AEF - Accademia Europea di Firenze

AEF: Florence School of Arts, Italian Language and Culture
AEF is in the heart of Florence, halfway between the Duomo and Piazza San Marco. The study centre is located in a late Renaissance palace, the Palazzo Niccolini on Via Cavour, and is fully equipped with modern teaching technology. Most importantly, the city of Florence is used as a large classroom where students can immerse themselves in the art and culture of Florence while getting to know its people and institutions.

AEF offers programmes developed according to the guidelines of the Bologna Process with courses assessed using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) through an equivalence in US academic credit. The ECTS system allows some of the most prestigious European institutions of Higher Education to dialogue with the whole world, defining course characteristics, contact hours, clarity of information, and guidelines for evaluation.
