Program Marco Polo/Turandot

The Marco Polo/Turandot Program is a ten-month preparatory course designed for Chinese students aspiring to enroll in Italian universities. This intensive program focuses on Italian language and culture, employing an innovative and pragmatic approach centered on real-world communication. Its goal is to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in their studies at Italian universities.

Alongside our language classes, we offer a range of extracurricular activities designed to enrich your study abroad experience and help you forge new friendships.
Students will have the opportunity to explore Pavia's historical landmarks, such as the Pavia Cathedral and Pavia Castle. Additionally, we'll tour the university's facilities, including its many museums and botanical gardens, providing a deeper insight into the University of Pavia.

"Studying language in Italy has been an incredibly enriching journey, and I owe much of my progress to the exceptional teachers and staff at Foundation Year and Marcopolo/Turandot Program. From day one, I was warmly welcomed into a supportive environment that fostered both academic growth and personal development.
The combination of outstanding teachers, supportive staff, and immersive learning environment creates the perfect setting for language acquisition and cultural exploration. My experience at the Marco Polo/Turandot program offered by the University of Pavia has been nothing short of transformative, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in such a welcoming and inspiring community."
