Promote multilingualism · Encourage international mobility · Foster intercultural interaction
 
 
STUDY TRIPS
 
 
Taking part in a study trip or mobility period at a foreign university is one of the most meaningful experiences a university student can have. It's not just about studying abroad, but about developing as a person and as a global citizen.
At Bona Sforza, we organize these kinds of experiences every year with the aim of developing students' language skills and cultural openness, as well as personal growth through a human experience that will leave a lasting impression
 
 
For the 2025-2026 academic year, we will be organizing:
 
  1. Study trip to Tokyo, Japan, arriving on January 5th and departing January 31st. Partner school: the Intercultural Institute of Japan in Akihabara
  2. National Model United Nations in NYC from March 27th to April 3rd, 2026. New York UN Ambassador of the Future is the conference dedicated to university students.
  3. Study trip to Seoul, Korea, Start: Jul 19, 2026 End: Aug 9, 2026
  • Summer School "Roots of War & Establishment of a Lasting Peace" in Tirana, September 2026.
  • Summer School at the Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages, August 2026.
     

LANGUAGE CERTIFICATIONS

At SSML Bari Bona Sforza, we believe in the importance of language certifications as proof of milestones in an ongoing educational journey.
A language certification enriches and completes your résumé, opens doors to international projects, internships, and ultimately the job market

For this reason, we encourage students to obtain one or more certifications in their degree languages and also in their third language, if applicable.
Here all 9 languages
