Language Notes
Please note that our Italian language courses usually begin a couple of weeks before the beginning of regular classes and continue for the whole duration of the semester. This is why they cannot be described as pre-session courses.
A minimum of 4 semesters of university-level Italian or
the equivalent must be completed prior to program.
Semi-Intensive Italian language courses are offered in
addition to regular classes during the academic year for beginner and intermediate levels. [50 contact hours per course]
A 4-week “pre-session” intensive Italian
language course is offered before the beginning of regular classes and continues for the duration of the semester.
Note: The host institution ultimately determines your proficiency level and course eligibility.

Housing and Meals

Profile
The origins of the University of Trieste begin with the establishment of the Pasquale Revoltella Foundation for Economic and Business Studies in 1877. University facilities are located on two sites: the science and law faculties are located on a hill overlooking the city, and the arts faculties are located in the historical district close to the waterfront. The university has three centers of excellence: the Centre for Bio-Crystallography, the Centre of Telegeomatics, and the Centre of Nanotechnology. The university also coordinates the Central European Initiative (CEI) Network. Total enrollment: 27,000.
Location
Trieste, for centuries the "gateway to the sea" of the Austrian Empire, lies at the northernmost tip of the Adriatic Sea. The capital of Italy's Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region, Trieste is nestled between a beautiful gulf, which annually hosts the largest sailing regatta in Europe, and the highlands of Karst. Almost everything in Trieste is within walking distance and the city has reliable public transportation including a turn-of-the-century streetcar for the hills. Due to its past as a seaport and emporium, Trieste has a rich history of cultural and religious diversity. Austria, Slovenia and Croatia are within easy reach.
