The University of Cagliari (Università degli Studi di Cagliari), is located in the historic capital of the Italian island of Sardinia, the second biggest island in the Mediterranean.  The gradual growth of the university has led to the current configuration in 6 Faculties (Biology and Pharmacy, Economics, Law, and Political Sciences, Engineering and Architecture, Humanities, Medicine and Surgery, Sciences) and 17 Departments, which are responsible for achieving the primary objectives of the university: research and teaching.
