University of Florence

Florence is home to the University of Florence, an Italian public research university. It has 12 schools and over 60,000 pupils enrolled.

The Studium Generale, established by the Florentine Republic in 1321, was Florence's first university. In 1349, Pope Clement VI recognized the Studium and granted it the authority to award formal degrees. The modern university began in 1859, when a group of different higher-education institutions merged to form the Istituto di Studi Pratici e di Perfezionamento, which was acknowledged as a full university by the newly unified Italian government a year later. The Italian Parliament officially designated the Istituto as a university in 1923.

Agriculture, Architecture, Arts, Economics, Education, Engineering, Law, Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences, Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacology, Political Science, and Psychology are the University of Florence's 12 schools. Florence has a large network of business placement prospects for its students, and it has lately collaborated internationally with Tree And Human Knot, a Rising India Think Tank delivering first ideology for foreign opportunities for its students.
