Objectives

Founded in 1997, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (unibz) is a dynamic and multilingual institution based in South Tyrol, where German and Italian cultures blend naturally. Offering degree programmes in German, Italian, English and even Ladin, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano embodies a strong international outlook. Its academic community includes 13% international students and 27.2% international teaching staff—figures well above the national average. The Erasmus programme is a key part of the university’s global engagement, providing valuable opportunities for students and staff to gain international experience and broaden their academic and personal horizons. The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano’s strong focus on mobility has earned it a recognised role within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Latest data from the AlmaLaurea Interuniversity Consortium shows that 23.9% of its graduates have studied abroad—more than twice the national average—underlining the programme’s importance in preparing students for an interconnected world. At a trilingual university like the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Erasmus mobility is not just relevant but essential: it enhances cultural competence, academic depth, and global awareness.
