How long does it take to complete a Master’s in Italy? What are the job prospects in Italy for Indian students?
In Italy, a traditional Master’s degree typically lasts 2 years—this is the standard requirement for graduation and qualification for most postgraduate roles.
The advantage of Italy’s system is most Master’s programs include internships, which significantly enhance employability. In fact, about 70% of students undertaking these placements are offered full-time roles by the same companies. Also Italian master’s degree can open doors to both local Italian companies and MNC’s across Europe.
Post-study work opportunities for international (including Indian) students include a post-study job-seeking visa valid upto 12 months. During this period, you can apply for jobs or even start your own business. Once you secure the job, you can convert the temporary permit into work permit.
Many programs are taught in English but we would recommend learning Italian language skills to get ahead in job search as Italian job market is competitive and learning local language would give you an edge.
