This one-year postgraduate course’s program is jointly offered by five Italian universities.
It was 1968 when, the University, originally named “The Institute of Foreign Languages and Literature” was founded in the Upper Town of Bergamo. The initiative of the Minister of Education of the time, Mr. Scaglia, native from Bergamo, together with the resourcefulness of the first rector, Professor Branca, gave rise to a University whose clear objective was to promote a high-level education and training of the most important European languages and cultures. Between 1974 and 1985 the degree course was established, to be then followed by The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. In 1991 the Department of Engineering was established. Shortly after, the University was expected to make a fundamental change. It was November 1st, 1992 when, with Rector Pietro Enrico Ferri, the University became a state institution and changed its name to University of Bergamo. Between 1999 and 2015 two new Departments were founded, Department of Letters Philosophy, Communication and Department of Law, as well as new Bachelor and Master degree courses and PhD programs. Between 2015 and 2021 with the Rector Prof. Remo Morzenti Pellegrini, synergies with local institutions and the entrepreneurial system are increasing to offer students more and more opportunities.
Today with the election of the new rector, prof. Sergio Cavalieri, a new path opens up for the University. During the 2021-2027 six-year period, important challenges will have to be faced and the numerous opportunities offered by a rapidly changing world will have to be taken up.
