University of Bergamo

The University of Bergamo is located in Lombardy, a region in Northern Italy with more than 10 million inhabitants and one of the regions with the highest GDP pro capita in Europe. With a history older than the foundation of Rome, Bergamo grew as a key town in Mediaeval times and is now a bridge between Western and Eastern Europe: its airport is the Southern Europe hub for Ryanair and other low-cost airlines, turning over 13 million passengers in 2022. The University of Bergamo is a State University with more than 21,000 students (undergraduates and graduates), and more than 260 Ph.D. students. 7% of students are foreigners. The educational offer includes 51 three-year and master’s degree courses. 13 Master’s degrees are taught in English.

The number of students is increasing each year. A staff of about 1,000 members (professors & researchers, assisting academic staff, administrative and technical staff) provides a dynamic scientific and teaching environment open to innovations.

The 8 Departments and the Research centers of the University of Bergamo are strictly intertwined in the town life. They are grouped in 3 campuses located in three different areas in Bergamo
