The Monash Prato Homestay Program

Living with a host family is a great opportunity to make your study abroad experience more well-rounded, enjoyable, and even life-changing. This is why we started the Monash Prato Homestay Program in 2017.

So far this year four students from Monash Law and the Monash Business School have taken part in the Homestay Program, experiencing life with a local family in Prato, becoming part of the family’s everyday life, learning more about Italian culture (and some Italian language!) and sharing their culture with the family in return.

From the Ferrari factory to the largest food park in the world

Some say that seeing is believing. Our students from Arts, IT, Science, Business and Economics, and Art, Design and Architecture, who studied in Prato over the months of June and July this year, got out and about visiting museums, factories, organisations and fairs in Prato, Florence, Maranello and Bologna. Site visits are one way that you can learn first-hand about the subject you are studying and they are an important feature of many of the study programs we offer at the Monash Prato Centre. 

Despite the heat, studying in Prato has never been so cool!

Up close with the European Union

The EU’s crises have been grabbing global headlines for almost a decade. But where did these multi-dimensional crises come from? What caused them? What will they do to the EU and what made them a ‘crisis’ in the first place?

 As part of the Arts Semester in Prato program, 44 students from Monash’s campuses in Australia and Malaysia examined these questions during the four-week unit The European Union from Consensus to Crisis.
