Wellness University

Building a District for Wellness expertise and Quality of Life means first and foremost to spread the value and culture of Wellness within the community and across the region.

For this reason, since its beginning, the Wellness Valley project has in the University of Bologna, the oldest and most prestigious academic Institution in the world, a key stakeholder.

Over the years, the University of Bologna has increasingly concentrated in the Wellness Valley Multicampus (Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini) programmes and courses that study the quality of life of people at 360 degrees. Today the Wellness Valley offers 53 Undergraduate courses, Graduate and Master Degree Courses focused on Wellness which involve 10.300 students every year.

Sport Sciences, Food Science, Behavioural Psychology, Cultural Heritage, Design, Biomedical Engineering, Architecture, Urban Planning are some of the Courses that can be found in the Wellness Valley Multicampus, the University in Italy with the highest concentration of studies related to Wellness Lifestyle.

In 2017, the first Graduate Degree Course on “Wellness Culture: Health, Sport and Tourism” was inaugurated in the Department for the Quality of Life Studies. The aim of this new course, which is held entirely in English, is to train professionals capable of creating initiatives and projects that promote Wellness and the quality of life for the community they work in, be it a private company or a public authority.
