University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

Overview

Founded in 1175, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) is one of the oldest universities in the world and is widely regarded as one of Italy's top institutions for teaching and research. With a student population exceeding 20,000, including 1,200 international students and 3,500 postgraduates, UNIMORE combines the resources of a large university with the close-knit, welcoming atmosphere of a smaller institution.

Located in one of Europe's most prosperous and innovative regions, the university benefits from its proximity to leading industries, including mechanical engineering, automotive design (home to Ferrari and Maserati), agro-food, ceramic tiles, and manufacturing. UNIMORE maintains strong connections with local businesses, which offer private funding for research and create unique opportunities for job-focused training before graduation.

The university has 14 departments offering a broad range of degree programs, with particular strengths in fields such as Advanced Mechanics and Automotive Design, Smart ICT, Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, Nano- and Emerging Materials, Sustainable Technologies, Genomic and Molecular Medicine, Food and Health, and Economic Analysis methods.
