Why students from Australia and New Zealand come to Italy
Students from Australia and New Zealand come for the once-in-a-lifetime European experience - a gap year or an extended stay - and many to reconnect with Italian family roots while they are on this side of the world.
Coming with your university or college? Our faculty-led programs bring your whole group to Italy - academics, housing and on-site support handled, with credits ready for your home transcript.
Good to know before you come
Short stays
For visits up to 90 days, Australian and New Zealand citizens travel to Italy visa-free. Perfect for a summer or a few weeks of immersion.
A semester or a year
For longer study you apply for a study visa at the Italian consulate in Australia and New Zealand. We provide the enrollment certificate and the documents you need.
Credits for your transcript
Through our faculty-led and semester programs - and our U.S. university partners - credits can be ready for your home transcript.
Programs run in Milan, Florence, Rome, Turin and Mantua. In Rome: private lessons by appointment and online courses now, group courses and visa-eligible programmes from January 2027. Accommodation, airport transfer and add-ons are quoted separately. Visa requirements are set by the Italian consulate in your jurisdiction; we provide the academic documentation.
