Savvas Chrysafinis Written 13 years ago

hello i ve been accepted from my university for erasmus in university degli di siena with 2 friends of mine... we are now searching for lessons so we can send the application form to accept us from siena... we cant wait to come to siena... does anyone know if there are any english lessons for economics or bussines studies or they are all in italian ?

Heidi Rankinen Written 13 years ago

Hey, I am going to Siena for spring 2011. I am so excited!!! Cannot wait.
Savvas I am also planned to take courses in English from those business programs.

Tanja Tanja Written 13 years ago

Hey,
I'm very happy to find people who are going to siena too.
Do you both study economy?
I don't know if there are lessons in english, because i'm studying languages and it wouldn't make any sense if the lessons were in english. But perhaps there are english lessons for the other fields of study.
You both don't speak italian at all?
When do you arrive in Siena? Have you already found a flat?

Heidi Rankinen Written 13 years ago

Hey Tanja,
yes I'll take business courses at Siena. There are few business and economics master programs running entirely in English.
I am hoping to learn the language at Siena, but I think for me it would be too difficult to follow courses in Italian. I think I'll arrive there some when in February. How about you? About flat I have no clue yet. Hope to find something before going there or short after arriving.

Savvas Chrysafinis Written 13 years ago

hello Heidi.. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate student ? i am an undergraduate.. i will come probably around 19 january because i will participate in the italian learning courses from 1-25 feb... the only problem i have right now is that the University of Siena hasnt respond me possitive yet...

Tanja Tanja Written 13 years ago

Hey Heidi,
I also will arrive in February, but I don't know exactly when...
I already wrote some email because of the flat and I think it will be very difficult.... they alwas respond me that they don't want erasmus students (because of the short time and because they can't know them before arriving)
it will be very hard but I hope I will find a flat before going to Siena....
Do you also participate the italian language course?

Paramaribo . Written 13 years ago

Hello,
I'm planning to apply for an Erasmus programme in Siena in 2011/2012. Does anybody know the faculty of economics? Are there any particularities, what is its main focus? So is it more business-orientated or mathematical/statistical? Applied or rather theoretical?
Thanks for your answers... :-)

Tanja i applied fot the italian course 1-25 feb but they said to me that i am in a waitting list

Tanja Tanja Written 13 years ago

I have decided that I don't partecipate the language course because I can't arrive the 1 feb and if I go to the course in march than I can't partecipate at the normal lessons. So you'll arrive already in january?
But I already speak italian and the international office told me that there aren't courses for advanced learners, thats why the cours would be very boring for me...
I thought that all students will have the possibility to partecipate on the course.... don't you speak italian at all?
Do you have facebook?

Savvas Chrysafinis Written 13 years ago

Yes i have fb this is my real name you can find me and add me :)
