutte le nozioni teoriche apprese negli anni di studio, la teoria è presente ma ai progetti, sia personali che in gruppo, viene dedicata una buona parte dei corsi.

Since I'm a translation student, being able to study abroad was an important plus that the University of Udine gave me. I was able to study for a semester in Montreal, Canada and to apply for an internship in Brussels

It is not a big university, but it is very active in terms of academic offer: many courses and specialisations, with one of the best Faculties of Foreign Languages in the country, a lot of opportunities for students (study abroad, internships, etc.).
Being not too big, it offers a friendly and not too formal environment, where most professors genuinely care about their students, who never have the feeling to be just a number.
I really appreciated my Mastes studies, which were not crowded and allowed me to learn a lot.
Other bigger universities might have more known or famous professors, big names in the academic world and in the media, but this university has many professors who are at least as worth as their VIP colleagues, showing great professionality and interest towards the subject they teach and willing to educate their students in the broader sense.
