Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (University of Bari Aldo Moro) is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the urban setting of the small city of Bari (population range of 250,000-499,999 inhabitants), Puglia. This institution has also branch campuses in the following location(s): Taranto, Brindisi. Officially accredited recognized by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, Italia (Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, Italy), Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (UNIBA) is a very large coeducational higher education institution. Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (UNIBA) offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as bachelor degrees, master degrees, doctorate degrees in several areas of study.International applicants are eligible to apply for enrollment.

The formal system for accreditation of State University programs in Italy began in 1933. This law accredits a set of Universities, faculties, and courses. It involves two separate but correlated programs that were instituted at the same time: First, each University went through a four-step process to adopt and approve its own Regolamenti Didattici di Ateneo (RDA). The RDA establishes the rules for the organisation of teaching at the university, including establishing the requirements and objectives of each degree program, the curricula, credits awarded and requirements and objectives of examinations.

The RDA's were developed in consultation with representatives of the individual university, the regional coordinating committee (CRC), employers and the National University Council and are ultimately approved by the Ministry of Education (MIUR). Second, a series of formal, objective standards was adopted as minimum requirements for approval of any programs.

Student Associations

Student Associations have an important role for the aggregation and the involvement of students in Bari University life and in the activities of the individual Departments.At the University of Bari there are several Student Associations, properly recognized by university regulations and whose representatives are elected every three years. 

Their goal is to defend the student right to study and to guarantee the services provided by the government authorities of the University and the Faculties (Administrative Board, Academic Senate and Faculty Council).

Harmonia Association

The Harmonia Association, the University of Bari’s chorus and orchestra, officially formed in 1989, carries out an intensive musical programme within the university and in the local community.The association’s main aim is the encouragement of musical and choral practice among the young and, in particular among university students, through the work performed by instrumental and vocal groups which have promoted an increasing awareness of profoundly art forms on both a human and cultural level. The Association has also been involved in partnership projects with other musical and university groups abroad.

Psychological Counselling Service

University counseling is an articulated network of free services addressed to students enrolled at the University of Bari. The main objective is to contribute in interaction with other academic services to reduce drop out and delay following students during their studies and answering to their multiple demands.
