Geology in Pavia

Welcome to the University of Pavia

 

The University of Pavia is one of the oldest universities in Europe. An edict issued by King Lotharius quotes a higher education institution in Pavia as already established in 825. This institution, mainly devoted to law studies, was then chosen as the main education centre for northern Italy. 

Enlarged and renovated by the Duke of Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti, it became the University of the Duchy, officially established as a Studium Generale by Emperor Charles IV in 1361.

The University of Pavia enjoys a strong tradition of international student and teacher exchanges: bilateral agreements involve, among others, the historical universities of Coimbra, and many universities in Europe, the Middle East, the Mediterranean area, the United States of America, China, Japan and many other countries.

The Department of Earth Sciences and the Environment houses degree programs in Geology and Applied Geology. The President of the degree course is Prof. Riccardo Tribuzio assisted by Prof. Miriam Cobianchi and efficient didactic secretary.

Classes are held at the pole "Cravino" in a modern facility equipped with classrooms, laboratories and study rooms. The staff / student ratio is optimal and allows continuous contact and extremely profitable both in class, in the laboratory, and during the many field activities.
