It is ranked among the world’s Top 100 less-than-50-year old Universities by QS©. The Campus is about 40 minutes tube ride from the historical city centre of the “Eternal City”, Rome, and 20 minutes far from the peaceful Castelli Romani area, notorious for its vineyards and hillside landscape. Our six Schools (Economics, Engineering, Humanities and Philosophy, Law, Medicine and Surgery, and Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences) are located in a vast 600-hectare campus. Each School is provided with its own library, teaching and research facilities, reading rooms, laboratories, canteens and green areas where students can experience a real campus life. The School of Medicine and Surgery is part of the important University Hospital compound, the Policlinico Tor Vergata (PTV), where students can benefit from health care and physical emergency assistance. Furthermore, Villa Mondragone, one of the most beautiful amongst the Tuscolana villas, has become the University of Tor Vergata Congress Centre. It is remembered as the “House of Life” for having hosted and saved children from the Holocaust. Many prestigious national and international congresses are held yearly at Villa Mondragone. Studying in Rome will add an amazing cultural perspective to the quality of your studies. You will live in a city where you can perceive the passing of time simply by strolling across its central streets: ancient, Middle-Age, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism and Modern Rome are ready to be discovered.
