Places to study
Each department has its own library*
, but Parma also offers several municipal
libraries where you can study. You can find them in the list pointed out by
clicking here.
Moreover, when the sun still allows it or, for the most daring, even all year,
you can dedicate yourself to an excellent alternation between study and relax
time in the beautiful parks of the city: Parco Ducale e Parco della Cittadella.
*To access the economics library you must have a Student Card, which you can
collect from the International Office of Unipr.
Furthermore, with regard to libraries, it is useful to inform of the existence of the
digitized catalogue of the libraries of the city, which allows you to find out in
which library you can find the desired books:
