The University of Teramo (Italian: Università degli Studi di Teramo) is a public research university located in Teramo, Italy. The academic institution was officially established in 1993, following more than 30 years as a satellite campus of the D'Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara.

History

[edit]

The University of Teramo's origins lie in the D'Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara, a private educational institution founded in 1955.[1] Over the next decade, the facility became a multi-campus institution that served the region of Abruzzo, spanning locations in Chieti, Pescara, and Teramo.[1][2] In 1965, the consortium was recognized by Luigi Gui, the then-Minister of Public Education, allowing the member campuses to offer recognized university-level programming.[1]

The Teramo campus, originally the consortium's Faculty of Law, received a Faculty of Political Science in 1969 and further expanded to house a Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 1989.[1][3] The University of Teramo became an independent entity in 1993.[1][4]

Campuses

[edit]

As of 2025, the University offers 23 undergraduate programs and over 20 master's programs, delivered across five faculties.[5] The majority of its programming is offered at its Coste St. Agostino campus, a 500,000 square metre facility that also hosts amenities for students, such as campus media and a movie theatre.[5]

The last three years of its veterinary medicine program are taught at its University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, a 100,000 square metre dedicated campus.[5] Construction of the hospital took six years at a cost of 9.5 million euros, funded at the University's own expense.[6] In 2010, the faculty became a member of the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education,[6] an association of veterinary training facilities that meet the highest European Union standards.[7]

Student life

[edit]

Students at the University of Teramo operate a campus radio station, Radio Frequency ("Radio Frequenza").[8] Every year, Radio Frequency is one of many student radio stations throughout Europe to hold a 24-hour commemoration of the lives of Antonio Megalizzi and Bartosz Orent-Niedzielski,[9][10][11] two radio journalists who died in the 2018 Strasbourg attack.[12]

Financial aid

[edit]

Several scholarships that facilitate enrolment at the University are available to both domestic and international students.[13][14]

Research activities

[edit]

As of March 2025, research activities conducted by University of Teramo faculty and staff have resulted in the publication of more than 5,600 scientific papers, which have been cited over 132,800 times.[15] The University's research output has received international media attention, including for work in the fields of cloning,[16][17] insects as food,[18][19] and the effects of unnecessary involuntary commitment on women during the Mussolini years.[20][21]

The University of Teramo has also collaborated on research with Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology and the Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalization and Healthcare.[22] In 2019, as part of a commitment to foster closer co-operation with institutions in Africa, the University of Teramo signed an agreement with 29 African universities to facilitate the mobility of student researchers.[23][24]
