About University of Turin
The University of Turin (UniTo) is an Italian public university founded in 1404 and one of the oldest and largest universities in Italy. It is a general, multidisciplinary university; engineering and architecture in the city are taught separately at Politecnico di Torino, so UniTo concentrates on the sciences, medicine, law, economics, social sciences and the humanities.
Its academic strengths include economics and management, law, medicine and surgery, life sciences, chemistry, physics, agricultural and veterinary sciences, psychology, and languages. The Campus Luigi Einaudi, a modern riverside complex, houses law, political and social sciences, while other departments are spread around the city and the Piedmont region. Among its alumni are several Nobel laureates, reflecting a long research tradition in medicine and science.
For international students, the University of Turin offers English-taught Master's programmes and some Bachelor's programmes, in fields such as economics, business, biotechnology and international studies. Turin is a large, well-organised city with lower living costs than Milan, a strong cultural scene and easy access to the Alps. Students looking for a wide choice of non-engineering programmes in northern Italy often compare UniTo.
