Department of Quality of Life Sciences
This is the first university department in Italy of Quality of Life Sciences, which was started by the University of Bologna, based in Rimini. What distinguishes this new study and research centre is the vast concentration of Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses dedicated to wellness, attended by more than ten thousand students each year. Scientific fields such as motor sciences, food sciences, psychology, pharmacology, medicine, cultural heritage, fashion, design, biotechnology and architecture intersect, converging on quality of life issues to meet the challenges of wellness.
As a whole, the Department’s research fields emphasise a prevention-focused approach to health with the primary goal of “adding life to the years”.
