Degree Programs in Rome, Italy

Rome is a perfecto place for international students thinking about earning a degree abroad. It is home to some of the top universities in Italy, one of the first universities to offer master degree programs entirely in English, and Europe’s largest public university. Between all of the degree programs and universities to choose from, you’ll have more options than there are pizza toppings in the Piazza Navona (that’s a lot).

Bachelor degree programs in Rome are not difficult to find either. There are two popular American universities (John Cabot University and the American University of Rome) that offer bachelors and masters degrees in several disciplines. For history and art lovers specifically, the British University of Kent at Rome offers master’s degree programs with a particular focus on medieval, renaissance, and baroque art in Italy. If you’d like to study in Rome but to keep classes in English, this holy trio of schools will not let you down.

Other popular degree programs in Rome include fashion, design, and photography. At international universities, classes are usually conducted in English, but at local universities, you might need to sign up for a couple of language courses before enrolling.

Important Note: be aware that at Italian universities, class and study structures are going to be different than back home. There’s particular attention given to oral examinations and discussions, and grades are on a completely different scale. Don’t be horrified if you get a 25 on your next exam!
