With more than 23,000 students and nearly 1,400 staff, UNIVE is organised into 8 Departments, 3 Schools and an International College, committed to developing  the next generation of researchers, scientists and academics through collaboration across disciplines, advanced research projects and innovative study programs. It offers highly qualified education and promotes frontier research, through the active application of physical sciences and digital sciences to a century-old tradition rooted in the economics and management, social sciences, languages and humanities (660th QS rankings). The exploration of new directions in cutting-edge research is consequently at the core of several projects and interdisciplinary research groups who address the global challenges through national and international collaborations.
