Since 1868 – when it was founded as the first Business School in Italy – Ca’ Foscari has always constituted a crossroads of studies, activities, people and events and an important cultural point of reference. Located in the very centre of Venice, one of Italy’s busiest maritime ports and by nature a crossroads for encounter and exchange, Ca’ Foscari University has always looked beyond national borders – as the levels of excellence it has reached in teaching foreign languages and the extensive, tight, international network of relationships it has developed demonstrate. With its 15 Bachelor degrees, 30 Masters, 32 Professional Master qualifications and several PhD programmes, Ca' Foscari offers an impressive array of courses of study which include numerous international and interdepartmental collaborations. In addition, our new Summer School provides a unique opportunity for students to follow courses taught in foreign languages by teaching professionals from all over the world.
