At our faculty teaching, research, and real-world applications go hand in hand. We combine competences in the fields of automation, artificial intelligence, computer science, electronics, energy, mechanics, manufacturing, and sustainability.
Academics from many different countries create the ideal international environment for research. Leading scientists in industrial and information engineering as well as computer science work on projects that are internationally recognised and financed by private companies and public institutions.
Teaching is supported by an excellent infrastructure with state-of-the-art laboratories and evolves from fresh research results, so that students of all levels are challenged by contributing to innovative engineering projects with a real-world impact for business, society, and the academic community. The opportunity to take part in exchange and international cooperation programmes with universities all over the world offers students, researchers, and lecturers the ideal context to pursue their professional and education goals in academia.
The faculty can rely on an optimal infrastructure at its campus at NOI Techpark, the science and technology park of South Tyrol that hosts 12 research institutes, 68 scientific laboratories, 83 companies and 39 start-ups.
In the 2025 Times Higher Education Engineering subject ranking the faculty ranked among the top 400 faculties worldwide and in the Computer Science subject ranking among the top 400.

Amid opportunities and challenges, the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano is preparing future software engineers for an AI-empowered world.
Our research initiatives span a wide range of fields, including mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, computer science, automation, energy engineering, and software engineering. Our faculty members are experts in their respective fields and are committed to producing cutting-edge research that makes a real-world impact.
Our international collaborations allow us to bring together the best minds from around the world to work on complex problems, resulting in innovative solutions that would not be possible otherwise. By leveraging the diverse perspectives and expertise of our international partners, we can push the boundaries of what is possible and develop innovative technologies that will shape the future.
At our faculty, we believe that education and research go together. Our students can work closely with our faculty members on research projects, gaining valuable experience and learning first-hand about the latest advances in their fields. This unique combination of education and research provides our graduates with the skills and knowledge they need to make a positive impact on the world.

Our faculty relies on a dense network of collaborations at local, national, and international levels. Professors, researchers, and students can develop their research, teaching and learning activities with dozens of academic partners, such as the University of California, the Technical University of Munich, and the University of Trento.
Many different large international companies (e.g., BMW or IBM), start-ups and local companies (e.g., Leitner Ropeways or VMware), as well as Public Administrations and Services –have collaborated with the faculty in the last years.
