Università degli Studi di Padova

Established in 1222, the University of Padova is one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious seats of learning. Here is where Galileo Galilei taught and Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia became the first woman in the world to receive a university degree. Traditionally a free-thinking and trailblazing centre of education and research, the University Padova keeps faith with his historical motto Universa Universis Patavina Libertas: Liberty of Padova, universally and for all. Its excellence in the area of research is acknowledged by the National Agency for University Evaluation (Anvur 2017), which placed Padova at the first place of the national rankings for major universities. The University of Padova firmly believes in international collaborations as fundamental growth opportunities, as can be testified by the always increasing number of graduate and post-graduate student exchange programs promoted every year. Valuing the importance of quality and innovation, the University of Padova updates constantly its courses in order to meet the ever-changing needs of the labour market. Its potential students can choose among/between 8 schools, 32 departments, 173 degree courses and a wide range of post-graduate training options. Social Policy https://bit.ly/PSunipd
