International student enrollment

The University of Macerata (UniMC) is one of the world’s oldest universities (est. 1290) with a rich history and a strong commitment to academic excellence, dedicated to the social sciences and the humanities, offering degree courses that span from law to education, from political science to the languages, literature, and philosophy, from cultural heritage to economics, from communication science and linguistics to tourism. 

Situated in the beautiful Marche region in Central Italy, the marvellous student-friendly city campus of Macerata boasts an excellent standard of living, clean air, a vibrant multicultural cultural scene, and offers the chance to live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy great Italian cuisine rich in quality products.

Down through the centuries, UniMC has woven a dense network of international relations. Today, this worldwide network offers many valuable opportunities for our students to enjoy unique learning experiences and exposure to different teaching methods from all around the world.

The University of Macerata is a member of ERUA (European Reform University Alliance), a transnational European University group supported by the European Commission that brings together universities located in eight countries (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Spain) specialising, like Macerata, in the social sciences and the humanities. ERUA aims to lead the way towards the universities of the future, promoting European values and identity, and revolutionising the quality of European higher education through a ground-breaking cooperation model.
