IULM University of Milan
Encyclopedia
The IULM University - Milan is a university located in Milan
, Italy
. It was founded in 1968 and is organized in 4 Faculties.
This is the essence of the educational mission outlined by Unesco. At IULM, University of Languages and Communication, knowing and knowing how are the tools, while the real goal is to educate men and women to know themselves and their own worth.
The real and ideal goal is to know how to be.
Since 1968, when the University Institute for Modern Languages (IULM) was founded by Senior Professor Carlo Bo
and Professor Silvio Baridon, the inspiring idea of the project has been to meet the labour market’s future needs by analysing the present and studying ongoing trends.
Initially, this meant focusing on the study of languages – the sine qua non for becoming a part of an increasingly European framework. Things have changed over the years and it has become crucial to learn how to use specific communication tools. To meet this need, the university’s training opportunities and its facilities have been renewed and upgraded. It was a courageous development, in line with the principles that led IULM to change its identity and update all its syllabuses, closing the courses that had made the institute’s history, introducing new syllabuses and modifying the university’s charter and name.
Introduced in 1998, the denomination IULM University of Languages and Communication bears out the institution’s two-fold vocation of teaching languages as well as communication. This is the core principle of the institute’s range of training opportunities.
Producing language and communication experts: this is the mission of IULM University. And to accomplish its mission the University assures its students not merely the technical skills required but also a cultural background. With its roots still firmly in culture and communication, IULM University has moved forward and committed its energies to the challenges of new educational horizons. IULM University offers five three-year degree courses: Public Relations and Business Communication; Communication, Media and Advertising; Interpreting and Communication; Tourism, Culture and Territory; Communication in Culture and Arts Markets. In addition to these three-year undergraduate degree courses, IULM University offers one- and two-year post-graduate degree courses, and also research doctorate schools. But where IULM University know-how really makes a difference is in its teaching methods. Teaching staff also includes managers and professionals from various fields, thus fostering close contact with the world of media and communication, professional services, business, public administration and cultural organisations. Teaching is done through lectures, classroom activities and case studies, continuous assessment, internships in Italy and abroad and through international student exchanges so as to reinforce both individual and team-work skills. Students have access to an innovative learning environment, equipped with the latest technologies and to a large library featuring the most updated systems
The main building houses a reception desk, students’ admin. offices, the Dean’s office, the library and classrooms. New buildings have recently been added: a canteen catering for about 400 people, a building destined to become the research institute, an auditorium and a hall of residence. Challenging new expansion projects have been undertaken to house future activities.
