Università di Catania

University of Catania, Via Antonino di Sangiuliano, 262 CAP, 95131 Catania, Italy
3.56 / 5 based on 60 reviews.
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.
