Our PhD programme is deeply rooted in the cultural legacy of Guglielmo Marconi and looks toward the future of the ICT world through active participation in research and development projects funded by international institutions, industries, and SMEs.
ET-IT is taught entirely in English, providing opportunities for international students and inviting researchers and professors from leading universities worldwide. This enhances the dissemination of research findings and broadens placement opportunities.
The Alma Mater Studiorum, the oldest university in the Western world, paves the way for innovation through an increasingly rich program catalog, cutting-edge research and a constant and increasingly broad international perspective.
Since its origins in 1088, Alma Mater has been student-centred hosting prominent figures from science and the arts. Based on five campuses (Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna, Rimini), with a branch in Buenos Aires, it offers a teaching catalog diversified and tailored to the needs of present-day society: 260 degree programs and 51 PhD Programme among its 31 Departments are offered to over 96,000 students.
As a comprehensive research university, Alma Mater invests in the multidisciplinary cross-cultural approach and in the inseparable connection between research and teaching. One of the most active universities leading and participating in European research and academic cooperation projects, Bologna has formed knowledge alliances with industry and public/private organizations. It is a hub of international networks. Beyond its close European links, it enjoys multiple connections with America, Africa, Asia and Australia.
