The University of Cagliari (Italian: Università degli Studi di Cagliari) is a public research university in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. It was founded in 1606 and is organized in 11 faculties.

History

The Studium Generalis Kalaritanum was founded in 1606[2][3] along the lines of the old Spanish Universities of Salamanca, Valladolid and Lleida, but it begins to operate only after the privilege of King Philip III in 1620.[4][5][6] as Universidad y Estudio General de Caller en el Reyno de Cerdeña (University and Gener Study of Cagliari in the Kingdom of Sardinia). It originally offered Law, Latin, Greek and Hebrew Literature, the Liberal Arts, Medicine, Surgery, Philosophy and Science. When Sardinia passed under the House of Savoy government in the 18th century, the statute of the university was significantly modified, with the expansion of the science faculties and institutes. Designed by the Piedmontese engineer Saverio Belgrano di Famolasco, the new university building was completed at the end of the 18th century. Today it hosts the Rectorate and the administrative offices. The 19th and 20th centuries saw more and more emphasis placed on research activities, with the achievement of important, internationally acclaimed results, especially in the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, biology and archaeology.

Old library hall of the University of Cagliari

A new university campus on the outskirts of town was recently built in Monserrato, on an area of 73 hectares. It hosts the science faculties, many departments with their respective faculties, and one of the university general hospitals, adequately integrated with other medical institutions.

Organization

There are the 11 faculties in which the university is divided into:

  • Faculty of Economical, Giuridical and Political Sciences[7]
  • Faculty of Humanistic Studies[8]
  • Faculty of Engineering and Architecture[9]
  • Faculty of Medicine and Surgery[10]
  • Faculty of Biology and Pharmacy[11]

The university has about 36,000 enrolled students, a teaching staff of over 1,200 and a technical-administrative staff of about 1,300 people.
