An International Universityin the Heart of Italy
Unicollege International
An International UniversityA structured academic-professional pathway combining supervised placement in an Italian company or institution with academic learning components — custom-built through direct university-to-university collaboration.
Rotation programmes are organised as non-credit or credit-bearing pathways, depending on home-institution requirements.
Includes defined learning objectives, a formal syllabus or programme outline, academic supervision and an assessable component. Grade assignment may be managed by Unicollege, the home institution, or a jointly agreed evaluation model.
Same supervision and academic reflection requirements, concluding with faculty evaluation, documented completion and portfolio-ready evidence of experiential learning — ideal for professional exposure without transcripted credit.
Professional experience in the format of a mentored internship in a designated venue aligned with the student's major/minor.
Complementary sessions with Unicollege instructors or invited experts.
Italian language coursework plus additional academic courses where relevant.
Weekly or bi-weekly mentoring and progress meetings throughout the placement.
Rotations may be structured for pre-college, undergraduate, postgraduate, BA, MA or PhD participants, hosted at any Unicollege campus — Florence, Mantua, Milan or Turin — with duration defined in weeks according to institutional needs. Calendar flexibility ranges from adaptable to fixed-term formats.
Enrolments open year-round; students are placed in the next available academic session.
