What are the best Italian universities? Find out where your university ranks

When we talk about University, we have to admit that Italy has nothing to envy to any other European country. Of course, they may not be the best on a global level but we can still consider ourselves more than satisfied with our university system. But there is a question to which all students, especially those who will have to take the Maturity this year, would like an answer: What are the best Italian universities?

Let's try to clarify things a bit and draw up a ranking of the best universities in Italy.

Best Italian Universities: How is the ranking drawn up?

To draw up the ranking of the best Italian universities, we must first understand what the criteria on which the evaluation is based. Let's take the ranking of the Censis, the famous research institute that evaluates Italian universities and draws up a ranking every year. The criteria used in this case are:

  • available facilities;
  • services provided;
  • level of internationalization;
  • communication skills 2.0;
  • employability.

However, if we changed these criteria and took into account only the earnings perspective as the Job Pricing Observatory did, we would see totally different positionings. But let's now look at the official Censis ranking!

Top Italian Universities: the Censis ranking

To offer the best possible result, Censis has divided the rankings into “State Universities” and “Non-State Universities” in turn divided by extension of the University: small (less than 10,000 subscribers), medium (from 10,000 to 20,000 members), big (from 20,000 to 40,000 members) e mega (with over 40,000 subscribers).
