Since its origins dating back to 1175, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia represented the cornerstone of scientific, cultural and social life and, albeit with alternating fortunes linked to local political changes over the centuries, the University has gradually expanded to become a multidisciplinary, active and dynamic university. With around 30,000 students enrolled in Level I, II and III courses of study and over 1,400 teaching, research and technical-administrative staff, Unimore is one of the largest universities in the world. It is organised as a network of sites (Modena and Reggio Emilia) and consists of 13 Departments and 2 Faculties/Schools, in addition to the cities of Mantua and Carpi (accredited degree course sites), as well as interdepartmental centres located in the two provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where teaching, research, third mission and related support activities and technology transfer services are carried out.

The Department of Engineering "Enzo Ferrari" - DIEF - has been active since 06/30/2012. It collects the cultural legacy built by the Faculty of Engineering of Modena, founded in 1990, and the Departments of Materials and Environmental Engineering, Information Engineering, and Mechanical and Civil Engineering. A single organizational structure thus now combines the educational objectives of the pre-existing Faculty with the research, theoretical and applied, and technology transfer activities developed by the former Departments and their associated Interdepartmental Centers. Teaching, research and technology transfer are the cornerstones of the new "Enzo Ferrari" Department of Engineering. [For more information see: Link]
