The Iuav is a small university with an enrolment of approximately 6200 students. The number of students is limited to guarantee the quality of education offered. The academic staff includes 545 professors, 192 of which are tenured or tenure-tracked (67 full professors, 92 associate professors and 33 researchers) and 5 non-tenured extraordinary professors. Highly acclaimed professors, different kinds of expertise (professional, research), from over thirty countries of the world.
What makes the Iuav special is the emphasis it places on project-based learning. It is the only university in Italy entirely devoted to teaching the planning and design of everything related to the spaces and environments in which we live: buildings, cities and landscapes; objects of daily use and graphics; cultural, theatrical and multimedia events.
Studying at the Iuav means living in an environment that is open to what is happening throughout the world. It means coming face-to-face with authoritative voices in the fields of architecture, regional planning, arts and design.
