An International Universityin the Heart of Italy
An International UniversityUnicollege is organised into two distinct academic schools — the Undergraduate School and the Graduate School — and three core academic departments, plus a dedicated department for International Affairs and Global Engagement. All programmes are governed by internal regulations fully compliant with the requirements of the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), ensuring full legal and academic recognition within the European Higher Education Area.
A dual-school architecture reflecting a deliberate institutional philosophy: that undergraduate and graduate education, while distinct in purpose and depth, must be conceived as complementary stages of a continuous academic formation.
The Undergraduate School offers a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Languages and Global Careers, structured around a distinctive integrated model that combines advanced language proficiency with specialised disciplinary knowledge. Students pursue two foreign languages — selected from a portfolio of ten — alongside a concentration in a professional field that reflects the realities of global careers.
The degree is fully recognised and accredited by the Italian Ministry of University and Research, and is delivered through the 3A Academic Model — Acquire, Apply, Amplify — across three integrated phases: instructional learning, supervised capstone application, and field-based engagement. All courses are fully documented through defined syllabi, contact hours, and assessable components, supporting credit recognition and transfer review by partner institutions worldwide.
The Graduate School provides advanced academic formation through a portfolio of postgraduate programmes that span master's and doctoral levels, developed both independently and in strategic partnership with internationally recognised institutions.
Master's degrees include the Italian Laurea Magistrale in Specialized Translation and Conference Interpreting — fully accredited by MUR — alongside graduate and doctoral programmes offered in partnership with Westcliff University (USA), enabling students to pursue globally recognised qualifications while remaining anchored in the academic environment of Italy.
Both schools are organised into three core academic departments — bringing together faculty from related disciplines to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, shared research culture, and a coherent approach to teaching and academic governance — alongside a dedicated department for international engagement.
Encompasses the fields of management, economics, law, political science, and diplomacy, supporting both undergraduate concentrations and graduate programmes in these areas.
Covers the fields of cultural heritage, fashion, criminology, history, and the social sciences, providing the scholarly grounding for programmes that engage with the human dimensions of contemporary society.
Anchors Unicollege's foundational commitment to linguistic excellence, supporting the study of ten languages, the interpreting and translation programmes, and the applied language competencies that run across all degree pathways.
Oversees the full spectrum of the institution's international academic activities and study abroad initiatives — semester and year abroad, summer programmes, pre-college and gap year pathways, COIL, faculty-led, rotation, internships, Erasmus, the Columbus Program, and double degrees.
