Welcome to Università Iuav di Venezia, a prestigious university located in the heart of Venice – a unique city renowned worldwide for its history, culture, and experimental approach to architecture, design, planning and the arts.

Università Iuav di Venezia promotes internationalisation through Double Degree (DD) programmes, developed in cooperation with selected international partner universities.
