The
Forlì Branch of the University of Bologna is a dislocated seat of the
University of Bologna in the town of
Forlì.
The Legislative decree n° 662/1996 detected a key problem of the so called "mega-universities" in the difficulties to access and successfully attend university curricula met by students. The need to split universities with more than 40.000 enrolled students was thus seen as urging to guarantee the right to education of potential students. While some large universities gave life to minor independent campuses (such as the
University of Eastern Piedmont or the
University of Rome Three) the
University of Bologna opted for a Multicampus structure by activating decentralized campuses in the
Romagna area.
The Forlì Branch of the University of Bologna was activated 1 October
2001. Before that date Forlì was the seat of the second Faculty of
Political Science of the University of Bologna, entitled to the memory of
Roberto Ruffilli, and of the School of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators (SSLMIT). After 2001 academic offerings were widened but kept their highly internationalized and professionalized character: the Faculties of
Engineering and
Economics were added to the existing faculties.
At the Forlì Branch there is the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies in Translation, Languages, and Cultures (SITLeC), the only department of the Branch, and the Linguistic Centre of Romagna Teaching Campuses (CLIRO).
