Italian term or phrase: Indirizzante
Come posso tradurre in un inglese corretto e formale questa frase?

Questa caratteristica si distacca dalla visione più restrittiva ed indirizzante delle università italiane che sono spesso ancora lontane da una istruzione studentcentred.

Explanation:
Surely not blinkered - its not a negative word. It just refers to a highly structured, relatively inflexible degree system.

specialist


Explanation:
"A [...] and specialist vision" as in for example "Indirizzo Economia Internazionale" = "specialisation in international economics". If the broader context suggests a negative interpretation is required (restrittiva lo è) the "narrow specialist" or "over specialist" would do the trick.
