There are about 45,000 students enrolled at the University of Catania, the oldest of Sicily, its foundation dates back to 1434. The organization of the teaching is handled today by 17 departments, by the Faculty of Medicine, and by two special didactic units established in the decentralized offices of Ragusa (Modern Languages) and Syracuse (Architecture). A special didactic unit is also the sch...ool of excellence "Scuola Superiore di Catania", a higher education centre of the University of Catania conceived in 1998 to select the best young minds and offer them a course of studies including analysis, research and experimentation.
Our main goal is to promote the diffusion of knowledge and educational technologies to ensure, encourage and accelerate the creation of a professional and entrepreneurial orientation inside the territory. To achieve this purpose, it is important that the university attracts students of the highest potential, locally and internationally, and delivers our students an excellent educational experience: by offering method, efficiency and efficacy, to increase the prestige of the institution and its attractiveness to students. Therefore, our mission is to give all students, during their period at our university, high-quality teaching, innovation and research activities that make university a unique experience. Accordingly, the Athenaeum plays a key role in the Mediterranean area, enhancing projects of cooperation and dialogue between cultures and promoting international networks among universities. In particular, the city of Catania has always played an active role in promoting cooperation and cultural exchanges for centuries, in the Mediterranean area and in Europe, within a strong and ever growing international community.
The University of Catania considers the internationalization process to be of deeply importance for its development, therefore, it is willing to adopt strategic plans aiming at improving such process, thanks to some different actions to be realized in a short time and some others requiring longer times for their effectiveness but all pursuing the goal of rising its visibility, reputation and attractiveness. The University of Catania is the oldest of the Italian South-centre universities and it manifests some excellences in terms of didactics and research thanks to particular synergies and specific collaborations with several research institutes operating in its territory, such as C.N.R., I.N.A.F., I.N.F.N., I.N.G.V.
