Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) is a young and agile university that offers its students a quality education and an enhancing study experience. International faculty teach students with an interdisciplinary, engaging and interactive approach, leaving room for practical application. The quality of the study curricula is complemented by USI small size, its cosmopolitan environment and its informal and dynamic culture. These elements make USI a hub of opportunity open to the world, where students can engage in direct dialogue with their professors and define their educational path, discover unexpected horizons, and embrace international careers.

USI is a recognised or accredited Swiss university. Academic qualifications obtained at USI Faculties are therefore also recognised abroad, on the basis of international conventions.

I am Thomas, a Swiss-Italian student at USI. Let me show you around! USI has a great atmosphere. I’m from Varese and quickly made friends here. I love how approachable the professors are, bringing international experience to our studies. I’m doing a Master’s in Finance because of its global recognition and English instruction. My goal is to work for an international bank and travel. Studying at USI means balancing work, academics, and free time!
