The Higher Education Review

Established and recognized by MIUR in 2004, the Guglielmo Marconi University is the first university in the national academic panorama of Italy to offer its students a model of distance learning. As the first Italian digital university to be accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education in 2004, Guglielmo Marconi University works with a notion to introduce technology across the spectrums of higher education to allow wider access to education for students who couldn't study and work only in a residential way.

Apart from allowing students, both domestic and international, to access education, Guglielmo Marconi University is also on a mission to promote the Italian culture and educational tradition and innovation. In almost two decades of its functioning, Guglielmo Marconi University has continuously invested in infrastructures and technologies to seamlessly evolve and obtain an effective, cutting-edge, and extremely flexible Digital E-learning educational model, i.e., capable of constantly responding to the needs of a continuously changing society.

Contributing To The Innovation Sector In Italy
Since its establishment, the Guglielmo Marconi University has been promoted and supported by the Marsilio Ficino Foundation, a recognized non-profit organization, which ensures its governance and strategic direction.Guglielmo Marconi University is today considered among the best in the e-learning sector for the quality of teaching, for relations with the world of business and professions and as an international reference point for research and scientific cooperation agreements. The modality of provision of the programs enables the Guglielmo Marconi University to stand out amongst the other higher education institutions across Italy.

“We are going to contribute to the innovation sector in Italy in a way that was never attempted before by satisfying the needs of people that cannot afford to move to the main cities of the country for higher education. With an innovative technological infrastructure that our university can provide, we are providing students with a chance to access higher education via online learning,” shares Alessio Acomanni, WW President and General Director of Guglielmo Marconi University.

Apart from special programs in the business sector, such as MBA, Executive MBA, DBA, Digital Marketing, and so on, for international students, the university also caters to courses that are directly linked to the so-called “Italian Made in Italy”, such as fashion management, interior design, and more. Guglielmo Marconi University has six schools dedicated to Economics, Engineering, Political Sciences, Educational Sciences, Law, and Humanities.

“The university – continues Dr. Acomanni - offers 21-degree programs that consist of undergraduate and graduate programs along with a series of post-graduate/ master's programs, short courses, and PhDs. Guglielmo Marconi University provides courses in more than 10 different languages including English and offers programs at all levels of the education system which encourages our students to complete the whole cycle of education at the university”.

Offering Quality & Industry-Centric Curriculum
Lately, most international students have opted for Guglielmo Marconi University as their study abroad destination since the university offers them the opportunity to study online and get an official Italian and European certification without

leaving their homes. With an intention to integrate its online curriculum part with an authentic brick and mortar classroom, the university has been developing a dormitory of the university that will be ready next November.

According to Dr Acomanni, this ideology, apart providing students with a high quality in-presence training, will also help them to acquire European cultural experience as they further explore the beauty and life-style of Rome during their Tenure at Guglielmo Marconi University. Guglielmo Marconi University believes in the alignment of its contents with the industry requirements, and therefore, it ensures that the competencies and skills the universities should offer should be of the highest quality and industry-centric.

“We have developed an innovation hub that ensures a series of ground-breaking initiatives with different MNCs. This inventiveness has enabled us to create programs that address the real needs of enterprises and are pragmatically related to the innovation and research activities of exclusive standards. We are fully involved in the work of our national standards organization and also the International Standards Organization (ISO), especially in the field of innovation management.

Apart from that, we also do lots of international research projects on sustainability or topics linked to sustainability, such as the production of renewable energies that are linked to online learning. After years of study, we have been able to develop a dynamic counter which is on the homepage of our website that automatically calculates the emissions of CO2. With this unique learning methodology of which we're quite proud, I think we can define ourselves as a sustainable University”, concludes Arturo, Head of Research & Development and International Relations Area at Guglielmo Marconi University.
