I'm glad to present you the University of Pavia

Our institution is one of the oldest universities in Europe and the oldest one in Lombardy. Since its foundation in 1361 it has been a good place to study for both Italian and foreign students.

Each year, thousands of students can appreciate the multidisciplinary vocation of our University and the hospitality of its campus, really unique in Italy for the possibility it offers of living and studying in a lively, intellectually challenging environment.

Our aim is to encourage our students’ creativity, enhancing their capacity to engage with the great challenges of our society.

We set out to obtain this goal by offering a wide academic curriculum, by increasing our international policy and through the outstanding quality of our research.

The Rector
Prof. Angiolino Stella
