Università degli Studi di Milano
Via Festa del Perdono, 7
The establishment of the Università degli Studi of Milan dates back to 1924, thanks to Luigi Mangiagalli, obstetrician, elected deputy in 1902 and then Mayor of Milano, who worked hard in the first two decades of the Twentieth century to give Milan a higher education system.
From the second World War the headquarters of the University are located in the building that once was the “Ospedale Maggiore Ca’ Granda”, wanted by Francesco Sforza in the middle of the Fifteenth Century.
During the ’60 there was a significant expansion of the University, with new structures, new faculties and courses.
To ensure a reasonable relationship between available resources and users, the University begun in the Nineties a complex process of diversification of its structures, based on the doubling of the faculties with the highest number of students and on the creation of new decentralized poles.
The initiation of the reform, implemented in 2001, and the new increase of students, today about 65.000, have lead in recent years to a stronger commitment in the field of student services –orientation, work experiences, teaching on-line – and a large new investment for the expansion of spaces for teaching and research.
