Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma

University in Rome, Italy

The Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma (UCBM) is a non-state university in Rome, founded in 1993 on the initiative of members of Opus Dei. Since 2008 its campus has been in Trigoria, in the south of Rome, within the Decima di Malafede Nature Reserve, next to the Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, with which teaching is closely linked. Teaching is organised in three departmental faculties:

  • Medicine, Surgery and Dentistry
  • Engineering
  • Science and Biotechnology for Food, Nutrition and Health

Programmes include three-year bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, single-cycle master's degrees, specialisation schools, PhDs and postgraduate masters. For international students, the six-year Medicine and Surgery programme and the Medicine and Surgery "MedTech" programme, which combines medicine with biomedical engineering, are taught in English, with separate admission procedures for non-EU citizens living abroad. The university has an International office. Its Right to Study Office helps students find accommodation, including the Borgo Primo Centro guesthouse next to the campus and partner residences in Rome.
