The University of Rome III was founded in 1992, under the initative of the Ministry of Education. It has quickly become one of Italy's most prestigious and innovative universities for law, economics and political science studies. Attention to cultural change, an international outlook, the courage to innovate, and academic rigor were the bases on which the university was built. Despite its young age, Roma Tre plays an important cultural role in Rome, Italy and Europe as an open, international and pluralistic institution. It currently offers 54 undergraduate degree programs, 75 Masters degree programs, 16 doctoral schools, and 5 Ph.D. programs. It is one of the few universities in Italy which admits students on the basis of a selective entry test. Founded in 1992, Roma Tre University has gained a significant reputation in the academic world thanks to its high quality teaching and research programmes. The university has gradually but constantly brought into focus its particular profile; that of a dynamic, efficient and highly selective seat of learning that, step by step, has become an acknowledged point of reference both in the european and the international university system. It currently enrolls more than 40,000 students which are the fruit of a winning strategy founded on offering a wide-range of innovative courses focused on the quality of the teaching and the introduction of the young into the working world. One of the milestones for Roma Tre, since it's foundation, as well as a guideline for its development, was its incorporation in the surrounding area, characterised by the reclamation of old buildings and school premises, transformed into modern facilities for study and research.
The System is organised in seven libraries managing the library holdings in various academic fields of study consisting of over 500.000 paper and electronic documents. Beyond this heritage, the Library System also handles the Library of the Italian-French Studies Centre. Every library is composed of various sections located in the different facilities of the university. The Libraries Coordination Office coordinates the Library System activities. It is in charge of the monitoring and updating of the University's bibliographic catalogue as well as the Library System's web page, of the purchasing, management and utilisation of the University's electronic resources. It also guarentees the resources needed to run the libraries and to maintain the quality of services.
The Rector, the Vice Rector, the University Senate and the Board of Governors are the main governing bodies of the university, which are responsible for setting university policy and development strategy. The statute also provides for a University Executive Committee, the Student Council, the Council of Faculty Deans and a University Ombudsman.
The Rector is the official representative of the University. As well as calling and chairing meetings of the University Senate, the Board of Governors and the University Executive Committee, the Rector supervises the university's teaching, scientific and service structures, and gives appropriate guidance. The Rector also acts as ombudsman for the teaching and research autonomy of academic staff.
The current Rector is Prof. Guido Fabiani.
The Vice Rector cooperates with the Rector in the management of the University. The Vice Rector also stands in for the Rector in the case of the Rector's absence or other prohibitive circumstances.
The current Vice Rector is Prof. Mario Morganti.
The Senate is responsible for programming and coordinating teaching and research at the University.
Members of the Senate include: the Rector, the Vice Rector, the Deans of Faculty, representatives of the various academic disciplines, and student representatives appointed by the Student Council.

The Board consists of the Rector, the Vice Rector, the Administration Director, representatives of the teaching, technical and administrative staff and representatives of the student body.
The primary objective of the 8 faculties of Roma Tre University is to define, organise and connect the academic activities of the degree courses. Corresponding to the defined scientific-disciplinary fields, the faculties are divided into one or more first cycle degree courses which are followed by specialised degree courses.
The Faculty has set up numerous exchange programs with other foreign universities and also agreements with national and international companies and institutions to enable its students to have a first contact with the job market during their studies.
Our graduates can choose different careers: managerial positions in financial, management, consulting and auditing firms or banking group, in non-profit organizations and academic or professional careers in leading universities or research oriented organizations.
The Faculty’s long-standing cooperation with the most authoritative law faculties from around the world has led to the exchange of ideas, teachers and students, increasing the Faculty’s particular sensitivity to the construction and development of the European dimension of its learning and research curricula. The rapid evolution of our complex and articulated information society and the new concepts of learning have for some time been inspiring the great European Universities to review their teaching methods, creating new disciplinary and inter-disciplinary teaching modes with a concrete view to effective international learning.
In this changing economic and social scenario, the Faculty is now called on to implement reforms in its teaching systems, and is ready to provide effective responses to the new, pressing demands of the European higher education system. Through the first and second cycle study programmes available within the Faculty, graduates will possess full knowledge of the legal system, from a historical and philosophical point of view as well as in the fields of private, public, procedural, criminal, economic and comparative law.
The Faculty uses the most advanced computer technologies, with multimedia classrooms for on-line study, and provides students with linguistic services, libraries and tutor-based personal study assistance. Located in the heart of the city, the Faculty is an important cultural centre of Rome, serving the community as a place of knowledge in which tradition and innovation blend to assure the constant osmosis between research, learning and the social fabric.
The departments are the structures in which teaching and research come together in order to promote the scientific activity of the various fields of instruction homogeneous either through their objectives or by research methods. The 32 departments of Roma Tre University are coordinated by a director and they integrate activities belonging to one or more of the Faculties thereby rendering interdisciplinary study in didactic and research matters.
The Administration Director is responsible for all central offices and services of this University and has the function of managing, directing and controlling the Technical-Administrative Personnel. The other directors collaborate with the Administration Director with tasks of functional integration for the structures operating in related areas.
The University of Rome III takes part into a series of international university networks that share the task of promoting cooperative activities in diverse fields and seek to create a European area of communal higher education.
The association groups and networks of which Roma Tre University is a member are:
The University of Rome III includes a wide network of library and document structures and services to support teaching, research, professional and cultural activities of students, professors, technicians, graduates and scholars from every country. The library network promotes the awareness of the best scientific and academic publications from every country and the global diffusion of results obtained by research carried out at the University.
The University Library System (SBA) combines and coordinates libraries, book collections and the central library and documental services of the University of Rome III.
The Faculy of Law is one of the best schools in Italy and Europe. It is constantly ranked among the top-five in the country with a note of AAA (Censis-La Repubblica). This is mostly due to the selective entry test and to the small-size of the classes. The Faculty is particularly famous in the fields of International Law, EU Law, Administrative Law and Civil Law.
The Faculty of Political Science is ranked among the top-ten faculties of political science.
The Faculty of Economics is ranked among the top-ten faculties of economics.
Special importance has been given to the international dimension of the University ever since its foundation. The University has focused on the development of strategic international alliances in the view of complementarity. The University has partnerships with prestigious universities and research centers all over the world and is part of important cooperation networks.
Besides the LLP-Erasmus project, ever since it's foundation, the University has also supported double degree agreements. The University is also part of the Erasmus Mundus programme and the Erasmus Mundus External cooperation window (now called action 2 of Erasmus Mundus II).
