What is the Marco Polo plan?

The Marco Polo Project was launched by the Federation of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) with the aim of strengthening academic exchanges between Italy and China from the end of 2005 onwards and consolidating the stable relations that already exist between the two countries.

More than 50 national universities are participating in the project. Under the implementation of this program, Chinese high school graduates can pursue a three-year undergraduate program at an Italian university, and university graduates can pursue a two-year master's program at an Italian university with free tuition.

Target audience: All Chinese students.

Qualifications: Undergraduate courses: have a high school diploma and a score of no less than 380 in cultural courses in the college entrance examination; Enroll in a Master's program: Bachelor's degree certificate.

Started in 2005, the Marco Polo program is a program that facilitates Chinese liberal arts and science students to study in Italy, as long as students participate in the program, as long as they require a score of 380 or a bachelor's degree certificate, they do not need any language requirements when they go abroad. Every year in March, you go abroad to study the language in Italy for half a year, and then take the school entrance exam and pass the entrance exam.

It's going to Italy, it's suitable for art students.

The approximate cost of the Marco Polo plan mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Language tuition: If you go as an international student, you can save the cost of foreign language study, if you apply for a plan student, you need to pay another 10-11 months of language tuition, ranging from 5500 euros to 6500 euros. Depends on the chosen language school.

2. Accommodation: Generally, in Italy, you choose to share a house, which can be cheaper. 200 500 euros per month, about 50 euros for water and electricity, different cities, different environments, different distances, of course, the rent is also different.

For example, in first-tier cities such as Milan, Rome and Venice, the rent is about 350 to 500 euros.

3. Meals: Generally, international students cook and eat by themselves, or eat in the university cafeteria, which is the most economical, 150-250 euros a month.

4. Transportation: Italian cities are generally relatively small, if you live near the school, you can walk to class. The bus ticket is in Europe, and you can transfer at will within 90 minutes. There are also monthly and annual passes, which cost more than 100 euros a year.

5. Phone fee: about 10-15 euros a month.

After the official admission, Italian public universities are tuition-free, but they need to pay a registration fee every year, ranging from 500 to 2000 euros a year, and there are also more than 3000 euros, such as the Politecnico di Milano. Books cost 10-20 euros a copy, and they are usually photocopied, because Italy is a copyright-oriented country. [Click here for a free professional evaluation of professors at Italian universities].

The Marco Polo Program is an official study abroad pathway, which was established in Italy in 2005 specifically for Chinese students. So don't worry.

There are three main aspects of the fee:

1. After the application is approved, you can go directly to Italy to study in a language school for 11 months, the cost is generally about 5300-6000 euros, which is equivalent to 4-50,000 yuan, and the living expenses such as food and accommodation are about 9-100,000 yuan.

2. After formal admission, public universities are tuition-free, and registration fees are charged every year, generally ranging from 800-2000 euros per year.

3. The cost of living will vary according to the city, generally first-tier cities, such as Rome, Milan, etc., are about 9-100,000 yuan per year. Second-tier cities such as Venice, Bologna, Turin, etc., are about 8-90,000 yuan per year. Third-tier cities such as Lecce and Bari are about 6-70,000 yuan per year.

If you are looking for an intermediary, the cost of half a year in China and half a year abroad is about 10w yuan, and the tuition fee is free after officially entering the university, the annual registration fee is 500-1500 euros, and the living expenses are 6-8w yuan a year.

Hello, I don't know much about whether it is formal to sign up from Huzhou Normal School, I suggest you see if you can find the former seniors and learn more about it. In addition, the fees may vary depending on the specific situation of each intermediary, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. I went to an intermediary in Beijing at that time, and all the expenses before going abroad were about 20,000 yuan or nearly 30,000 yuan (including the cost of Italian language study for about half a year during the preparation period, intermediary fees, notarization and translation of various documents and materials, and certification by the Italian consulate in China, and other miscellaneous expenses.

However, it should be noted that I did not study in Beijing for half a year, but in our local study and accommodation, and then I arrived in Beijing when I had to meet at the embassy, so the cost of living may be different.

The intermediary doesn't know... There are many schools in the Marco Polo plan, and there is a big difference in the consumption level in the area, the most expensive are Milan and Rome, about 150,000 a year, and the cheapest 100,000 a year is enough.

The first is three hard requirements:

1. Hold a high school diploma, or an equivalent diploma (such as technical secondary school or vocational high school). It must be a graduation certificate, and a graduation certificate is not acceptable. In the past, I have encountered some students who have lost their high school diplomas, so they can only be reissued; There are also some students who have not received their high school diplomas because they have not passed the baccalaureate, so they have to take the re-examination exam;

2. Primary school + junior high school + high school, a total of 12 years or above;

3. The college entrance examination score is more than 400 points (750 full points in cultural courses);

Other requirements; 1. When entering the institution, you must take the Italian language certificate, B1 or B2, depending on the institution you want to apply for. For example, the University of Bologna requires students to provide a B2 certificate in Italian; Prospective students at the University of Florence can submit a certificate of Italian language proficiency at B1 level;

2. Take the entrance examination of the institution. Some universities require students to pass an entrance exam; In some universities, even if students do not pass the entrance exam, they can officially register for the university and start their undergraduate studies, but if they do not pass the entrance exam, they may need to take an OFA course in their freshman year.

The application and preparation process of the Polo Plan:

From June to October, students will study Italian for 3-4 months in China (Beijing Campus). Italian is the most important point of studying in Italy, and a good language level will make you more successful in entrance exams, university studies, and life!

At the same time, students who apply for undergraduate studies prepare their own academic materials. The academic materials are as follows: high school graduation certificate, college entrance examination score certificate (go to the provincial recruitment office or go to the provincial education examination institute to issue a certificate), primary and junior high school certificate (if there is a primary school, junior high school and high school graduation certificate, the graduation certificate will be replaced, and if there is no graduation certificate, go to the local municipal education bureau or district education bureau to issue a certificate).

The academic materials prepared by students applying for graduate school are as follows: bachelor's degree certificate, university transcript, university course description (this needs to be written by yourself, and then stamped in the school academic affairs office or college), university graduation certificate, and primary and junior high school certificate (if you have a primary school, junior high school and high school graduation certificate, you will take the graduation certificate instead, and if you do not have a graduation certificate, go to the local municipal education bureau or district education bureau to issue a certificate).

Pre-registration around August begins with pre-registration at the Italian Embassy, and students must be present at the Embassy in person! The Marco Polo and Turandot programs go abroad in October or November, after which students are required to undertake a 10-month or 11-month preparatory language course at an Italian language school.

Upon arrival in Italy in October or November (test centre in Milan): from October or November until the end of August of the following year, you will study in Italy for language studies and preparation for specialized courses. During this period, there are two things to do, the first is to pass the B1 or B2 language level test and get the certificate.

The second is to study in specialized courses and prepare for the entrance exams of Italian universities.

Marco Polo Program application conditions.

1. Have the original high school diploma. Secondary school students or secondary vocational graduates can also provide the corresponding graduation certificate, which is also valid.

2. Primary, junior high and high school, completed a 12-year or more education.

3. The results meet the requirements as follows:

The application conditions for undergraduate students are three basic conditions, any one of which is not met is not able to apply, the application conditions for graduate students are relatively simple, you can graduate from a domestic university with a bachelor's degree, you can also take a self-examination for an undergraduate, and you can also upgrade to a bachelor's degree. A bachelor's degree certificate and a university diploma are required.

Hello dear, the Marco Polo program and the Turandot program are two different programs, initiated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA respectively. The goal of the Marco Polo program is to explore Mars and achieve long-term human settlement on Mars. The plan includes sending probes and human spacecraft to Mars, as well as establishing a Mars base to explore the geology and life of Mars.

The program takes its name from Marco Polo, a 14th-century Venetian merchant and traveler. The main goal of the Turandot program is to return to the moon and build an orbital space station on the moon similar to the International Space Station, cooperating with many countries to develop space technology. The name of the program** is a reference to the moon god in ancient Greek mythology.

Thus, the Marco Polo program focused on exploring Mars and establishing human settlements on it, while the Turandot program focused on returning to the moon, building an orbiting space station, and promoting cooperation in space science and technology between countries. Hope you find this helpful! I wish you a happy life and all the best!
