Gain access to professional resources, including a filming studio, editing suite, cameras, and production equipment.
Located just steps from Piazza Santa Croce and built on the ruins of a 2,000-year-old amphitheater, the campus draws students from around the world

"My Nonno encouraged me to study in Florence because they have incredible programs encouraging artistry and education, and the views, history and architecture are simply incredible. Florence is more like a small town than a big city. It feels like you're in a place you know and love."
