Hotel UNIBO

Hotel Cosmopolitan Bologna has an agreement with the University of Bologna. Some services and offers are designed for students and relatives who have a student in UNIBO. The University of Bologna (Italian: Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, UNIBO) is the oldest continually operating university in the world, the word ‘universitas’ being first used by this institution at its foundation. The true date of its founding is uncertain, but believed by most accounts to have been 1088. Since 2000, the University’s motto has been Alma mater studiorum (Latin for “fostering mother of studies”). The university received a charter from Frederick I Barbarossa in 1158, but in the 19th century, a committee of historians led by Giosuè Carducci traced the founding of the University back to 1088, making it the oldest university in the strict sense in the world.[1] The university is historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law. Until modern times, the only degree granted at that university was the doctorate. The University counts about 100,000 students in its 23 faculties. It has branch centers in Reggio Emilia, Imola, Ravenna, Forlì, Cesena and Rimini and a branch center abroad in Buenos Aires. Moreover, it has a school of excellence named Collegio Superiore di Bologna.
