Enrolment is now open for degree programmes at the University of Trieste for the 2025/2026 academic year. Prospective students can register online at: https://portale.units.it/it/studiare/immatricolarsi.

With over 80 active degree programmes, including bachelor’s, master’s and single-cycle degrees, UniTS stands out on the national stage for the breadth and diversity of its academic offering. Covering all major fields of knowledge such as science, technology, healthcare, economics, law, humanities, social sciences and languages, the University continues to see steady growth in student enrolments, in contrast to national trends, thanks to the high quality of its teaching and services.

NEW DEGREE PROGRAMMES

The upcoming academic year will see the launch of four new degree programmes, designed to meet the evolving demands of the job market and to train highly qualified professionals in key sectors such as environmental sustainability, healthcare, applied psychology and European political science.

In addition, the existing Bachelor's Degree in Dental Hygiene, currently available in Trieste, will also be offered at the Pordenone campus. This decision responds to strong and consistent demand in recent years, with applications regularly more than double the number of available places.

New programmes launching in 2025/26:

Earth Sciences for Sustainable Development

This Bachelor’s Degree provides a solid foundation in geosciences with an innovative focus on georesources and geological risk in the context of global sustainability. The

programme includes extensive lab work and field activities, with a limited intake of 50 students to ensure a high-quality learning experience. Unique in Italy for both its language of instruction and thematic content, the course qualifies graduates to sit the State Examination for Junior Geologist and to continue on to master’s or doctoral studies.

Location: Trieste

This Master's Degree trains professionals to work in non-clinical psychology settings, integrating social and cognitive expertise with a strong applied orientation. Students can tailor their learning by choosing from four application areas: community and wellbeing, work and organisations, ergonomics and technology, and people–environment–animals–society. The degree qualifies graduates to practise as psychologists and prepares them for roles across the public, private and third sectors. It stands out for its integrated approach and its focus on topical issues such as sustainability, inclusion and psychosocial wellbeing.

Political Science – Integration and Governance (PoSIG)

PoSIG is an international Master’s Degree taught entirely in English for graduates in political and international studies. Developed by a consortium of thirteen European and Balkan universities, it requires students to attend at least two partner institutions and awards a joint degree. The curriculum covers areas such as comparative politics, European integration, international relations and political theory. The University of Trieste hosts the second semester of the first year, with courses focused on conflict mediation, democracy and European identity. The programme includes policy-making activities and offers opportunities for internships and international mobility.

EMPLOYABILITY AND CAREER OUTCOMES: STRONG RESULTS FOR UNITS GRADUATES

The effectiveness of UniTS’s academic offering is reflected in graduate employment figures, as shown in the latest AlmaLaurea survey.

One year after graduation, nearly 85% of bachelor’s graduates who do not continue their studies are employed — a rate above the national average of 78.6%. The University also performs well in terms of salary, with a net monthly average of €1,522, higher than both the Italian (€1,492) and Friuli Venezia Giulia (€1,497) averages.

Results are even more striking for master’s graduates: the employment rate one year after graduation reaches 87%, versus 78.6% nationally. The average net monthly salary is €1,607, compared to €1,488 nationally. After five years, the employment rate rises to 93%, exceeding both the regional (92.7%) and national (89.7%) averages. Graduates earn an average of €1,988 per month, with figures reaching €2,014 for two-year master's graduates and €1,949 for those in single-cycle programmes.

STUDENT SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL AID

For the 2025/2026 academic year, UniTS reaffirms its strong commitment to supporting the right to education. It remains one of just nine Italian universities to raise the no-tax area to an ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) threshold of €30,000, well

above the national benchmark of €22,000. This ensures full tuition fee exemption for a broader range of students.

Full exemption also continues for recipients of scholarships awarded by ARDiS, the Regional Agency for the Right to Higher Education, which are granted to 100% of eligible applicants.

Merit-based financial aid is also confirmed, accounting for around half of all exemptions and reductions, reflecting both the high calibre of the UniTS student body and the University’s commitment to rewarding academic achievement.

GUIDANCE AND STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

UniTS provides comprehensive support to help future students make informed decisions about their academic path. The Orientation Office offers personalised advice, information sessions and dedicated initiatives — both in person and online — to assist students at every stage of the decision-making process.
