Course recommendations
Take Knowledge Management with Martin Eppler, Public Relations with Jon White, Teorie delle organizazzioni with Giorgio Inzerilli and see what seminars are on offer in your year.
The profs are generally of international repute, so check out their CVs online and compare them with the areas of study that you're interested in.

Personal comments
Hmmm.. Maybe more courses in English for the sake of being more accessible to the general international community, but that's not too likely to happen since the univeristy is trying to style itself as the only Italian-instruction university in Switzerland (and that is a big deal for them).
Other than that, keep trying to attract profs with international profiles, keep the ones that you have there and keep offering the amazing courses that you do!

“MaRS scholarship at USI, Lugano, Switzerland”
Egor E
Switzerland, Other courses
, 2018
OverallHello. My name is Egor Ermolaev. For now I'm a final year student from Omsk, Russia. Autumn 2017 I was looking for opportunity to do my diploma thesis somewhere abroad (because of I really like culture exchange and learn new languages). So I finally found a proposal from the USI, Lugano. The proposal was in the frames of Master Research Scholarship program (shortly - MaRS). The point was - it's the short term foundation (5000$) to work at USI as a visiting researched. The university gives to you all the necessary stuff (project theme, research group, place in the open space, laptop etc.). Highly recommend this university and the scholarship program.

Overall
The university as a whole is very organized and the courses are very structured for gradual learning. The professors are very helpful both during the lessons and outside. A very strong point is the possibility to make many projects and practice what you learn in class.
