There's a language barrier and fewer companies and opportunities.

Tips: Poor college life because of a language barrier. Most English-taught courses' campus is on the outskirts, making the university less enjoyable for international students. I have a merit scholarship that covers my entire tuition. I am satisfied with the university only because it offered me a scholarship. If not, I would join/prefer other countries.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): It is easier to immigrate and settle in Italy compared to other countries like the UK and the US. This country is a good place to retire, health improves, and the culture is generous. There are no major complaints except for the Schengen travel being hampered because of the longer wait time for a residence permit every year.

Dislikes (Internships): It's done by self/minimal guidance from the university. There's a language barrier and fewer companies and opportunities. It's difficult to find an internship relevant to your field, so I usually apply outside of Italy or in my home country. I'm currently working for an Indian company part-time remotely while I study. It's easier to manage both that way.

Great place for studies and research.

Tips: The Italian education system is way different from the Indian education system and is one of the toughest in the world. Being a student in Italy, learning the Italian language is a compulsory thing to do because it is one of the greatest barriers to break for easy survival. Once you are off the campus, you can hardly find someone who speaks English. Here, the professors have excellent knowledge of the subjects they teach and are always available if we need any help. They expect us to have a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts, which is particularly important during lectures. There are various scholarships available for international students from the government and the university. The students have to meet certain criteria set by the university in order to get a scholarship. During my Master's degree, I received a scholarship of around 5600 euros per year from the government. I obtained a Special Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering from the School of Aerospace Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome and earning this degree has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Likes (Value for money): In general, education in Italy is quite affordable. The tuition fee I paid for my Master's degree was around 1440 euros per year, which is significantly less expensive when compared with the tuition fee of the universities in the USA, Canada or the UK. At the same time, the quality of education offered here is very high.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very few Indian restaurants in Rome, and the food is expensive compared to other cuisines. The taste of Indian food here is not even close to the ones we find in India. In some restaurants, the quality of food is very poor. They store leftover food in refrigerators and use it for multiple days. I have tried almost all the Indian restaurants in Rome and have not been satisfied with the food there. I mostly prefer cooking my own food.

Strong academics and great facilities.

Tips: I received a fully funded scholarship. Students should be aware that scholarships are available for both bachelor's and master's degrees. They should seek them out. Learning the Italian language makes your experience 10 times better in Italy. The faculty is highly knowledgeable and will assist you with your research work.

Strong academics, limited campus life but rich in growth and discovery.

Tips: One of the most important things to be aware of before coming here is the language barrier. Even if your course is taught in English. Learning Italian is essential; you will have to use it almost every day to navigate your life in Italy, and especially for part-time work, knowing Italian is a must. The cultural transition is a mix of excitement and challenge. There is definitely a huge shift from India, from classrooms to the overall pace of life. It can feel a little bit isolating at first with limited campus life and the language difference, but over time, with friends, exploration of the cities and adapting to local customs, it starts feeling like home. There are a number of scholarships available, including regional ones. If you are selected, the fees will be waived off and also receive around 7000 euros in general and around 9000 euros if you are a female in STEM, as a 20% extra is issued if you are a female in STEM courses to cover your living expenses. The overall experience is very good and recommended. The academic experience is good, and Italy in general has a lot of experiences to offer in terms of culture, history and travel. There are Erasmus programs wherein you can study a semester or two at partner universities in Europe or other countries.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected by public transport like metro, buses, trams and trains. Buses are almost 24/7 available. There are annual metrobus cards available for 250 euros per year or at a discount of 130 euros per year if you are eligible for a scholarship. The card can be used for all types of available transport within a particular zone in Rome.

Dislikes (Student Life): Unlike campuses in India, there isn't really a central campus experience here. You typically go to classes, interact with classmates and return. While there are events and competitions, most of them are in Italian, which can feel quite accessible for international students. There are clubs and student communities, but information about them isn't well communicated. You often have to search explicitly and try to find it out; there isn't much visibility otherwise.

MSc Development and International Cooperation Sciences - Batch of 2025

3.8

Flexible and globally relevant program for development-oriented careers.

Tips: Moving to Italy and joining Unitelma Sapienza was a unique experience. As an international student, the cultural shift was initially challenging, especially adapting to the Italian lifestyle and bureaucratic processes. However, over time, I found the environment safe, welcoming, and student-friendly. I availed a regional scholarship, Lazio Disco, which covered part of my tuition and provided a small allowance for living expenses. The application process was online and required documentation of income and academic performance. Overall, I am satisfied with the university and my course in International Operations, Finance, and Development. It offers flexibility through online learning, and the content is globally relevant. Italy is a great country for international exposure, especially for those interested in development and international organisations.

Likes (Internships): Internship guidance at Unitelma Sapienza is quite good, especially through the professors and external academic advisors who often share internship opportunities. The university collaborates with international organisations, NGOs, and institutions which align well with my programme in International Operations, Finance, and Development. Many of the available internships are highly relevant to the subjects taught and offer valuable exposure to global development issues, policy-making, and international finance. This level of relevance and support makes internships one of the strongest aspects of the programme.

Dislikes (Safety): Part-time work opportunities, especially on-campus, are quite limited at Unitelma Sapienza. Most students have to look for off-campus jobs, which are not always easy to find, especially for international students without strong Italian language skills. Additionally, the legal working hours for students are restricted, and balancing part-time jobs with a demanding academic schedule can be stressful. The average payout is also not very high, and often the jobs are not aligned with one's field of study or long-term goals.
