Foundation Year

The Foundation Year at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice is a preparatory programme designed for international students who plan to begin undergraduate studies in Italy. It offers the academic and language support needed to meet university admission requirements while easing the transition into the Italian higher education system. 

Set in the unique context of Venice, the programme combines high-quality instruction with an international environment, giving students the chance to experience university life in one of Italy’s leading institutions. By the end of the year, participants are well-prepared — both academically and culturally — to start their degree studies with confidence.
