«In a university context marked by uncertainties and generalized drops in inscriptions, the University of Calabria continues to earn land. The University records a further increase, consolidating a positive trend that has lasted for six years now, coming to triple the applications for early admission, compared to the beginning of the rectoral mandate». You read it in a note from the University.
“In particular, – it is written – the data of absolute importance comes from participation in the early phase, in which it is mandatory to take the Tolc (online test Cisia). Compared to the previous 24/25, the requests received for the academic year 25/26 are 3759, with an increase of 767 units, marking a jump of +26%, which is added to the +28% already recorded last year, in a trend always positive for six years now, which has made that The questions received for 25/26 have exceeded the triple of those of 19/20, the year in which the Rector’s mandate began. A result that – it is written – acquires even more value if we consider the general context, where demographic drop and economic uncertainty prefigure a drastic downsizing of enrollments in the next decades, in particular in the South. Yet, while many universities are preparing to face a difficult future, the Unical goes against the current. The data are intended to increase because the one just ended is the early admission, which will be followed by the enrollments relating to the standard admission, to the international students of Unical Admission and to the courses with programmed access at national level: nursing, construction engineering-architecture, medicine and surgery (digital technologies), primary training sciences, conservation and restoration of cultural heritage and the new course of physiotherapy “.
Among the most relevant innovations of the training offer, the debut of the three -year degree course in Psychological Sciences and Techniques stands out, “Which recorded – reads – an extraordinary liking already in the early admission phase: for the 60 places initially available, 331 questions have arrived, a result that not only confirms the strong interest of young people towards psychological disciplines, but also demonstrates the effectiveness with which the university is able to respond to new training instances. Among the ten most chosen routes, the young course in Sciences and Technologies for motor and sporting activities, in the second year of institution, has also confirmed, which recorded 229 questions out of 95 places available. The questions are growing stable in almost all the study courses, with the exception of a slight decline in the three “second choice” courses provided for by the reform in medicine, which probably will record a more marked increase after the semester filter “.
“Among the most requested courses – writes the University – those in the technological field (IT engineering 333, management engineering 207, mechanics 194, biomedical 139, computer science with 173) are confirmed.. Many requests for admission also for socio -humanistic courses (business economy 340, jurisprudence 187, education sciences 179 and letters 150). Faced with such significant numbers, which testify to growing trust towards the University, the answer was not long in coming. To meet a question that continues to grow and that represents a clear signal of credibility and attractiveness, the rector Nicola Leone, in concert with the department directors, has ordered an extraordinary increase in the available places, pushing himself to the limit of the current structural and didactic sustainability. Overall, 155 places have been added: 50 (which become 110) in psychological sciences and techniques, doubled the seats in the ban, another 40 (now 215) in IT engineering, 30 (now 265) in business economics, 20 (now 115) in sciences and technologies for motor and sports activities and 15 (now 153) in jurisprudence “.
«The significant growth that we continue to record is not accidental – explains the rector Leone -. It is the fruit of a Constant commitment, which has affected a profound renewal of the training offer, the strengthening of services and structures, with particular attention to the student and the overall quality of his university experience. In a context marked by denatality, student migration and growing competition of telematic universities – factors that penalize above all the universities of the South – Unical has shown that he knows how to react with vision and innovation. The cohesion of the academic community, the quality and commitment of teachers and staff, the ability and the courage to innovate have made the University of Calabria an ideal environment for university study, a credible point of reference with a reputation in constant ascent, and, as shown, a destination increasingly large by students “.
