The University of Milan - Bicocca is a university located in Milan, Italy.
The University of Milan-Bicocca was established in 1998. It is located in an area on the northern outskirts of Milan, which was occupied by the Pirelli industrial complex until the late 1980s. The industrial area has been redesigned by architect Vittorio Gregotti into an urban complex, including the University of Milan-Bicocca’s research laboratories and student residence halls
History
The University of Milano-Bicocca was established on June 10, 1998, to serve students from Northern Italy and relieve some of the pressure on the over-crowded University of Milan. Groups of professors and researchers chose to come and participate in the enterprise. They were driven by their enthusiasm for the new, and by the chance to broaden academic horizons without having their work undermined by traditional methods of education. From the start, this very fertile climate became a unique training ground, which offered something new even in the most traditional disciplines.
The University stands in an area on the northern edge of Milan, which was occupied by the Pirelli industrial complex until the late 1980s. This area is now the location of the biggest urban renewal project carried out in Milan since the end of the Second World War. The world-renowned architect, Vittorio Gregotti has transformed the ex-industrial area and its warehouses into a new district, which includes our Athenaeum, research laboratories and student residence halls; Hangar Bicocca, the contemporary art museum; the Italian National Research Council (CNR), multinational company offices and the new headquarters of the Pirelli Group.
The name Bicocca derives from the historic Villa Bicocca degli Arcimboldi (located at no. 202, Viale Sarca), a mid-15th century rural residence of the Arcimboldi family, which now belongs to a financial holding company. In the heart of the Bicocca neighborhood, University buildings are characterized by red walls and white window shutters: the main complex facing the squares Piazza dell’Ateneo Nuovo and Piazza della Scienza was developed from two pre-existing Pirelli warehouses.
In this cityscape the University of Milano—Bicocca arose and hundreds of lecturers have contributed their talents and brought international networks and research groups. This synergy makes the University a laboratory where tradition and modernity are combined to ensure an innovative future.

Doctoral Programs
The doctorate provides high level competence suitable for carrying out research activities or for work in private or public corporations that require highly qualified scientific professionals. Obtaining a research doctorate is the natural path for those who want to pursue a university career (researcher, professor) but it also opens doors to high level employment in research institutes and corporations.
Doctorate degree courses can be carried out in association with other Universities in Italy or abroad. One University is chosen as the administrative seat. The doctorate course requires developing an autonomous research project under the guidance of a supervisor.
Research project results should then be published in an international scientific journal or presented in a national or international congress. A period of study and research abroad is required.
