The University of Bergamo is located in Lombardia, a region in Northern Italy with more than 10 millions inhabitants and one of the regions with the highest GDP pro capita in Europe.

The University of Bergamo is a State University with about 16,000 students (undergraduates and graduates), and more than 300 PhD students. The number of students is increasing each year, with a 7% growth rate per year between 2001 and 2011. A staff of 656 members (331 professors & researchers, 95 assisting academic staff, 230 administrative and technical staff) provides a dynamic scientific and teaching environment open to innovations.
The 7 Departments and the Research centers of the University of Bergamo are strictly intertwined in the town life. They are grouped in three campuses located in three different areas. Campus of Economics and Law, Campus of Humanities, Campus of Engineering.
At present consisting of six Departments (Engineering - Foreign Languages, Literatures and Communication Studies - Human and Social Sciences - Law - Letters and Philosophy - Management, Economics and Quantitative Methods) Bergamo University offers a wide variety of opportunities for training and research through its 13 three-year degree courses, 1 five-year degree, and 15 two-year specialization courses in a variety of subjects ranging from Computer engineering, to Tourism management, from Business Administration and Management to Education sciences, from Psychology to Business law.

In close collaboration with businesses in the Lombardy area, and keeping in mind the economic situation here, Bergamo University has set up training courses and research projects aimed at satisfying the requirements of companies and local institutions, so as to guarantee a constant and necessary updating of the skills of professionals and managers. This is thanks to the many agreements reached allowing the provision of stages and traineeships, both for students and researchers, very often within the companies taking part in these schemes.
The University of Bergamo, with the largest number of exchange study schemes abroad for both students and researchers, is one of the key reference points at European level for the teaching of foreign languages and this facilitates the introduction of foreign students into its teaching programmes thanks to the introduction of English language courses into many Research doctorate courses and Master"s courses in the Engineering and Economics faculties. A very important role is played by the "Centre for Italian for Foreigners: research, training and education" which offers foreigners courses of both Italian language and culture at various levels.
