University of Italian Studies for Foreigners of Perugia

Programme overview

The programme runs for 1500 hours (60 CFU) and is scheduled in Norcia from February to October 2026. Teaching combines frontal lessons, practical field activities, exercises and collaborative projects. Classes are organised mainly from Thursday to Saturday and students are also expected to participate in seminars, conferences and guided visits offered as extra‑curricular activities.

What you'll study

The didactic plan is structured in four blocks. The first block (held in February) aims to harmonise foundational knowledge for participants coming from different degree backgrounds. The following three, with a stronger professional focus, address:

• rigeneration at city and neighbourhood scale;
• rigeneration at the building scale;
• institutional and socio‑economic fabric, with particular attention to energy and environmental sustainability.

The course combines classroom instruction with on‑site exercises and collaborative project work.

Entry requirements

The publicly posted programme notes that participants come from different laurea classes and that the first teaching block is dedicated to equalising baseline knowledge. The course page does not list specific admission criteria or formal prerequisites.

Career prospects

Graduates complete the programme with applied experience across scales—from neighbourhood and city interventions to building retrofit and institutional planning—with a focused understanding of energy and environmental sustainability. A mandatory 250‑hour stage connects students with public and private bodies, supporting transition to practice in sectors involved in urban regeneration and resilience.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The programme description does not specify scholarships. Students should consult the university’s master and postgraduate services for information on available funding, and note that internship placements are supported through Project Fenice partners and conventions with the Orders of Architects and Engineers of the Province of Perugia.
