Cortona, originally uploaded by Paula Solanoy.
If you've been to a U of A recruitment event in the this year, you would have heard mention of the Faculty of Arts campus in Cortona, Italy!
Each Winter term, students from all disciplines and universities travel to Cortona, Italy and enrol in Arts courses that take advantage of this unique Tuscan location.
U of A professors conduct regular classroom lectures (in English) on diverse topics like Renaissance Art, Roman Civilization, Archaeology and Social History, Italian-based literature and introductory Italian courses. Instead of studying it in a textbook, students actually travel to see Michelangelo's David. Instead of learning Italian in a lab, the students live it!
I wish this had been around when I was a student!!
