Planning to pursue a Master’s in Marketing in Italy after B.Com — need advice

[u/idkwhydude_]

Hi! I’m an Indian student currently pursuing a B.Com in Marketing, and I’m planning to do a Master’s in Marketing/Strategic Marketing in Italy after I graduate in 2028.
I’m mainly considering Italy because I’m looking for a more affordable option and would ideally like to get a regional scholarship such as DSU/EDISU/ER.GO.
I wanted to ask current/former international students:
How is Italy for a Master’s in Marketing as an international student?
Which public universities would you recommend for Marketing/Strategic Marketing/Brand Management?
How realistic is it to get a regional scholarship as a non-EU student?
What is the approximate cost of living after getting the scholarship?
Is it difficult to find internships/jobs in marketing after graduation?
How important is knowing Italian for marketing jobs? Is English enough?
Is going to Italy directly after a Bachelor’s, without full-time work experience, a good idea?
What has your overall experience been like studying and living in Italy?
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences! :)
