Milan, Italy's economic and fashion capital, is known for its Duomo, Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, La Scala opera house and world-famous fashion week. With universities such as Bocconi and international companies, it is a favourite of career-focused students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Milan. Language schools in Milan and programs at institutions such as Bocconi, Milano-Bicocca and the International School of Milan are among the options.
In Milan you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one level of Italian usually takes 4-8 weeks, and to reach a level where you can communicate in daily life we recommend a 2-4 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the visa and travel health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Italy's missions in Turkey for a national (D) student visa. Language courses usually require enrolment on an intensive program of at least 20 hours a week, proof of funds and health insurance, and after arriving in Italy you apply for a residence permit (permesso di soggiorno) within 8 days.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Student houses and shared flats are common in Milan; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Milan are among the highest in Italy, especially rent. Homestays and shared flats help balance the budget.
Milan has a network of metro, trams and buses covering the city, with discounted passes for students.
Milan has a continental-influenced climate, with hot, humid summers and cold, sometimes foggy winters.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) take about 3 hours; the Malpensa Express reaches the city centre in about 50 minutes.
Because Italy uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Milan is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
