In the context of the internalization process, from 2012 to 2018 the University of Siena has increased the foreign students enrolled in the first year of the Masters programmes taught in English language, becoming the first Italian university for percentage of international students.
A warm message from the Rector’s Delegate for Internationalization
“The University of Siena has a long history of European and interna-
tional linkages. Established in the 13th century in one of the richest
and culturally stimulating free cities of medieval Italy, our
University has been always open to inter-cultural and international
exchanges. More recently, this natural predisposition has evolved in
an explicit policy of internationalization. Students from many different
countries are enrolled in many of the about seventy programs we
offer. They work side by side and they live the city-campus, together
with thousands of Italian students and with hundreds of visitors –
both European and overseas incoming students – who arrive every
year, to spend at least one semester with us.
All these students contribute to transform this beautiful town into an
international environment. This is after all our main goal: to teach
new generations of scholars and professionals from all around the
world, who in turn will be able to change our life. I firmly believe that
this is a fundamental aspect of our mission, and I am sure that the
more we will be able to get truly international classes, the more our
world will be able to respond to all challenges, ensuring peace
and prosperity.”
