Read what our international students are saying about their experience at UNIPD!

"Padua is a city of students, there are so many occasions of meeting new people, getting to know new cultures, making friends and having fun. The city is full of little cafes and piazzas to enjoy your time; parks to have a walk; different shops and interesting little details. The location of the city also gives you an opportunity to travel around a lot."                 NINI - MASTER'S DEGREE STUDENT IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

"Among the many universities in Europe that I looked into, the courses offered by the university were a perfect fit for what I was looking for. I also looked at the history of the university as well as the faculty, research and publications. The Department of Physics and Astronomy is one of the best in the world, the faculty is filled with many renowned scientists and researchers, and the facilities available to students are modern and advanced, even some of them are state-of-the-art and famous among international research collaborations."
DON NIKO - MASTER'S DEGREE STUDENT IN ASTROPHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY

"It all started with the selection of a good-fit degree program, and that's how I landed to University of Padova. Further, I got to know about research standards and quality work in Italian Universities when I talked with other International students who were doing Ph.D in Italy. Now, when I look back, I am extremely happy about my decision of coming to Italy and coming to Padova. Italian government is noticeably investing into education and research, which opens a lot of possibilities for Italians as well as International students, to explore, learn and improve their professional skills and give a path to their career.
