Florence University of the Arts (FUA), located in Florence, Italy, was founded to promote and renew the creative disciplines by going beyond the classroom and integrating students into the multicultural societies and creative presences in Florence. FUA students learn to deeply understand the principles of the past and how they are present in today's context and transform learning, knowledge and cultural experiences into instruments that shape tomorrow's future. Florence's Historic Centre is named one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites for its extraordinary Renaissance architecture and art galleries.
