Multicampus: the University of Bologna also has campuses located in five different cities in the region: Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini. Exchange students can study at either campus or perhaps do courses in more than one campus, although this would mean traveling for one to one and a half hours by train.
Course catalogue: consult the list of course units run by the University of Bologna. The updated list of courses for the following academic year is available from June; prior to this date, students may refer to the list of courses from the previous year, which may however be subject to modification.
Language of instruction: most of the lessons are held in Italian but every year student have more opportunities of studying in the English. Consult the programme catalogue delivered in English (and in other languages) by using the filters in the list of the degree programmes and in the course unit catalogue.
