Founded on August 6, 1868 as the “Scuola Superiore di Commercio” (Advanced School for Commerce), Ca' Foscari was the first Italian institution to deal with advanced education in Business and Economics. The original main office is still found in the grand gothic palace “volta de canal” (on the bend of the Grand Canal), in the heart of Venice.
As a leading center for academic excellence, Ca’ Foscari strives to attract and nurture talented scholars across the world, offering a distinguished curriculum and delivering cutting-edge research emerging from the active engagement of the hard and digital sciences with the disciplines of our traditional establishment rooted in social sciences and humanities. Our mission is:
As a research university, Ca’ Foscari will strive to shape a world-class scientific profile, leveraging the best skills in our traditional fields to explore new directions in cutting-edge research at the frontiers of our disciplines.
To achieve this, Ca’ Foscari will set out a new research agenda centered around a selection of well-defined themes of global scope and impact, aimed to attract the best scholars worldwide, enhance our research output and international standing, promote the collaborative action among groups and individuals within our faculty and increase our access to competitive research funding.
Providing the best opportunities for our graduates is at the heart of our vision. Ca’ Foscari will renew curricula to prepare them to work adaptively in diverse settings and to operate in a global, fast-evolving society. While pursuing scholarly excellence remains the first premise of our new curriculum development plan, our programs will emphasize multidisciplinary knowledge, critical thinking and problem solving as key elements of a full rounded education scheme; they will be shaped around the research drive of our faculty as well as to the expectations of our main stakeholders, our graduates, to encourage their personal and professional development and provide them with the best career opportunities and a vibrant student life throughout their time at Ca’ Foscari.
Broadened geographical and cultural diversity will be a key factor to foster international awareness and a global mindset within our community. Ca’ Foscari will market the research agenda and a renewed curriculum to attract students, top-quality researchers and administrative staff worldwide. A window on and for the world, Venice will continue to be a powerful brand for our international outreach. Strengthening our cooperation with the local network of cultural and scientific institutions and with the entrepreneurial fabric will be conducive to creating the critical mass required to engage a wider international partnership in our development plans.
The presence of research universities is nowadays widely acknowledged as a necessary condition to bring about innovation-based economic development. Indeed, a key factor in the economic rise of states and regions is a close tie and frequent collaborations among public institutions, companies and a network of first-rate universities. Activating and supporting these collaborations is not just in the interest of regions, institutions and companies, but also of universities. It is also useful for the increased potential of industry funding for demand-led translational research, and for the prolific humus these collaborations create for the professional development of their graduates.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I was expecting better for such a declined faculty. Teachers are not available, the teaching is nothing exceptional, over 2 months to wait for results of examinations, badly managed internship not to mention the very high fees not justifiable given the services offered. After these 3 years it was a real disappointment.

From ex Ca'Foscarina I can not say enough about the work of all the employees.
The years at Ca 'Foscari (2009-2014) have been a mix of culture, study and a daily journey through history, because if Ca' Foscari is an excellent university, the context in which it lives is the most beautiful setting.

They called me a brilliant student, they gave me the best marks, but they still managed to ruin my taxes by denying me 4 years out of 5 the isee reductions through their incredible bureaucratic quirks artfully designed. And yet the average quality of scientific teachings is ridiculous, especially to the specialist.

One of the University of Venice, located in a quiet and artistic quarter near the channel. There is a very interesting courtyard with statues of bears. Also at this university it is the center of the study of Russian culture.

For me it was a wonderful experience, not only academic but life. Experience that has allowed me to make new friends, know very competent and helpful professors, all in a sparkling and captivating setting like Venice. (2012-2016)

One of the best universities in Italy for foreign languages. Former CA, Russian-speaking. The University in Venice was more than the funniest moment of my life, even one of the most productive and interesting periods.
