Five campuses (Milano, Brescia, Piacenza-Cremona, Roma and Campobasso), 14 faculties, 52 three-year Major tracks, 42 graduate level degrees, 1 four-years degree, over 100 master tracks, 53 specializations and 5 Postgraduate Schools. These are the basic numbers that characterize the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, founded in 1921 by Father Agostino Gemelli and legally recognized by the Italian state on October 2nd, 1924.

Thanks to its prestigious faculty, the Università Cattolica excels in the diverse and articulate study opportunities that it offers, both in the humanities, as well as the scientific fields. Through the courses offered, combined with strong research programs, the university values and promotes an interdisciplinary approach which helps students gain scientific knowledge in a responsible and autonomous fashion.

Our extensive research program closely collaborates with 16 internal colleges, 62 departments and 93 research centers. Their common goal is the understanding and study of those topics that have proved vital to the well being of each human being: the new frontiers of economics, bioethics, environmental recuperation, developments in the judicial fields, family dynamics, major mass phenomena, the evolution of political systems, new horizons in medicine, the technological applications of physics and mathematics, and the most recent discoveries in environmental research.

Opportunities for academic development and growth don't by any means end with the confirmation of degrees, but are rather continually enhanced through further opportunities available to alumni, already entrenched in professional careers, by keeping them in contact with almost 42,000 enrolled Cattolica students through extra curricular and post-graduate activities.
