The first step of a great journey.<\/h2>\n

Italy is synonymous with wonder, especially for the new generations living abroad who wish to come into contact with the culture and education system that the Bel Paese is able to offer. In particular, Foundation Year is aimed at students attracted by Made in Italy<\/strong>, understood not only as a sign of distinction and style, but also as a qualitative approach to life.<\/p>\n

It is precisely in this context that the Foundation Course fits in: a 60-credit supplementary course that aims to introduce students to the cultural, design, historical and artistic subjects with which they will be confronted, in even greater depth, in the years to come.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
