= City of Sport =
The innovative City of Sport project, designed by the internationally renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, was an integral part of the city of Rome's bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics and would have hosted the volleyball, gymnastics, trampoline, and basketball finals. On February 14, 2012, the Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti called an end to the bid, citing uncertain costs and unknown financial benefit. The announcement came a day before the deadline for applicant cities to submit the application files. The project would have transformed the area of south-east of Rome. The two main buildings of the project the Sport Forum and Swimming Forum are symmetrical, each of them being about {{convert|21600|m2|acre|0|abbr=off|adj=on}} in area and around 75 m in height.[http://www.dmsge.it/pdf/torvergata.pdf]{{dead link|date=August 2018}} The complex, whose construction had begun in April 2007, was to be completed in 2009 in time for the 2009 World Aquatics Championships but is still under construction. The new university tower, located on the opposite side of the road with respect to the City of Sport project, will rise to about 90 meters, whose penultimate floor would host the new administrative office of Tor Vergata, while the top floor would host a wide lobby that would offer panoramic views. The lower floors would welcome other offices. The layer below the tower would accommodate underground parking.

Academic years (usually referred to as a.y. or a.a.) are typically divided into two semesters, the first starting in mid September and ending in mid January and the second starting in March and ending in mid June, with exam sessions being held between mid January and the end of February for first semester courses and between mid June and the end of July for second semester classes. Nonetheless, sometimes additional exam sessions may be held in September depending on the course and faculty.{{Cite web|title=Guida dello Studente 2020-2021 {{!}} Ingegneria|url=http://ing.uniroma2.it/area-studenti/guida-dello-studente/|access-date=2020-12-11|language=it-IT}} Students are asked to achieve a minimum of 60 ECTS (i.e. credits) to be considered on schedule with the course programme, which means and implies that a three-year Bachelor's degree course typically consists of 180 ECTS for the corresponding degree to be attained, while 120 ECTS are necessary for a Master's degree. Nevertheless, additional ECTS may be achieved as well in case students wished to attend additional classes or courses. A single course usually provides either 6, 9 or 12 ECTS, depending on its duration. More specifically, 6, 9 and 12 ECTS classes consist respectively of 60, 90 and 120 hours of lecture attendance.

In March 2019, the University of Rome Tor Vergata joined other seven European universities to form the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance. In June 2019, the European Commission announced that YUFE was among the 17 projects that would receive funding for a three-year pilot under the European Universities Initiative, funded through the Erasmus+ programme. The main aim of this programme is to create 'European Universities' based on cross-border alliances of higher education institutions in order to share a long-term strategy and promote European values and identity, by creating a European university campus for the purpose of promoting students' physical and virtual mobility.{{Cite web|last=Fedde|title=Who we are {{!}} YUFE {{!}} Young Universities for the Future of Europe|url=https://yufe.eu/who-we-are/|access-date=2020-11-28|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE)|url=http://web.uniroma2.it/module/name/Content/navpath/YUF/newlang/italiano/action/showpage/content_id/89699/section_id/|access-date=2020-11-28|website=web.uniroma2.it}} Hand in hand with this aim goes the YUFE Diploma Supplement Track, rolled out in November 2020, a diploma supplement that acknowledges all the activities, projects and accomplishments, such as academic courses, professional training, etc, that students are given the chance to take part in across the various YUFE universities.{{Cite web|last=Bos|first=Lieke|date=2020-11-24|title=Launch of the YUFE Diploma Supplement Track {{!}} YUFE|url=https://yufe.eu/yufe/launch-of-the-yufe-diploma-supplement-track/|access-date=2020-11-28|language=en}} Tor Vergata University of Rome is, at the moment, the only university in Italy that is part of the alliance.{{Cite web|title=Partecipa alla YUFE Academy 2020, entra nel campus universitario europeo|url=http://web.uniroma2.it/module/name/Content/newlang/italiano/navpath/HOM/action/showpage/content_id/89701|access-date=2020-11-28|website=web.uniroma2.it}}
