Our idea of university To create a network of European students Higher Education in Italy. Ended the process of monetary unification, UDU believes that should begin the process of political unification. Battles should begin at European level, promoted from the cooperation of students of all European countries, in order to ask that Europe becomes the Country in which a public education of high level is a right for every citizen. What came out of that meeting, is an European week in november, when local Unions of the widest range of countries as possibile, will demonstrate in order to say what European students think about the unfication of the continent.
Grants come assigned with a mixed system of social and academic criteria.
The access from advanced schools to the university is free for the greater part of the faculties. There is numerus clausus for medicine, architecture, veterinary. Here, the admission depends on the result of the admittance-test, and on the ballot obtained to the final examination of the advanced schools. In 1997 the university students were 1,650,000. All the issues in university matter come decided from the Ministry and the government as far as the general criteria, but every university has its statutory, legislative, financial institution and, from the next year, didactic autonomy.
