What should art students pay attention to when studying in Italy?

There are many things that China students should pay attention to when studying in Italy, which are mainly divided into before and after going abroad.

First of all, you should know the education system of Italian universities before going abroad, which is the most basic common sense of studying abroad. Italian universities have three years of undergraduate studies and two years of postgraduate studies. But Italian universities implement the credit system, not the academic year system. To put it simply, you can only graduate if you pass all the subjects, get all the credits (pass all the subjects, that is, pass the subjects), and complete your graduation thesis and graduation defense. Graduation will be postponed if the three-year undergraduate course fails to complete the credits. For students who study well, they will graduate on time after three years; Students who don't study well may graduate in four or five years; Worse, you may never graduate.

Italian undergraduate Italian is LAUREA, abbreviated as L; The Italian graduate student in Italy is LAUREA MAGISTRALE, abbreviated as LM.

Italy has three years of undergraduate courses and two years of postgraduate courses, with 60 credits per year, three years of undergraduate courses, 0/80 credits per kloc and two years of postgraduate courses, 0/20 credits per kloc. Among them, a single subject is generally 3, 6, 9 or 12 credits, generally the whole undergraduate stage will involve 20-26 subjects, and graduate students will involve 12- 18 subjects.

Italian public universities and some private universities are recognized by the Ministry of Education of China, which means that academic qualifications can be certified. You can log on to the foreign-related supervision network of China Ministry of Education, and I will give you the link here: China People's Education Foreign-related Supervision Information Network of China Ministry of Education. If everyone's parents are worried about whether the diplomas returned from Italian universities will be recognized, they can actually consult the Overseas Academic Accreditation Center of the Italian Ministry of Education directly (the diplomas after graduation will be certified here) and verify it.

Understand the graduation difficulty of Italian universities before going abroad. Italy's overall education policy is loose, simple entry and strict exit, which means it is difficult to graduate. Before going abroad, most students discussed which university is easy to enter and how the pass rate is, but after arriving in Italy, they spent more time discussing how to graduate if they were admitted.

The graduation difficulty of Italian universities and majors is different. What I want to say here is that in addition to your hobbies, you should choose your major according to your learning ability. If your learning ability is average, but you choose cultural relics restoration or law, medicine and other majors. You are likely to fail in the end.

Understand the application procedures for studying abroad before going abroad. The application procedure for studying in Italy is slightly complicated, not too complicated, and it is mainly divided into three steps.

1, prepare academic materials. After the academic materials are prepared, they need to be notarized and translated, double-certified and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

2. Go through the pre-registration application procedures of the Italian Embassy. Pre-registration requires students to do it at the Italian embassy site, mainly for two reasons. 1, submit your own academic materials; 2. Apply for Italian universities and majors and sign contracts on site. For students who plan to go, the pre-registration stage also needs to determine the language school they want to attend in the future; For international students, there may be an interview with the embassy in the pre-registration stage to test the students' language level.

3. The materials for studying abroad are well prepared. The only thing students should pay attention to is family economic materials, because most of them are refused visas to study in Italy because of family economic materials.

Learn Italian well before going abroad. Italy is a country where all the people speak Italian, and the popularity of English is not high. Speaking Italian well is very important for living and studying in Italy. Language is the foundation, and language is the foundation of everything. What is the most important thing to study in Italy? Italian is the most important.

Some students also go to Italy to teach English. The requirements for IELTS in Italian college English teaching are not high, basically between 5.0 and 6.0. Generally speaking, I would suggest that if your English level is average, you'd better not go to Italy to teach English, because you may encounter difficulties in communicating in Italian after class in a university, and eventually you won't learn English and Italian well.

Make psychological and financial preparations for studying abroad before going abroad.

After going abroad, I was alone. I must live and study by myself. Be clear about your goal of studying abroad, know what you want to go abroad and what you want to learn, so that you can work hard. Explain to parents before going abroad that in the eyes of parents, children will always be children, and it is a difficult decision for every parent to send children without independent ability abroad. As ourselves, what we should do is to spend more time with our parents, show our attitude and determination, and let them worry less.

The preparation of funds and sufficient funds for studying abroad are the guarantee for studying abroad in the later period. You can study in Italy while working. Studying in Italy requires a certain amount of family funds. According to the requirements of the visa for studying abroad, the embassy stipulates that families should be able to continuously pay the students' expenses for studying in Italy by submitting the running statement from their parents' bank.

After going abroad, there are more things to pay attention to.

First of all, pay attention to your words and deeds after going abroad. His words and deeds represent himself and also bear the impression of foreigners on China people. Although this is very stressful, it exists; When communicating with roommates or Italians, you should know how to respect others, so as to make real friends.

Pay attention to handling documents after going abroad. Secondly, as an international student in Italy, you need to apply for some documents, such as residence card and tax number. Italy has relevant regulations for foreigners to study in Italy, such as applying for residence in the post office within eight days of entry, for example, international students can't work more than 20 hours a week and so on. They must abide by local laws and regulations.

Arrange your own residence after going abroad. Most international students who go to Italy rent a house, so there are many things to pay attention to when renting a house. Italian houses are different from those in China. Generally, Italian houses have a history of decades or hundreds of years, and the property rights of the houses are permanent. Most landlords/owners' houses are not their own, but their parents or other relatives died and inherited the inheritance. Therefore, most Italian landlords have feelings for the house. Italians are good at decorating houses, which also shows their love for life.

So what I want to say is that students who rent houses should clean up their houses, stand on their own feet, clean up, mop the floor and wash dishes after meals, and form good habits. This is also an exercise way to improve their quality of life in the future.

After going abroad, you should find ways to study and adapt to the learning atmosphere in Italy. In Italy, there is no class teacher system, and universities are also open. After-school study or self-study is not mandatory, and everyone should have independent and conscious learning ability. Learning after class is not compulsory, but if you want to graduate, you must find your own learning methods and make full use of them after class.

In Italy, there are oral and written exams, that is, final subject exams (undergraduate 20-24 subjects, graduate students 10- 15 subjects) to get credits. The oral examination is skillful, not only to give accurate answers to the questions raised by the professor, but also to get high marks in some subjects if there is personal explanation.
