In Italy, a country with countless opportunities to develop students culturally throughout their university life, you can visit world-famous historic structures such as the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, as well as museums and buildings with unique architecture, and you can do so at a very affordable price. In Italy, which bears the traces of turning points in history such as Ancient Rome, the Renaissance and the Baroque period, you can visit more than 150 museums at student-friendly rates and see 12 sites that are among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

In Italy, transport is mostly by bus, tram, taxi and bicycle. There is a tram line that tours the country’s tourist sights and runs between 05:30 and midnight. Taxis operate at taxi ranks; hailing a taxi on the street is not as common a practice as it is in Türkiye. On the other hand, Italy is a very suitable place for getting around by bicycle and on foot. Since distances are not very long, you can reach many places by bicycle or on foot. 

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

YÖK Equivalence of Italian Universities

The Turkish equivalence of diplomas from Italy is the process of determining that the associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s diploma you have obtained from a foreign higher education institution recognised by the Council of Higher Education, from your university and any of your programmes, is equivalent to the associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s diplomas awarded by higher education institutions in Türkiye, in terms of the learning outcomes at the relevant education level.

What is basically meant depends on whether the compulsory courses you took during your education, and their content, are compatible with the compulsory courses, content and workload of the same department in Türkiye. If this compatibility and suitability is sufficient, equivalence is granted to the diploma or university you received. If this compatibility is lacking, you may be asked to take the courses seen as missing at a university in Türkiye or to sit an equivalence exam. If you score 50 out of 100 in the equivalence exam, equivalence is granted to your diploma.

Recently, important developments have taken place on the subject of equivalence, particularly within the scope of the European Union process and the Bologna Agreement, and YÖK’s stance on this matter has progressed in a very positive direction. In particular, no problem remains in terms of recognition or equivalence for diplomas obtained in European Union countries and in countries that are members of the union. There is also no significant obstacle left regarding the recognition and equivalence of diplomas in countries that are not members of the union but are within the scope of the Bologna Process (e.g. Russia, Ukraine).
