Im glad to present you the
University of Pavia

Our institution is one of the oldest universities in Europe, and the oldest in
Lombardy: since its foundation in 1361, it has been a good place to live
and 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

graduate Schools, Specialization Courses and Masters. Research is carried
out in departments, institutes, clinics, centres, and laboratories in close
association with public and private institutions, enterprises and companies.
The University of Pavia enjoys a strong tradition of international student and
teacher exchanges: bilateral agreements involve, among others, the
historical universities of Coimbra, and many universities in Europe, the
Middle East, the Mediterranean area, the United States of America, China,
Japan and many other countries.
The University of Pavia is in a way unique not only because of its prestigious
historical origins and top quality achievements, but also due to its leading
and promoting role in the so-called Pavia System, characterized by 15
colleges and residences where thousands of students can live, study and
play sports. The oldest residences, named Collegio Borromeo and Collegio
Ghislieri, were built in the 16th century; more recently other colleges for
male and female students were founded through both public and private
initiatives.

International activities

COIMBRA Group

The Coimbra Group is an


integrated network of European
Universities, aiming at promoting
the concept of Universitas through
the creation of special academic
and cultural ties, the improvement
of facilities, and the creation of
privileged information and
exchange channels. Its areas of
interest are not merely European
but global, involving universities in
central and Eastern Europe, Africa,
Latin America, and non-EU
Mediterranean Countries. The
Coimbra Group Charter was drawn
up and signed in September 1987
during a general meeting at the
University of Pavia. The group has
grown from its initial 19 members to
the current 34 members, among
which are some of the oldest
European Universities.

The University of Pavia participates


in the Coimbra Group Student
Exchange Network (CG SEN)
together with other 17 Universities.
This Exchange program is open to
students from all Faculties who are
regularly enrolled at least in their 4th
academic year. The selected
students will spend a 3-6 month
period of study and research
abroad during which they will work
on their degree paper. It is not
possible to take exams during the
exchange period. Any activities
carried out will be fully recognised
by the home institution as an
integral part of the students
University career.

The College System


The University of Pavia, is among
the universities that possess the
most estensive Halls of Residence
system in Italy. The majority of its
students are housed in its 15 Halls.
The most ancient ones date back
to 1564 (Collegio Borromeo) and
1567 (Collegio Ghislieri), while the
two most recent ones (Collegio
Maino and Volta) have been
founded in year 2000. The Halls are
either male or female, catered or
self-catered (with kitchens on each
floor for student use). Most Halls
admit both undergraduate and
graduate students and places are
offered for the academic year
except Christmas and Easter
vacations.
Although all Colleges are bound by
University Statutes, the funding
status of individual Colleges varies.
Some have independent status;
the majority receive core support
from the regional educational
authority.

Students, at the University of Pavia,


are not obliged to be members of
any College in order to gain
admission to the University but a
number of them elect to live in
