UniTrento

Founded in 1962 as University Institute of Social sciences at the initiative of Bruno Kessler, the University of Trento became a state university in 1983, with a charter that guarantees self-government. In its over 60 years of history, it has always provided a stimulating environment for study and research.

The University of Trento is located in one of the most fascinating Italian regions: Trentino. Known for its mountains, the Dolomites, one of UNESCO's world heritage sites, Trentino is a borderland between the Mediterranean area and Central Europe. The region has always benefited from its location to innovate and create new ideas, a sort of Silicon Valley in the Alps, as some media have dubbed it.

National (CENSIS) and international (QS World University Ranking) rankings position UNITN at 1st place among Italian medium-sized universities (2023). Worldwide, the University of Trento is ranked 457 (QS World University Ranking, 2023) and position 401-500 (Times Higher Education THE, 2023).

The University of Trento has 16,500 Students enrolled, 1,600 Professors, researchers, and staff, 11 Departments and 4 Centres, 1,200 outgoing students and 600 incoming students per year.
