"TOR VERGATA" UNIVERSITY CAMPUS OF ROME

Since its foundation seventeen years ago, the aim of the University of Tor Vergata has been to create a "new" university with vast open-air and indoor areas and good student/teacher relations; a place, moreover, where students can study in well-lit lecture rooms, consult libraries, make use of the laboratories available in each faculty or simply socialise in specially designed meeting places.
The good balance between the scientific and the humanistic faculties helps make academic relations extremely fruitful and stimulating. In addition to the vast range of choice offered by the Roman as well as by other Italian universities, the University of Tor Vergata also wishes to be known as a residential university in which professors and students live in close contact to one another and in a mutually stimulating environment.
Furthermore, within the 600 hectares of campus, there is the "Tor Vergata" Research Area of the National Council for Research. This comprises seven institutes where both professors and students, can carry out research activities, prepare degree or doctorate theses and acquire work-experience.
Thanks to the presence of the "Parco Scientifico Romano", this concentration of research activity is a great attraction for industry, as it represents an ideal environment in which to develop new technologies and exchange experience and human resources with the University and the National Council for Research. By the year 2000 a 400 bed university hospital will be completed.
