SJIU Study Abroad Experience

In addition to its degree programs, St. John International offers students enrolled at other universities the opportunity to take part in semester, year, or summer programs at the Della Rovere Castle campus in Vinovo (Torino), Italy. General education and upper-level courses are conducted in English and are reinforced with cultural activities such as visits to museums and monuments, as well as culture and language exchanges with local students.

St. John’s mission is to provide study abroad students with a unique and high-quality academic experience in an international setting, while giving them the opportunity to earn credits required by their home institution. In addition, SJIU offers students an authentic Italian experience in a city that is important commercially and culturally, and which has the added distinction of being the last artistic urban center in Italy to remain largely undiscovered.

The SJIU Campus is located in Castello Della Rovere, in Vinovo. It is a breathtaking Renaissance Castle dating back to the 16th Century. Vinovo is sapproximately 16km or 10 miles from the center of Torino. The town is nestled in an agricultural community with an awe-inspiring view of the Italian Alpes on the horizon. The student residences, which are within walking distance of the campus offer a compfortable and fully-furnished living environment. Vinovo is a friendly safe community that is clean and pollution free with a low cost of living, making it a perfect backdrop for studying.
