About university
The University of Padua (UNIPD) was founded in 1222 and is one of Europe’s oldest and most prestigious universities. Loyal to its motto Universa Universis Patavina Libertas, UNIPD has always been a bastion of free thought, study, and research.
Today, Padua is a major multidisciplinary university whose lecturers, students, and staff account for almost one-third of the town’s population.
Its 8 schools (Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Economics and Political Science, Engineering, Law, Human, and Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage, Medicine, Psychology, and Science) and 32 departments ensure that it offers a broad and varied range of subjects that cover all fields of learning.
The University is also the scientific and cultural heart of Italy’s industrious north-east, providing highly specialized training for the area’s 7-million-plus residents and its 650,000-plus businesses, a role made possible by its extensive network of campuses located across the Veneto region.
