Teach at Venice International University

Every year, the partner universities produce a programme aimed at preparing students to tackle current global problems. The autumn semester (September to December) focuses on human and social sciences, while the spring semester (March to May) is dedicated to environmental issues. Classes are held on the island of San Servolo.

The partner universities send a member of teaching staff to VIU on secondment each semester and can send between 10 and 15 students. Classes are delivered in English.

• Discover a unique intercultural institution;
• Take the opportunity to network with academics from partner institutions from all over the world.
