Info
The Collegio Superiore is the University of Bologna’s honors program, committed to providing selected students with an interdisciplinary formation alongside their main course of study. Founded with the name Collegio d’Eccellenza in 1998, during Fabio Roversi Monaco’s term as head of the University, the program forms the Istituto di Studi Superiori (ISS) of the University of Bologna together with the Istituto di Studi Avanzati (ISA).The Collegio offers those students who are registered for a degree program at the University and who pass a rigorous entrance exam the means to complete a parallel, advanced curriculum, one that enriches their main course of study with approaches and findings from other disciplines. Membership in the Collegio includes not only exemption from the University’s regular attendance tax, but also an annual stipend, free lodging at the program’s seat and the special guidance of both an academic advisor and other University faculty. Maintenance of this membership requires high marks both in one’s main course of study and in one’s Collegio-specific work.
Luca Ciotti, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Bologna, has been the Collegio’s director since 2012.
