Italian university switches to English By Sean Coughlan, BBC News education correspondent 16 May 2012 Last updated at 09:49 GMT Milan is crowded with Italian icons, which makes it even more of a cultural earthquake that one of Italy's leading universities - the Politecnico di Milano - is going to switch to the English language. The university has announced that from 2014 most of its degree courses - including all its graduate courses - will be taught and assessed entirely in English rather than Italian. The waters of globalisation are rising around higher education - and the university believes that if it remains Italian-speaking it risks isolation and will be unable to compete as an international institution. "We strongly believe our classes should be international classes - and the only way to have international classes is to use the English language", says the university's rector, Giovanni Azzone.
