 The University of Siena is one of the oldest universities in the world, with records of its presence in the city of Siena dating back to the year 1240. Over these almost eight centuries of history, the city of Siena and its university have walked their ways together, collaborating to increase their reciprocal prestige. The university is divided into 15 departments, covering most of the academic disciplines, from life, natural and agricultural sciences, to the School of Law, from business and economics, to the School of Medicine, from literature and cultural heritage, to political sciences and engineering. With over 15,000 international students and 600 incoming students on short-time ability programs, the University of Siena has a solid international profile, supported by 25% of its programs, which are taught entirely in English. Now, the Medieval City Centre is the natural campus of the university, hosting 18,000 students, 700 faculty members and 900 staff members. In a city of just 50,000 inhabitants located in the heart of Tuscany, university students composed about one-fifth of the active population during the academic year, making our city as lively and eclectic as only small university towns can be. Here, history and culture meet innovation, through the fertile interaction of professors and students coming from all over the world. Here, in the quiet of the square in front of the cathedral, in the excitement of a sunny piazza del campo, in the world comfort of the many bars, pubs and pizzerias, students have an incomparable opportunity of learning from the past to explore their own future.
