Italian Students Abroad
United Italian Societies is the largest network of Italian student societies around the world. We are a student-led non-profit dedicated to support, promote and connect Italian students studying abroad through career mentorship, bureaucratic support, research opportunities and events.
Our Network
Showcasing 16 of our 60+ partner universities worldwide
Representing top institutions across the UK, US, Europe, and beyond
Our Objectives
Network
We aim to connect all Italian students and professionals outside of Italy with Italian Institutions and Italian Excellence
Support
We enhance the experience of students in our network by offering various student-led initiatives with no costs.
Representation
We represent Italian students abroad, through the Italian Societies in each university, their elected presidents and their ideas.
Scholarships
We want to turn international mobility into an investment for Italy. Our ultimate goal is to increase accessibility to studying abroad by lobbying for augmented scholarship provisions for low-income Italian students accepted to top universities abroad, and by tutoring high school students for free on how to best apply to universities abroad.

What they say about us
"The determination of the students from United Italian Societies in connecting future leaders is commendable. The ambition and dedication they have shown with the first edition of the Italian Symposium is a source of pride for all Italian institutions in the United Kingdom. Therefore, I am particularly pleased to offer the support of the Embassy and my personal support to the initiative, through which we build bridges between Italy and the United Kingdom and follow a virtuous path of reflection and cooperation that can help grow the new generation of Italian leaders in the UK and the world."
Inigo Lambertini
Ambassador of Italy to the United Kingdom

"It was incredible to meet Alessandro through the UIS Mentorship program. As a mentor, he helped me with numerous interview processes over the past two years, and his advice and availability was pivotal in securing an internship at JP Morgan. On top of this, I have a friendly relationship with Alessandro, which is the best thing you can ask from a mentor!"
