The Italian Embassy in South Korea, led by Ambassador Emilia Gatto, will host the third annual "Sii! Study in Italy 2026" fair on October 31 at High Street Italia in the Gangnam district of Seoul.
Co-organized with the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ITCCK), and the Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT), the event will feature over 20 major Italian universities and art schools, presenting various study opportunities to Korean students.
Italy offers high-quality education and research opportunities not only in traditional fields such as art, design, fashion, and architecture but also in engineering, science, economics, management, and humanities. Notably, many degree programs are available in English, allowing students who do not speak Italian to explore diverse academic paths.
The fair will include university-specific presentations, Q&A sessions, and individual admissions counseling with representatives from Italian universities. Attendees can learn about academic programs, admission requirements, application procedures, and student visa information.
Additionally, the Italian Embassy has produced a "Practical Guide for Italian Students" that provides comprehensive information on everything from university selection and application support to scholarships, visas, residence permits, and local living.
A special raffle event will also take place during the fair, offering prizes including round-trip tickets to Italy. The raffle will be held after each university presentation, and winners must be present to claim their prizes.
Following the fair, from 6 PM to 9 PM, a cultural exchange event titled "HI! Generation" will allow Korean and Italian youth to share their cultures and experiences.
On the day before the fair, October 30, a separate academic cooperation forum will be held, bringing together university representatives from Korea and Italy to discuss ways to enhance joint research and educational exchanges.
The "Sii! Study in Italy 2026" fair is open to students and parents interested in studying in Italy, as well as anyone considering university or overseas study. Admission is free.
This year marks the 142nd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Italy, with President Yoon Suk Yeol and Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visiting each other's countries to deepen cooperation. The Italian Embassy in Korea is actively promoting various exchange and cooperation programs in line with this initiative.
