University of Siena

The University of Siena UNISI, founded in 1240, is one of the oldest European University and is still deeply connected with the medieval and intercultural town of Siena, therefore offering a unique learning and working environment for both students and scholars coming from many different Italian regions and foreign countries (international students are 10% of the total, 19 courses are entirely taught in English, international agreements for teaching and research collaboration have been increasing every year). Here history and culture meet innovation. The medieval center of the city located in the heart of Tuscany, constitutes the natural campus of a University that hosts about 17,000 students and 700 professors: they are the lifeblood of a city with just 54.000 inhabitants. Thanks to its facilities, quality of services, excellent research projects and scientific publications, wide teaching offer, many post-lauream opportunities and strong mission towards internationalization, UNISI has a leading role on national and international scene both at teaching and research level, as stated by its high positions in many excellence-rankings.
