Founding of Università degli Studi Niccolò Cusano

Niccolo Cusano University, known in Italian as the Universita degli Studi Niccolo Cusano or Unicusano, is a private university in Rome, Italy, founded in 2006. It is named after Nicholas of Cusa, a 15th-century German cardinal, philosopher and scientist known in Italian as Niccolo Cusano. It was established as a telematic university, meaning that much of its teaching is delivered online, although it also has facilities in Rome. It offers degree programmes in subjects such as law, economics, engineering and political science. The university was set up by the entrepreneur Stefano Bandecchi, and it is one of the newer private institutions in the Italian higher education system.
