The University of Rome Unitelma Sapienza, formerly known as Unitelma Sapienza University (Italian: Università degli Studi di Roma "Unitelma Sapienza"), often simply abbreviated as "Unitelma - Sapienza," is a private university founded in 2004 in Rome, Italy. Unitelma - Sapienza is the only on-line Italian university that is maintained by a consortium composed of public universities and enterprises.

Since 2010 it is linked to and owned by one of the top Italian public universities, Sapienza University of Rome, which uses Unitelma Sapienza to promote the right to education and to support non-traditional students. La Sapienza is among the most prestigious universities in Italy, and the only Italian university among the first 100 universities in the world. Sapienza University of Rome, one of the largest universities in Europe by enrollment, has over 130,000 students and a staff of 4,000 teachers and researchers. Sapienza and Unitelma Sapienza, which are located in Rome, offer multiple joint degrees with faculty often teaching at both universities.

The university provides e-learning courses to students around the world and at remote centers throughout Italy, offering several courses taught in English, Italian, or Spanish to students. The university generally requires exams be completed at its Rome campus, while apprenticeships can be completed at international research sites.

Mission and History

Unitelma Sapienza, through the use of advanced information technology and methodologies in distance learning, promotes access to higher education to students who are unable to attend regular educational activities. The university pays particular attention to the development of research, in particular within scientific and economic sectors, as well as in management of information technology, with particular attention to theories, models, processes, technologies and applications for the development of a virtual campus through the internet.
