Studying in South Tyrol
South Tyrol is the northernmost province of Italy and together with the Province of Trento it forms the Autonomous Region of Trentino-Alto Adige. Due to several historical events, German as well as Italian are the official languages in South Tyrol. Living in South Tyrol therefore means experiencing bilingualism in everyday's life. This is also put into practice at South Tyrol's educational institutions: At the Provincial College for Health Professions "Claudiana" teaching is done in German as well as in Italian, at the Free University of Bolzano learning is done trilingually, in German, Italian and English, and at the Philosophical-Theological Academy Bressanone German forms the main language of instruction.
Why South Tyrol as a place to study?
South Tyrol's educational institutions convince with their closeness to the students, due to the size it is possible to guarantee tight connections and a great involvement of the students. Due to the bilingualism in everyday life and the diversity of the students at the universities, learning and getting to know new things becomes normal and brings a great exchange, culturally as well as culinarically. Studying in South Tyrol means not only studying, but also experiencing an adventure every day.
Studying in South Tyrol
Bolzano, Bressanone and Brunico are still in their infancy as university towns. Due to the high standard of living in South Tyrol, everyday life can be very expensive. This is exactly why improving these problems is at the top of our agenda.
Bolzano, Bressanone and Brunico have several student dormitories that offer accommodation to students every year. Furthermore, there is of course also the possibility to rent a room or an entire apartment privately. You can find more information here.
The public transportation network in South Tyrol is constantly being expanded and improved, which is a great advantage for students, since they can almost completely avoid having their own car. The Province of Bolzano offers students up to the age of 27 an Annual Pass for all public transportation at a fixed tariff of 150 €, which is valid in the entire Province of Bolzano, including Trento.
