Many students from all over the world congregate in what has been declared the most famous Foreigners' University in all of Italy. Courses run several sessions a year, with five levels of competency. The fifth level takes 6 months while the other levels each take 3 months. Students choose to sit for exams and earn a certificate upon successfully passing it, or one can request for a certificate of attendance.
Courses are varied to suit individual tastes, ranging for History of Music, Art and Italian Theatre, to Translation, Literature, Music, Choral, Finance, Law and Economics courses.
Cost for each 3 month session is currently Lire 450,000 (about 240Euros). Several scholarships are available especially if you are from the European Union. The University also admits numerous students on the ERASMUS exchange program.
The University is housed within the Palazzo Gallenga, itself a major historical building situated right next to the glorious Etruscan Arch.
