Why the Galilean School

Choosing to study at the Galilean School of Higher Education means embarking on an excellent educational journey within one of Europe’s most prestigious universities, the University of Padua. Each year, the School welcomes highly talented and motivated students, offering them the opportunity to complement their regular university studies with an advanced, interdisciplinary and highly personalized programme. Being part of the Galilean School means more than simply taking additional courses, it means joining a vibrant community, where knowledge is explored thoroughly, with curiosity and a critical mindset.

Students participate in lectures, seminars, and research activities in a stimulating and select environment, in which merit is recognized and valued. Students admitted to the School commit to pursuing a high-level academic program, respecting high performance standards and meeting specific deadlines and learning objectives. The required commitment isn’t insignificant, but it comes with remarkable benefits: free room and board during the academic year, financial contributions for the purchase of materials and for research or study abroad, and—for foreign students—additional support, such as travel reimbursement and an initial scholarship. Studying at the Galilean School also means choosing an environment that enables students to grow together, sharing responsibilities, ambitions, and journeys. It means having the opportunity to interact with renowned professors and researchers, as well as with colleagues who share the same deep passion for knowledge. In short, being part of the Galilean School of Higher Education not only is an enriching experience academically, but also personally.
