Description:
Through experiences in transnational mobility promoted by Community programmes such as Socrates/Erasmus, the University of Catania has been experimenting with new and valuable forms of inter-university educational cooperation,which have given an ever- growing number of our students the possibility of learning, discovering new horizons and improving their knowledges in other European Union member states. At the same time, we have hosted many European students, who have had the opportunity to benefit from a wide and variegated range of studies within our structures, but also from an intense and rewarding social life in our town.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
We had our fixed courses (diritto penale minorile)and could not choose courses. The fact that the courses were 3 hours at a time and held in Italian certainly did not make things easier for the foreign students.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
shorter periods for courses predominantly taken by foreign students. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
