San Marino is small, but its higher education story is worth knowing. The Universit脿 degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino is the country’s public university, and it follows the European three-cycle system: the Laurea, the Laurea Magistrale, and the Dottorato di Ricerca, aligned with the Bologna model used across Europe.
San Marino joined the European Higher Education Area at the Rome ministerial conference in 2020. Ministers admitted the country with the same rights and duties as other members and agreed on a roadmap to guide its reforms, covering areas such as qualifications frameworks, quality assurance, and recognition of degrees. A Bologna Follow-up Group working group has tracked the country’s progress since.
For Sammarinese students, EHEA membership matters because it supports the recognition of their degrees across member countries. That makes study and work mobility within Europe simpler than it was before.
