The University of Sassari was founded in 1558 by Alessio Fontana, a distinguished gentleman of the Town of Sassari. The official launch dates back to May 1562, when the Jesuits started their activity as scholars and teachers for the local clergy.
This medium-sized University, with over 12,000 students and around 700 scholars, consists of 11 Departments, which also collaborate with a numbe...r of academic and research centers and institutes. In addition to its 50+ institutional courses, it also offers a wide range of post-graduate studies and research activities, including PhD courses, medical specialisation schools, advanced training programs and international exchange projects.
UNISS main campus is based in Sassari (population 130,000), the main city in the North of Sardinia. It lies on a range of hills overlooking the strait between Northern Sardinia and the Southern coast of Corsica. The island enjoys a mild and temperate climate during the whole year, being located in the middle of the Western Mediterranean sea and at a 225m altitude.
The University has promoted its international dimension since its foundation in 1562, when, during the reign of Philip II in the last year of the Council of Trent, "the Jesuit College" was created under the auspices of Alessio Fontana, a collaborator of the then Emperor Charles V.
Holding to its historical roots, the University is now starting its journey to become a reformed public University, within a more competitive and global international system, inspired by the principles of autonomy and responsibility; it is aware of the richness and complexity of academic traditions and the value of diverse identities. It is choosing a sound organization, it fosters the democratic methodology in the election of its administrative bodies, it promotes the training of young people and protects the right to education; and it places the student at the heart of its academic policies, thus promoting culture as a collective value. It champions the constitutional values set for HEI"s, the freedom to pursue one"s own study, research and teaching careers, ensuring all appropriate and necessary conditions to make them effective. In agreement with the other autonomous institutions, it undertakes to promote the sustainable development of Sardinia and to transfer knowledge across the territory, working for its cultural, civil, economic and social progress.
UNISS is a space for free research and free teaching, critical sensibility towards knowledge and dissemination of scientific knowledge. It guarantees autonomy to its facilities in the fields of research, teaching and service, it promotes the active participation of all its members to University life and it facilitates their integration with the territory
