Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart) is Italy’s largest private university and one of Europe’s largest Catholic higher-education institutions. Founded in Milan by Franciscan friar Agostino Gemelli, it offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs across the humanities, social sciences, economics, law, medicine, psychology, education, agriculture, and related fields, with a strong Catholic intellectual tradition and close ties to professional and research networks. The university operates a multi-campus system anchored in Milan, with additional seats in Rome, Brescia, and Piacenza–Cremona. It combines teaching with applied and basic research through numerous departments, research centers, and affiliated healthcare and professional training pathways (notably in medicine and health sciences in Rome). International exchange, dual-degree options, and partnerships with universities worldwide support a substantial community of Italian and international students.
