STUDIUM GENERALE, BOZEN-BOLZANO
I am 73 years young and a newcomer, as my life has been dedicated to the company and my family. At the age of 58, I did my A-levels. That was soon too little for me. When I was offered the opportunity to do the Studium Generale at unibz, I seized it immediately. It was a great enrichment not only for my hobby: as a certified tourist guide, tour guide and hiking guide, the Studium Generale gave me an insight into the art, culture and history not only of our country, South Tyrol. The Studium Generale is definitely a stepping stone to the future.

STUDIUM GENERALE, BOZEN-BOLZANO
I am an alumna of the Bachelor in Agricultural, Food and Mountain Environmental Sciences. Thanks to Studium Generale I could enrich the curriculum of my three-year study programme and approach new subjects, which turned out to be useful during the orientation phase of choosing my future career. I mainly attended courses on economic and political topics with the aim of applying my new knowledge and skills to agriculture, agrobusiness, and agro-industry. The possibility of drawing an individual and interdisciplinary study plan allowed me to get to know different types of students, both regularly enrolled at unibz and adults already in the labor market.
