In the late Middle Ages, with the papal bull of 1339, Verona was officially conferred the status of studium generale by Pope Benedict XII, with three branches: Law, Medicine and Art. However, it was only in the late 1950s that Verona properly established its own university.

The University of Verona offers a range of degree programmes in different disciplines, including Economics, Law, Arts and Humanities, Communication, Foreign Languages and Literatures, Education, Philosophy, Social Science, Medicine, Exercise Science, Mathematics, Biotechnology and Computer Science.

I really enjoy the courses at my university, the professors are competent and classes are stimulating. The facilities are taken care of and it is an overall pleasant place to study at. There are also quite a few possibilities to study abroad.
Multicultural student's review

Anyway the level of the University is high and I learned how to study hard, and I notice this when I went in...
