Marco Polo and Turandot Projects

Marco Polo and Turandot Projects are innovative initiatives designed to facilitate the enrollment of Chinese students in Italian universities. These projects, named after the famous Italian explorer Marco Polo and the legendary Chinese princess Turandot, aim to bridge the gap between the East and the West by promoting cultural exchange and academic collaboration.

The Marco Polo Project: A Pathway to Italian Universities for Chinese Students. The Marco Polo Project, launched in 2004, is a unique initiative that allows Chinese students to study in Italy. The project provides a one-year Italian language course to prepare students for their university studies. After completing the language course, students can enroll in any Italian university or higher education institution of their choice.

Accademia Studioitalia offers a specialized course tailored for the Marco Polo and Turandot Projects. This course spans 1,000 lessons and runs from Monday to Friday, starting at 09:15 AM and concluding at 12:30 PM. The course is conducted over a duration of 40 weeks. It is important to note that this course is designed for beginners, providing Chinese students with the foundational language skills needed to pursue further studies in Italian universities.

At the conclusion of this specialized course offered by Accademia Studioitalia, students have to do the official certification in the Italian language: the CILS (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera) certification at either the B1 or B2 level. This certification serves as a formal recognition of their proficiency in the Italian language and can be a valuable asset as they continue their academic journey in Italian universities through the Marco Polo and Turandot Projects.
