The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano was founded in 1997. Our university has a strong international outlook, as testified by its multilingual courses (German, Italian, English and Ladin) and the high number of students and teaching staff from abroad.
The university has five faculties, and a high percentage of lecturers (35%) and students (17%) come from abroad and they study, teach and do research in the fields of Economics, Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Education and Design. We have 4,100 students registered to more than 30 undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses.
If, on one hand, many of our research projects tackle global environmental, economic, social or technology topics, on the other hand many are deeply rooted in our region. They address the current issues of sustainable use of resources, socio-economic development and lifelong learning within the Alps. The main features of our research are interdisciplinary collaboration and interaction with local companies. Despite its recent foundation, unibz in the past few years has already established itself as an important research institution, both in Italy and abroad.
The Career Service is the link between unibz and the job market. It supports students and graduates in the critical transition from being a student to finding a job. Our staff provide individual advice on internships, job applications, interviews, dissertation projects carried out on-site, recognition of work experience, jobs and scholarships. We also organise seminars, workshops and company visits.

Based on 49 reviews
My university offers a wide range of high-quality workshops that truly enhance the learning experience. The sessions are well-organized, engaging, and led by knowledgeable instructors. It�s a great environment for developing new skills and exploring different fields beyond the traditional classroom setting.
The University of Bolzano is a small college. The advantage is that it is easier to socialize with other students or talk individually with professors. I also really appreciate the trilingual teaching system. There are minor organizational problems, in recent months there has been a large turnover of staff, but the level of teaching is high and I am generally satisfied.
I study in the Business Informatics faculty with a focus on the business and marketing side. The course content is complete and mostly well taught, and I especially appreciate the real-life projects and practical assignments because they really help connect theory to actual situations. One challenge, though, is the trilingual structure of the program, which made it more demanding than expected at times. Still, I would recommend it, especially for those looking for a strong combination of IT and business skills.
