National accreditation by Italian Ministry of Education
it's a good university, with pros and cons. Some professors are available others not. The subjects studied are quite interesting and many courses have a teaching material.
The contribution of this training to me was mostly in the language field. I had the opportunity to learn Italian as well as English. The professors' approach to students was very good. I think they offer a quality education.
I learn not only the education materialns but also the social life.
