One of the main novelties for academic year 2022/2023 will be the return to in-classroom learning and teaching, without recurring to dual teaching, except for some resources for specific categories.
Ca’ Foscari is returning to emphasising active teaching as a tool that promotes personal growth, relationships among people, and the experiential aspect of the educational path (in accordance with the decision made in CRUI, Conferenza dei Rettori delle Università Italiane). Depending on how circumstances change, these measures may be modified according to ministerial and regional decrees.
Here you will find the main deadlines and not-to-be-missed opportunities to prepare for an exciting year here at Ca’ Foscari — a year full of events and activities.
