The University of Bologna (Italian: Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna, UNIBO) is the oldest continually operating degree-granting university in the world, and the second biggest university in Italy. It is located in the city of Bologna. The University of Bologna was the first university founded in the western world (AD 1088) and since 2000, its motto has been Alma mater studiorum (Latin for "fostering mother of studies"). The university received a charter from Frederick I Barbarossa in 1158, but in the 19^th century, a committee of historians led by Giosuè Carducci traced the birth of the University back to 1088. The University celebrated its 900^th anniversary in 1988, making it arguably the longest-lived occidental university. The University of Bologna is historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law. Image File history File links Bologna_University_seal. ...

History

The University of Bologna's history is one of great thinkers in science and the humanities, making it an indispensable point of reference in the panorama of European culture.

The institution that we today call the University began to take shape in Bologna at the end of the 11^th century, when masters of grammar, rhetoric and logic began to devote themselves to the law. As a means of recording the passage of time, the 11th century was that century which lasted from 1001 to 1100. ... Grammar is the study of rules governing the use of language. ...

The first recorded scholars were Pepone and Irnerius, the latter of whom was defined by the former as "lucerna iuris". In 1158, at the urging of four doctors (thought to be pupils at the University), Frederick I promulgated the Constitutio Habita, in which the University was legally declared a place where research could develop independently from any other power.

In the 15^th century Greek and Hebrew studies were instituted, and in the 16^th century those of "natural magic", which we would refer to as, "experimental sciences." The philosopher Pietro Pomponazzi upheld the study of the laws of nature against the traditionalist position of theology and philosophy. A representative figure of this period was Ulisse Aldrovandi, whose contributions ranged from pharmacopoeia to the study of animals, fossils, and marvels of nature which he collected and classified.

In the 17^th century, which is thought of as the "golden era" of the University, medicine coincided with the teachings of Marcello Malpighi and students began to employ the microscope for anatomical research. By this time, the University's fame had spread throughout Europe and it was a destination for many illustrious guests. Famous scholars and students included Pico della Mirandola and Leon Battista Alberti, who devoted themselves to canon law; and Nicolaus Copernicus who began his astronomical observations while studying pontifical law. Paracelso, Raymond of Peñafort, Albrecht Dürer, St. Carlo Borromeo, Torquato Tasso, and Carlo Goldoni all spent time at the University.

In this period came the studies of Luigi Galvani who, along with Alessandro Volta, and Benjamin Franklin, as well as Henry Cavendish, who was one of the founders of modern electrotechnical studies. Following the establishment of the United Italian State came a period of great prosperity for the University in which the figures of Giovanni Capellini, Giosuè Carducci, Giovanni Pascoli, Augusto Righi, Federigo Enriques, Giacomo Ciamician, and Augusto Murri stand out.

The University maintained its central position on the scene of global culture until the period between World War I and World War II. As its own influence declined and other universities came to prominence, Bologna was called upon to forge relationships with institutions in the most advanced countries to modernise and reinvigorate its activities. Among the many challenges which it has met with success, Bologna committed itself to the European dimension which has now led to adoption of the new university system.

Organization

The primary objective of the faculties of the University of Bologna is to define, organise and connect the academic activities of the degree courses. Corresponding to the defined scientific-disciplinary fields, the faculties are divided into one or more first-level degree courses which are followed by specialised degree courses.

After a process of harmonization with the European Community system of high education; nowadays the University offers 128 different “Laurea” or “Laurea breve” first-level degrees (three years of courses), followed by a similar number of “Laurea specialistica” specialised degrees (two years). However, some courses have maintained preceding rules of “Laurea specialistica europea”, with only one cycle of study of five years, except for medicine which requires six years of courses. After the “Laurea” is also possible to attend 1^st level Master. After “Laurea specialistica” and “Laurea specialistica europea” are attained, one may proceed to 2^nd level Master, specialisation schools, or doctorates of research.
