The Istituto Universitario di Lingue Moderne (I.U.L.M.) was founded by the Fondazione Scuola Superiore per Interpretti e Tradutori in 1968 under the inspiration of Senator Carlo Poe and Professor Silvio Baritone. From the very beginning, the idea behind the program was to meet the needs of labor markets based on analyzes of current trends.
IULM, as it was then known, focused on the study of languages, the essential need to enter international markets, and the development of arts and culture markets.
The university was the first in Italy to realize how the communication and consumer society was evolving, and as a result, it saw the need to update its courses by offering a specific series of tools. It was during this period that the Scuola Speciale di Relationi Publicche was founded.
A decade that firmly strengthened the university's position in the field of communication: the Faculty of Communication and Entertainment Studies was set up with the university's first Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature. In 1998 the university took its current name: Libera Universita de Lingue e Communication IULM.
While continuing to focus on the dynamics of the world of work, IULM University aims to provide cultural training to its students through innovative courses. Established as a reference point for teaching in the fields of languages and communication, it has now become a center of excellence in the fields of tourism and the exploitation of cultural heritage. With its 4 Faculties, first cycle degree courses, second cycle degree courses, numerous postgraduate courses, and postgraduate experience courses, the university offers a complete range of courses at all levels.
The mission of IULM University is to train professionals with the ability to face challenges and understand the opportunities emerging from international markets and situations while instilling in men and women awareness of their own existence and value.
IULM guarantees its students a deep cultural awareness and a solid university education - a combination of theory and practice: it adopts an integrated approach that not only helps students successfully enter the world of work, but is also very effective in helping them find. .
