The university
The university, with its historic seat in Palazzo del Bo, presents itself as one of Italy's best for teaching quality: 8 schools, 32 departments and 210 degree programmes, with a growing number of courses taught entirely in English and, after the first degree, master's degrees, doctorates, specialisation schools and professional masters. Its sites are spread across the city; the university reports that its graduates' employment rate is above the national average.
Student support
ESU Padova manages the regional scholarships (with calls published on its site, including a sports-merit grant), the residences and catering: two directly run restaurants and 17 partner canteens, including Nord Piovego, Agripolis, Casa del Fanciullo, Murialdo, Pio X and one canteen in Vicenza. Housing applications go through the Sportello Studente portal according to the annual call.
