The educational mission of the KNIR is to inspire students and early career researchers to explore the potential of carrying out research in Rome and Italy. Here they can delve into the influence and significance of Italy and Italian culture in the past and present, both in Italy and beyond.
Education at KNIR is intensive: you learn a lot within a short time. The 24/7 availability of the library and the new material culture lab contribute greatly to this.
Education challenges and activates you: there is a lot of mutual interaction between lecturer and student and among students; the quality of these relationships contributes enormously to the learning experience.
Read and hear what students think of our education.
