Highlights of the Course

Orientation
SDC staff hosts an orientation day where we walk you through the city and show you all the major sites and places that you may need to go during your stay. At orientation we will also educate you on day to day life in Italy, health and safety and Italian customs and culture.

Language
The course is taught in English by International lecturers from around the world. No need to study Italian before you arrive. Although there is nothing stopping you from learning a little while you're here!

Social days
Each week you will have a planned social event by the College where all students will get together and do something exciting. Weekends are free so students like to travel a little and see all the treasures of Italy.

Learning in the City
Summer in Milan is beautiful! We don't waste all our time inside the Campus. Some lectures and assignments are conducted outside in parks, piazzas, cathedrals or even in a castle

Where will I stay?
