Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore is Europe’s most important Catholic university. With its four campuses of Milan, Brescia, Piacenza-Cremona and Rome, it is also the only university in Italy operating on a national scale. Since its foundation in 1921 in Milan, thousands of students have graduated from the university, many of whom having reached notable levels of achievement in diverse professional spheres. In espousing the universal vocation to holiness and faithfulness to the Gospel, Università Cattolica increasingly aims to be a special venue for prolific dialogue among men and women of all cultures, in consideration of a harmonious balance between reason and faith. The university is both a lively community and a research hub, where students are urged towards constant and intense participation in academic life by taking advantage of the numerous opportunities for growth that the institution offers every day. With its undergraduate degrees, first- and second-level master degrees, research doctorates and other post-graduate programmes, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore gives young people an ongoing opportunity to interact with scholars and to fully and adequately fulfil the commitment to their studies, thereby making an essential contribution to their moral and professional enrichment. (Source: the university’s website)
