Semester Courses 2021 at LAO

​The emergency periods force us to find creative and appropriate solutions to the new situation. Many countries still face a few months of restrictions, especially with regards to travel and accommodation in other countries. LAO has decided to offer students who will not be able to arrive in Italy in October, the opportunity to start the school year from January 2021, and to enter the second year of study starting from October 2021. Students from non-European countries will thus have time to organize their transfer to Italy, and to obtain a study visa. It will be another beautiful year of stay in the splendid setting of Florence.
