A Guide to Studying International Relations in Italy
Locations
Most study abroad programs in Italy offer courses on International Relations, but there are certain Italian cities that are especially well known for their role in international politics:
Rome. The seat of power of two states, Rome is both the capital of the Italian government and home to the sovereign state of the Vatican City. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization is also located here, making Rome a powerhouse of domestic, international, and religious politics. As the former center of the Roman Empire and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Rome continues to be a cultural and political hub, perfect for studying International Relations in Italy.
Milan. Not only the leading industrial, commercial, and financial center of Italy, Milan also holds Italy’s main stock exchange and the headquarters of the largest national and international banks and companies. With such a global market, studying international relations in Milan is an excellent choice, especially to study trade policies and the economic interactions between nations.
Bologna. As the campus of one of Italy’s largest universities, the city of Bologna has a strong student presence and is known for its history of post-war political activism. With an Italian population that is very passionate about political affairs, and students from all over the world, international relations is a central focus in this city. It is not uncommon to stumble upon impromptu discussions and town hall-like meetings in the city’s piazzas, where Italians and international students alike debate world politics and social issues.
