From the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea to the winding waterways of Venice, from the life-affirming espressos of its lightning-speed coffeeshops to the iconic fashion coming out of Milan and Florence, Italy is where you’ll find “la dolce vita” (the sweet life).
Fifteen minutes away from the Tyrrhenian sea and 20 minutes from the Sila mountains is where you can sample this and earn a world-class degree at the same time. Here sits the largest and best equipped campus in the country, Università della Calabria (UniCal), also known as the University of Calabria. The university is situated on over 200 hectares among the hills of the Crati River Valley, in the urban area of Cosenza and Rende.
“The mobility of students and professors (to Italy) represents the main priorities of the European Union and worldwide, as a means to build up a better world and among the people and among the cultural institutions, further than among the economies,” says
rector Nicola Leone. “In this common effort, we, as the University of Calabria, are deeply involved and committed.”
The best part? It’s affordable.
UniCal’s all-inclusive enrolment package costs only 6,000 euros per year. It includes two meals per day, accommodation and tuition fee.
UniCal is also providing scholarships to all the prospective students enrolled in its degrees. Students with low family income could participate to a Call for Scholarships. A scholarship includes the enrolment package above, and students will also receive pocket money worth around 1,700 euros.

UniCal is home to over 950 students from 83 countries — the highest number among Southern Italy universities. It is “a lively and open environment where students can enjoy several social activities that make the campus a place of social cohesion and peaceful coexistence among people,” says Leone. “Our international students enjoy campus life from many different perspectives, fully supported by our modern infrastructures such as libraries, laboratories, residential centres, sports and fitness centres, and theatres.”
