[The Rector’s welcome]

Dear Student,

As you well know, the world is now a place in which students are free to study in almost any country. Through experiences gained in transnational mobility promoted by Community programmes such as Lifelong Learning Programme/Erasmus, the University of Cagliari has been trying new and valuable forms of inter-university educational co-operation, which have given an ever-growing number of our students the possibility of learning and discovering new horizons in foreign countries.

At the same time, in continuing the inborn tradition of hospitality of Sardinian people, we have hosted many foreign students, who have had the opportunity to benefit from a wide range of studies within our structures, but also from an intense and rewarding social life in our town.

This short booklet has been prepared to supply you with useful information about the University of Cagliari and its organization, to help you in your studies and extra- curricular activities.

Should you need further information, please do not hesitate to consult our website www.unica.it or contact the International Mobility Office.

Hoping that your stay here will be beneficial in your future career, I am pleased to welcome you to Cagliari and its University.

The Rector

Pasquale Mistretta [PART I. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAGLIARI]

[The University of Cagliari and its history]

The Studium Generalis Kalaritanum was founded in 1606 along the lines of the old Spanish Universities of Salamanca, Valladolid and Lérida. It originally offered Law, Latin, Greek and Hebrew Literature, the Liberal Arts, Medicine, Surgery, Philosophy and Science. When Sardinia passed under the House of Savoy government in the 18th century, the statute of the University was significantly modified, with the expansion of the science faculties and institutes. Designed by the Piedmontese engineer Saverio Belgrano di Famolasco, the new University building was completed at the end of the 18th century. Today it hosts the Rectorate and the administrative offices. The 19th and 20th centuries saw more and more emphasis placed on research activities, with the achievement of important, internationally acclaimed results, especially in the fields of Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Archaeology. In the 20th century, problems arising from severe damage to University buildings during the Second World War had to be dealt with, and reconstruction is only just now approaching its final phase. At the end of the 1960s ambitious plans were advanced for Anglo-Saxon types of residential university structures in a single body.

Now we have several main campus in and on the edge of the city. The largest campus is situated in Monserrato, on an area of 73 hectares. It hosts the science faculties, many departments with their respective faculties, and one of the University general hospitals, adequately integrated with other medical institutions. The other campus are in a residential area near the shopping centre and the sea. There are excellent student facilities close at hand including halls of residence, canteens, libraries, museums and sports facilities. The city offers students a wide range of social and cultural activities all reasonably priced. [The University of Cagliari and its present structure]

At present the University has the following faculties:

Architecture; Economics; Educational sciences; Engineering; Foreign Languages and Literature; Humanities; Law; Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences; Medicine and Surgery; Pharmacy; Political Sciences.

The University has about 36.000 enrolled students, a teaching staff of over 1200 and a technical-administrative staff of about 1300 people.

At the moment the University of Cagliari is one of the largest enterprises in the Region of Sardinia, thanks to its international policy, studies and its numerous agreements with prestigious universities in Europe and around the world. The benefits of studying at the University of Cagliari are its academic excellence, its innovative programmes, its exchange opportunities, its facilities (including all levels and types of sporting facilities) its location on the beautiful Sardinian coast and the low cost of living.

[Erasmus Action]

ERASMUS ACTION belongs to the EC LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME, which allows University students to study in prestigious European Universities for a period of three to twelve months.

The University of Cagliari will give full credit for studies performed in the foreign country. The period of study can be the following:

- attendance of full course units and sitting for examinations; - preparation of a thesis; - vocational training in firms abroad; - performance of activities that are part of research doctorate and postgraduate specialisation courses.

Being an ERASMUS student means:

- admission to university in another European country participating in the programme; - exemption from payment of fees at that university; - full academic recognition by the student’s home university of studies successfully completed in foreign universities.

ERASMUS exchanges can take place with European universities that have signed a bilateral agreement with the home university concerning the number of departing and arriving students in each area of study. Only students enrolled in at least the second academic year, in an official course of studies leading to the attainment of a diploma, a degree, a postgraduate specialisation or a research doctorate may participate in these academic exchanges.

For some years now, management of LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME / ERASMUS exchanges within Italian universities is in the hands of the International Mobility Office which operates in collaboration with all academic and administrative components of universities involved in the initiative. The International Mobility Office supplies all information concerning possibilities of participating, including consultation of brochures prepared by the prestigious European universities that have adhered to the LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME and announcements of yearly competitions for the selection of future beneficiaries on the basis of clear and equitable criteria.

[ECTS and University of Cagliari] Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been passed successfully.

ECTS stands for “European Community Course Credit Transfer System”. ECTS was Students participating in Erasmus will receive full credit for all academic work a pilot project included in the ERASMUS Programme (European Community Action successfully completed at any of the Erasmus partner institutions and they will be Scheme for the Mobility of University Students). One of the main aims of ERASMUS able to transfer these academic credits from one participating institution to another as is the promotion of academic recognition throughout the European Community in long as there is prior agreement between the institutions involved. The University of order to allow students to perform part of their study programme abroad. Cagliari has been closely involved in the Bologna Process since it was conceived, with the aim of ensuring the full involvement of the university at each step in the ECTS was introduced for a maximum 6-year pilot phase extending from academic Process. year 1989/90 to academic year 1994/95. Five subject areas were selected to test ECTS mechanisms: Business Administration, Chemistry, History, Mechanical Engineering and Medicine. From academic year 1995/96, at the end of the pilot phase, the Faculty of Engineering - Degree in Electronic Engineering - of the University of Cagliari decided to utilise the system.

ECTS is a decentralised system based upon the principle of mutual trust and confidence between the participating higher education institutions.

ECTS rules, concerning information (on courses available), agreement (between the home and host institutions) and the use of credit points (to indicate student workload) are set out to reinforce this mutual trust and confidence.

Each ECTS department will describe the courses it offers not only in terms of content but also by awarding credits to each course. ECTS is a credit system based on student workload. Student workload involves lectures, practice and self study. It includes all work needed to prepare for an examination.

The basic allocation of academic credits is 60 credits per year of study or 30 credits per semester or 20 credits per quarter/term. It is important to note that no special courses may be set up for ECTS purposes, but that all ECTS courses must be mainstream courses of the participating institutions, as followed by home students under normal regulations.

Depending on student workload in the courses offered, it is up to the participating institutions to subdivide the credits for the different courses. On-the-job training periods and optional courses which form an integral part of the course of study also receive academic credit. On-the-job training periods and optional courses which do not form an integral part of the course of study do not receive academic credit. Non- credit courses may, however, be mentioned in the transcript of records. [Exchange students]
