Turin, at the foot of the Alps, was Italy's first capital and is the centre of its car industry, known for the Egyptian Museum, baroque palaces and chocolate culture. With the Politecnico di Torino and the University of Turin, it is an important student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Turin. Italian schools in Turin and courses at the Politecnico di Torino and the University of Turin are among the options.
In Turin 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 Turin; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Turin are around the Italian average, with rent lower than in Milan or Rome.
Turin has a network of metro, trams and buses covering the city, with discounted passes for students.
Turin has a continental-influenced climate, with hot, humid summers and cold, sometimes foggy winters.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Turin Airport (TRN) take about 3 hours; buses or trains reach the city centre in about 30-45 minutes.
Because Italy uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Turin is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
You can decide with NGGlobal which school, course and type of accommodation suit you best. We follow the whole process for you, from application and visa to arrival.
