The Welcome Unit of the International Relations Office will welcome about 300 new students for the second semester of a.y. 2017/18.

The exchange students will come to Venice from Europe and beyond through Erasmus, Overseas, ICM programmes or within Double/Joint degrees held with Ca’ Foscari. There is an increase in extra-EU students and in particular from Vietnam and China, whereas Kazakh students have been coming to Ca’ Foscari for the very first time in September 2017.

International students will be supported by the Welcome Unit throughout their experience.
At their arrival at  the Venice Airport they will find a Welcome Unit desk from January 22nd to February 2nd, from 10am to 6pm providing them with useful information to get to the city.
Months before their arrival they will receive useful information as well as the list of the 'Buddies'.

Buddies are Ca’ Foscari students who are committed to support international students in their daily lives, to help them discover the city and to introduce them to our university life, taking the opportunity to discover the international community of our university.
Chinese and Japanese students will get ‘special’ Buddies who speak Chinese or Japanese.

All the new international students will be greeted during  the Welcome Day organized in collaboration with ESN Venezia on February 2nd. From 10am to 5pm students will meet  the international office team who will present their services, and they will discover the university main building before raising a glass to the new member of our international community.
Students will also receive a Welcome Guide and useful documentation for their upcoming semester.

Extra-EU students will also meet the Welcome Unit staff for one-to-one appointments regarding their residence permits.
