Located in Northern Italy, Turin (also referred to as Torino) is the capital of the Piedmont region. A major industrial, commercial and cultural centre, Turin is home to 12 universities and several higher education institutions.
Turin has a grand history stretching back to its time as the capital of the Kingdom of Savoy between the 16th and 19th centuries, and then the newly-unified Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1865. This heritage can be seen in the city’s imposing boulevards, squares (piazze) and baroque palaces (palazzi), which are arranged according to Turin’s distinctive grid plan.
Modern-day Turin combines industrial, artistic and sporting prowess. As the engine (pun intended) of Italy’s automotive industry, many car companies have bases in Turin (most notably Fiat, which was founded in Turin back in 1899).
Masters students will find much to appreciate in the city’s cultural offerings, which include the Egyptian Museum of Turin and the National Automobile Museum. There’s also the National Museum of Cinema and its impressive collection of film memorabilia, housed in the 167m-tall Mole Antonelliana – a Turin icon.
Any description of Turin would be incomplete without a mention of Juventus FC, the team that has dominated Italian football for several years. Calcio-loving postgraduates should try and attend at least one match at the state-of-the-art Juventus Stadium. If you prefer underdogs, Torino FC are also based in Turin and have a storied tradition of their own.
There are several options for student accommodation in Turin, with university-owned and private residences. EDISU Piemonte, the regional education agency, co-ordinates various university residences and runs a scholarship competition to help talented students secure housing.
With 12 universities and over 110,000 students, higher education plays an important role in Turin. The primary language of instruction is Italian, but many institutions provide English-taught courses. The largest university in the city is the University of Turin (Università degli Studi di Torino), which was founded in 1404 and offers several Masters programmes in English. The Polytechnic University of Turin (Politecnico di Torino) has an excellent reputation in Engineering and Technology-related subjects.
Other institutions in Turin include the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), the Turin School of Development, the Collegio Carlo Alberto and the ESCP Business School’s Italian campus.
Along with Milan, Turin is one of the main industrial and economic centres of Italy. It’s the home of the Italian automotive industry – FIAT Group’s headquarters are in Turin, as well as Lancia and Alfa Romeo.
The aerospace industry is another important part of the economy in Turin, and modules for the International Space Station were built by one of the city’s factories.
Multinational companies with offices in Turin include Kappa, Lavazza, Ferrero and General Motors.
