IULM University

IULM University (Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione IULM) is a private non-profit university headquartered in Milan, Italy, with an additional campus (Polo di Roma) in Rome. Founded in 1968 by the Fondazione Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori on the initiative of Senator Carlo Bo and Professor Silvio Baridon, it originally focused on modern languages before evolving into a leading institution in communication, media, arts, tourism and fashion. The university has three faculties — Communication; Interpreting and Translation; and Arts, Fashion and Tourism — and offers bachelor (Laurea Triennale), master (Laurea Magistrale), postgraduate masters, executive education, and PhD programmes. It has received a positive institutional and programme accreditation from ANVUR (Italy's national quality assurance agency) as of May 2024. With over 300 international agreements in 30+ countries and students from 71 nationalities, IULM places internationalisation at the core of its identity. The main campus is in Milan's Navigli area (Via Carlo Bo 1), with two university residences — Residence Santander and Residenza Cascina Moncucco — offering on-campus accommodation.
