Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

Founded in 1997, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano is a comparatively young institution notable for its multilingual environment (Italian, German, English, plus Ladin) and its strong international orientation.It offers over 40 undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD programmes across five faculties in fields such as economics, natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, design & education.Research is well supported, and the university is strongly oriented toward international collaboration and inter-regional networks (e.g. within the Euregio region with Austria and other Italian universities).The student body is moderate in size (~4,000 students), which allows more personalised attention; campus facilities are modern, and student satisfaction and international outlook tend to rank high in national assessments.Student life is influenced by its Alpine location, multilingual culture, small but well-equipped campuses, and a strong “third mission” ethos (engagement with territory, companies, cultural institutions).
