UNITELMA and Sapienza: the online spin-off of Europe's largest university for the public sector
The UNITELMA Sapienza was born in the early 2000s as an online spin-off of Sapienza Università di Roma, aiming to bring Roman university training to the distance format. It was founded in collaboration with the Roman institution, which provided UNITELMA with academic support and the institutional link reflected in the name.
Over its twenty years of activity, UNITELMA specialised in serving a specific segment: Roman and Lazio public sector professionals needing a degree or professional updating. Specialisation in law and public administration reflects this vocation.
The Sapienza link gave UNITELMA academic continuity and credibility above the Italian online university average, attracting students seeking Sapienza's brand quality in the flexibility of online training. UNITELMA is today one of Rome's best-known online universities.
