Arts in Prato

Monash Arts now offers an extensive program of units for credit as well as other study opportunities at the Monash Centre in Prato, Italy. Prato is a vibrant Tuscan town with an historic medieval centre located 20 kilometres north-west of Florence. The Monash University Centre was established in 2001 and is located in the 18th century Palazzo Vaj, in the historic centre of the town. Learn more about the centre online.

The Arts program provides students with a unique opportunity to undertake an enriching study experience in this beautiful city. Many of the units also include opportunities to engage with students from Monash partner institutions around the world, or to include a study tour component, including a field trip to the battlefields of Gallipoli.

The Prato program provides you with an intensive study program. You can choose from a single 6 point subject, through to a full 24 point credit load, spending as little as two weeks and up to four weeks (or even longer) at the Monash Centre in Prato.

That means you can take up to an equivalent full semester of study at the Monash Centre in Prato and gain full credit toward your degree while living in the centre of a Medieval commune amid the landscapes of Tuscany.

Students enrolled in other faculties at Monash should consult their home faculty for advice on whether they can include one or more of Arts faculty offerings among their elective units.
