    Link Campus Marche: three campuses to bring digital and international professions across the region

    The Link Campus University Marche campus is distributed across three venues — Ascoli Piceno, Fano and Macerata — covering a broad regional area with an academic offering focused on business, law, international relations, communication, digital innovation and political science. With approximately 2,500 students and 12 degree programmes, the Marche campus is one of the most representative examples of the distributed territorial university model that Link Campus has adopted across Italy.

    The three Marche venues serve different catchment areas: Ascoli Piceno in the south of the region, Fano on the Adriatic coast and Macerata in the hilly hinterland. This distribution allows students from a broad geographical area to access university pathways without necessarily having to move to large cities. 5% of students are international. The employment rate is 68%.

    The Marche are one of Italy's most beautiful and least mass-tourism-known regions: medieval villages, the Apennines, the Adriatic coast and an excellence manufacturing fabric — the Fermo shoe industry, Castelfidardo's accordions, Fabriano's paper. Studying in the Marche at a university oriented towards future professions can be a smart choice for those wishing to remain in the territory.

    Link Campus in the Marche: a distributed university for a territory between the Apennines and the Adriatic

    The Link Campus University Marche campuses were born as part of the Roman university's territorial expansion strategy, launched during the 2010s. The choice of the Marche as a territory for expansion responded to demand for innovative university pathways in a region with a university structure traditionally concentrated in the main cities.

    The Ascoli Piceno, Fano and Macerata campuses were established in a Marche economic and social fabric characterised by small and medium manufacturing enterprises, growing cultural tourism and a local public administration with increasing demand for qualified professionals in digital and international fields.

    Over the years the Marche campuses have built collaborations with local institutions and territorial business associations, orienting programmes to the specific needs of the Marche economy. They are today a hub of innovative university training in a territory requiring new competences to face the challenges of digital transition.
