It was founded in 1361 and is organized in 9 Faculties. History The University of Pavia is one of the oldest universities in Europe. An edict issued by King Lotarius quotes a higher education institution in Pavia as already established 825 A.D. This institution, mainly devoted to ecclesiastical and civil law as well as to divinity studies, was then elected as the prime educational centre for northern Italy. Enlarged and renovated by the Duke of Milan , Gian Galeazzo Visconti , it became the University of the Duchy, having been officially established as a studium generale by Emperor Charles IV in 1361 . During the following centuries, even though passing through periods of both adversity and prosperity, the fame of the University of Pavia grew and not just in Italy. The continuous presence of learned men and scientists who wrote celebrated works and made important discoveries, together with the distinguished educational record of the University, added to the good name of the institution. Private and public school residences contributed to increase and keep this fame alive during the centuries. The oldest residences, named Collegio Borromeo and Collegio Ghislieri, were built in the 16th century, and in more recent times others were founded through both public and private initiatives.

Research is carried out in departments, institutes, clinics, centres and laboratories, in close association with public and private institutions, enterprises, and factories.
