through its capital position in Tuscany, a site where many
of Italy’s important moments unfolded throughout time.
Florence today, with its unique characteristics coupled with
a primary position in international and Italian tourism,
economy, and culture, is an intriguing example of how past,
present, and future blend together in a stimulating expression
of the European city. Students seeking to study abroad in
Florence find themselves immersed in an environment where
all areas of human experience and study offer continuous and
multifold opportunities to learn and be profoundly changed
by the life and activity taking place here.

understanding, participation, and contribution to the city by
FUA students from all disciplines, personal backgrounds, and nationalities.
The benefits of studying abroad at FUA begin with the flexibility
of the institution’s academic sessions offered throughout the year.
An exceptionally broad and stimulating curriculum is available
through diverse areas of studies and academic disciplines.
In addition to academics, studying abroad with FUA features
several experiential components such as educational field
trips, getting involved in the local culture through community
service and volunteer opportunities, as well as extracurricular
activities organized by FUA’s Student Life Department and
Development Office whose dedicated staff assists students
through every step of getting them to Florence, from
admissions to academics and centrally located housing.
FUA works with many affiliate partners worldwide for the
