Start your journey at the University of Bologna with a warm welcome!

Welcome to Unibo: Explore, Connect, Belong is a week of exciting events and initiatives designed to help international students settle in, connect with peers, and discover everything the University and the city have to offer. Whether you are a first-year student or simply new to Bologna, there’s something for everyone!

The week opens with the Official Welcome, where the Vice-Rector for International Relations will greet you and introduce key services and resources. Our Student Ambassadors will also share their experiences, offering tips and insights to make your first days in Bologna a little easier.

Over the following days, you can explore the city with guided walks, visit the Historical University Library, and step inside the MEUS Student Museum, Europe’s only museum dedicated to student life. These experiences are designed to connect you with the University’s history, culture, and community while giving you a sense of the life that awaits beyond the classroom.

We invite you to explore, meet others, and start your time at the University of Bologna with confidence. Your first steps into a new city, a new academic world, and a new community.
