The University of Parma

Founded in 1117, the University of Parma (known familiarly as Unipr) is one of the oldest universities in the world. Today it is divided into several hubs: the Campus in the southern area of the city, which gathers all scientific faculties, and various Humanities, Economics, and Law hubs scattered in the beautiful buildings of the historic center.

Places to Study
