GENERAL PART
The Italian university system offers numerous study opportunities for foreign students wishing to undertake or complete their course of education abroad, also thanks to the fact that more often Italian Universities offer study courses entirely in English language.
According to the most recent figures available, the total number of foreign students enrolled is around 70,000 units up to date. Even the registrations have doubled over the decade 2003-2013 (from 7.269 to 15.710 units), which demonstrates the growing international attraction to the Italian university system.
The main information concerning the access of foreigners to the Italian Universities courses can be found easily online at the following addresses:
Additional information (the page is also available in English) on the subject is available at the link Universitaly.it where it is possible to find courses of the first and second cycle (Bachelor and Master) completely held in English language.
