Padua University
The University of Padua is a premier Italian university located in the city of Padua, Italy. The University of Padua was founded in 1222 as a school of law and was one of the most prominent universities in early modern Europe. It is among the earliest universities of the world and the second oldest in Italy. As of 2010 the university had approximately 65,000 students
History
The university is conventionally said to have been founded in 1222 (which corresponds to the first time when the University is cited in a historical document as pre-existing, therefore it is quite certainly older) when a large group of students and professors left the University of Bologna in search of more academic freedom ('Libertas scholastica'). The first subjects to be taught were law and theology. The curriculum expanded rapidly, and by 1399 the institution had divided in two: a Universitas Iuristarum for civil law and Canon law, and a Universitas Artistarum which taught astronomy, dialectic, philosophy, grammar, medicine, and rhetoric. There was also a Universitas Theologorum, established in 1373 by Urban V.
The student body was divided into groups known as "nations" which reflected their places of origin. The nations themselves fell into two groups:
- the cismontanes for the Italian students
- the ultramontanes for those who came from beyond the Alps
From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, the university was renowned for its research, particularly in the areas of medicine, astronomy, philosophy and law. This was thanks in part to the protection of the Republic of Venice, which enabled the university to maintain some freedom and independence from the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. During this time, the university adopted the Latin motto: Universa universis patavina libertas (Paduan Freedom is Universal for Everyone). Nevertheless, the university had a turbulent history, and there was no teaching in 1237-61, 1509–17, 1848-50.
The Botanical Garden of Padova, established by the university in 1545, was one of the oldest gardens of its kind in the world (after the Hanging Gardens of Babylon). Its title for oldest academic garden is in controversy because the Medici created one in Pisa in 1544. In addition to the garden, best visited in the spring and summer, the university also manages nine museums, including a History of physics museum.
Since 1595, Padua's famous anatomical theatre drew artists and scientists studying the human body during public dissections. It is the oldest surviving permanent anatomical theatre in Europe. Anatomist Andreas Vesalius held the chair of Surgery and Anatomy (explicator chirurgiae) and in 1543 published his anatomical discoveries in De Humani Corporis Fabrica. The book triggered great public interest in dissections and caused many other European cities to establish anatomical theatres.
On 25 June 1678, Elena Lucrezia Cornaro Piscopia a Venetian noblewoman and mathematician became the first woman to be awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
The university became one the universities of the Kingdom of Italy in 1873, and ever since has been one of the most prestigious in the country for its contributions to scientific and scholarly research: in the field of mathematics alone, its professors have included such figures as Gregorio Ricci Curbastro, Giuseppe Veronese, Francesco Severi and Tullio Levi Civita.
The last years of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century saw a reversal of the centralisation process that had taken place in the sixteenth: scientific institutes were set up in what became veritable campuses; a new building to house the Arts and Philosophical faculty was built in another part of the city centre (Palazzo del Liviano, designed by Giò Ponti); the Astro-Physics Observatory was built on the Asiago uplands; and the old Palazzo del Bo was fully restored (1938–45). Obviously, the vicissitudes of the Fascist period—political interference, the Race Laws, etc.—had a detrimental effect upon the development of the university, as did the devastation caused by the Second World War and—just a few decades later—the effect of the student protests of 1968-69 (which the University was left to face without adequate help and support from central government). However, the Gymnasium Omnium Disciplinarum continued its work uninterrupted, and overall the second half of the twentieth century saw a sharp upturn in development—primarily due an interchange of ideas with international institutions of the highest standing (particularly in the fields of science and technology).
In recent years, the University has been able to meet the problems posed by overcrowded facilities by re-deploying over the Veneto as a whole. In 1990, the Institute of Management Engineering was set up in Vicenza; then the summer courses at Brixen (Bressanone) began once more; and in 1995 the Agripolis centre at Legnaro — for Agricultural Science and Veterinary Medicine — opened. Other sites of re-deployment are at Rovigo, Treviso, Feltre, Castelfranco Veneto, Conegliano, Chioggia and Asiago.
Recent changes in state legislation have also opened the way to greater autonomy for Italian universities, and in 1995 Padua adopted a new Statute that gave it greater independence.
As the publications of innumerable conferences and congresses show, the modern-day University of Padua plays an important role in scholarly and scientific research at both a European and world level. True to its origins, this is the direction in which the university intends to move in the future, establishing closer links of cooperation and exchange with all the world's major research universities.

Since its foundation in 1222, the University of Padua has been attracting students from all over the world; its professors have always been encouraged to experience teaching methods abroad. Recently the University reorganized the degree courses in order to meet the requirements that are set out by the new University reform: that was done respecting the long-standing tradition of academic excellence.
The thirteen Faculties of the University reformulated their teaching strategies according to the new reform requirements, offering over ninety 1st cycle degree courses, over eighty 2nd cycle degree courses, many specialization degree courses, doctoral courses and schools.
Such a wide variety of educational opportunities is founded on the knowledge and experience of professors whose teaching activity is mostly based on scientific research. Research is carried out in every field of study; every day much of that work is published in the most important scientific journals and publications.
The educational offer of the University of Padua includes also the Galileian School of Higher Education, which provides an education of excellence to talented students.
- Course organization
| The italian university reform, started in 2001, has changed the traditional framework of Italian university qualification and now prospective undergraduates have a wider range of degree courses to choose from. The reform enables students to customize their own educational path according to their cultural and professional expectations. This course organization, according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), introduces the “credit” as the unit of measurement which defines the student workload including the time spent in attending lectures, seminars, independent study, examinations, etc... One credit corresponds to about 25 hours spent studying. Higher education in Italy |
FIRST CYCLE
|
| 1st cycle degree (Bachelor's level degree) Laurea |
| This degree gives students a basic theoretical preparation and an adequate command of general scientific methods and contents, in addition to the acquisition of specific professional know-how. It requires 180 credits, which can generally be accumulated within three years. The Laurea (1st cycle degree) grants access to competitions for the civil service, to state-regulated and non-state regulated professions, and to 2nd cycle degree courses. Graduates are awarded the qualification of dottore. The corresponding qualification is Bachelor’s level degree, not only in the English speaking countries, but by now in the whole area of the Bologna Process. |
SECOND CYCLE
|
| 2nd cycle degree (Master's level degree) Laurea specialistica/magistrale |
| This qualification is open to graduates with a 1st cycle or foreign equivalent degree and requires additional 120 credits, which can be accumulated over an average of two years. Previous specific curricula in the first cycle are required for admission. It is aimed at providing students with an advanced level of education for the exercise of a highly qualified activity in specific areas. Graduates are awarded the qualification of dottore magistrale. The Laurea specialistica grants access to competitions for civil service, to state-regulated and non state-regulated professions, research doctorate programmes and all the other degree courses of the 3rd cycle. Starting from the 2008-09 academic year, this qualification will be named Laurea magistrale, while before the name was Laurea specialistica. The corresponding qualification is Master’s level degree, not only in the English speaking countries but by now in the whole area of the Bologna Process. |
| Single cycle degree (Master's level degree) Laurea specialistica/magistrale a ciclo unico |
| This degree course runs as a single cycle; the degree is awarded at the end of period that lasts five or six years and requires 300-360 credits. These courses are one-tier degree courses, without intermediate exit, and are in alternative to the two-tier degree courses scheme. They are usually adopted in order to prepare for the EU regulated professions (i.e. Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Architecture, Pharmacology and also for studies in Law). The Laurea specialistica/magistrale a ciclo unico grants access to competitions for civil service, to state-regulated and non state-regulated professions, research doctorate programmes and all the other degree courses of the 3rd cycle. Graduates are awarded the qualification of dottore magistrale. |
THIRD CYCLE
|
| Doctoral degree Dottorato di ricerca |
| This Doctorate confers the skills required to undertake research in universities as well as within the private and public sectors. Applicants must be in possession of a 2nd cycle Degree (Laurea specialistica/magistrale or Laurea specialistica/magistrale a ciclo unico). They are also required to pass an entrance examination. The whole degree course generally lasts three years. This degree-course corresponds to the PhD degree in the English speaking countries. |
| Specialization schools Scuole di specializzazione |
| These schools enable to practice the chosen profession and to use the title of Specialista (Specialist). Admission usually requires specific Laurea specialistica/magistrale or Laurea specialistica/magistrale a ciclo unico (or a comparable foreign degree) and the passing of a competitive examination. Course length varies in relation to subject fields. Specialization school programmes may be set up exclusively on the basis of specific national laws or EU Directives. They are devised to provide students with knowledge and abilities as required in the practice of highly qualified professions (e.g. cardiologist, oncologist). |
OUT-OF-MAINSTREAM EDUCATION
|
| 1st level Short specialization degree Italian Master universitario di 1° livello |
| These courses lead to an out-of-mainstream university qualification; they can be accessed after a 1st cycle degree course or a comparable foreign degree. These courses last at least one year and involve the acquisition of at least 60 credits. The corresponding qualification does not give access to the 3rd cycle. This degree-course is then clearly different from the usual Master’s Degree, which corresponds to the Italian Laurea specialistica/magistrale, not only in the English speaking countries but by now in the whole area of the Bologna Process. |
| 2nd level Short specialization degree Italian Master universitario di 2° livello |
| These courses lead to an out-of-mainstream university qualification and can be accessed after a 2nd cycle degree course or single cycle degree course or a comparable foreign degree. They consist in quite advanced scientific courses or studies in life-long-learning programmes. These courses last at least one year and involve the acquisition of at least 60 credits. This degree-course is then clearly different from the usual Master’s Degree, which corresponds to the Italian Laurea specialistica/magistrale, not only in the English speaking countries but by now in the whole area of the Bologna Process. |
| Corsi di perfezionamento |
| These are specific in-depth academic programs, designed for those who already work and for students who wants to personalize their training curriculum; they aare ruled by on purpose regulations, as far as admission requirements, duration and educational activities are concerned. On course completion, a certificate is issued. |
| Corsi di aggiornamento professionale |
| These courses are addressed in particular to workers who need specific education in precise professional and enterprise areas. On course completion, a certificate is issued. |
| Corsi di alta formazione |
| These vocational training courses are focused on high professionalization, in response to specific needs. They offer a flexible teaching programme, in order to allow working people to follow the courses. Participation of unemployed people with some significant work experience is also foreseen. |

National Research
|
The University of Padua, through the office and the Committee for research, fosters and sustains an environment that facilitates the highest quality scholarship and research, providing leadership in setting research goals for the University, developing and implementing strategies for achieving research goals, capitalizing on the interdisciplinary strength of University research centres, and ensuring that the research infrastructure is robust and responsive to the expanding and ever-changing needs of University of Padua researchers.
The specific actions are implemented through a set of programmes providing financial support for:
- University-funded research projects
- Strategic Projects strengthening the existing excellence
- matching funds for research projects co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Research (MIUR)
- the purchase of new scientific equipment or the replacement of obsolete equipment
A shared criterion for the allocation of resources in all the above programmes is the evaluation of the scientific quality of the proposals submitted by the researchers. This is performed through a peer review process that makes use of on-line procedures for submission, anonymous evaluation by the referees and final selection of the proposals by a specially appointed committee.
Research Doctorates
The aim of a research doctorate is to improve knowledge within a specific field. Doctorate research activities range from the training of future generations of university lecturers and researchers to the preparation of professionals with the specific skills needed to work in the R&D centres of industries and at independent institutions. This degree corresponds to the third and highest level in University training.
General information about Research Doctorates
The University of Padua believes in investing in young people to give new impetus to research. Training researchers is one of the main purposes of the university, and this area has recently been organised into 35 schools, each providing more than one doctoral curriculum.
The completeness of our training programmes and their cultural and inter-disciplinary open-mindedness mean that research students benefit from an extremely broad choice of professional opportunities even outside the academic field.
