ITALIAN SPRING SCHOOL At University of Cagliari

Università degli Studi di Cagliari Spring 2017

STUDY ITALIAN LANGUAGE AT A MEDITERRANEAN UNIVERSITY

Why Cagliari?

Cagliari is the the capital of Sardinia which is located in the centre of the Gulf of Angels. If you walk through the old historic districts of the city you will easily be able to recognise the marks of different cultures and conquerors who have lived in Cagliari over the centuries.

Numerous archeological sites and unspoiled natural environments allow you to choose between several fascinating and interesting tourist routes, including art and nature. Thanks to its soft climate, Cagliari offers every seasons to visitors the chance to discover its architecture, its archeological sites, its monuments, its previous history, and the opportunity to observe the influences of the different people who have inhabited it. Cagliari is a medium-sized city, and as our university has 6 faculties and around 30,000 students, we believe these features make the University of Cagliari student-friendly. Our tuition fees are one of the lowest in Italy that is why the chance to study in our university is accessible to everyone, with subjects ranging from Archeology to Marine Biology, from Pharmacology to Economics, Political Studies and Law, from Architecture and Engineering to Modern Foreign Languages and Literature, and many more.

The weather Winter in Cagliari is short and warm, and thanks to the fact that the city lies at sea level, the climate is generally mild. The sky is generally clear and blue, and the spring seems to extend beyond its natural time. The average summer temperature is 29°C whilst the winter average is about 14-15°C. The local climate is characterized by strong cold winds which become from the North-West. Cagliari is ‘the City of the Sun’, but above all, ‘the City of the Sea’. The summer season extends from May to October, and it is not uncommon to find brave swimmers in the months of March and November. From the hills of the city you can admire the unique view of a multicoloured sea that joins the city.
