Discover a life in the Eternal City. Join our small, diverse community and enjoy one of Europe’s finest capital cities while experiencing university as an international student. You will gain a fresh perspective on your studies, on yourself and on your relationship with other cultures.

For many degree seeking students, studying abroad is about a brief ‘excursion’ at a partner school, with some credit hours attached. However, increasing numbers of students are now recognizing the benefits of spending more of their undergraduate career as ‘foreign students’. Instead of limiting their education abroad to a few weeks, more and more students are transferring to overseas universities to complement or complete their university experience.

The American University of Rome offers outstanding academic opportunities combined with the chance to explore Rome, Italy and Europe. While completing your studies your focus will primarily be about the academic quality and about developing the skills you need to enter the global workplace. However, it should also be about ‘the experience’; about seeing new places, meeting new people and challenging the limits of your life.
