Who we are

Founded in 1806 by Ferdinand III of Bourbon, King of Naples and the Two Sicilies, who transformed the Panormitan Academy of Studies into a university. Today, UNIPA is a major university, equally focused on teaching, research, and the third mission. Its current educational offerings include 161 courses of study, including Bachelor Degrees, Master Degrees Single Cycle, and Master Degrees, as well as 44 specialization schools and 33 research doctorates.

The educational paths represent broad fields of knowledge, combining tradition and experience with a constant openness to innovation, the productive world, and social inclusion. Important scientific figures have carried out their work at the university in Palermo, including the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella; the astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi; the chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro; the architect Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia; and Nobel Prize in Physics winner Emilio Segrè. Furthermore, Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino, and Francesca Laura Morvillo also studied at UNIPA.
