The University of Salerno, founded in 1968 (Italian: Università degli Studi di Salerno, UNISA, Latin: Hippocratica Civitas Studium Salerni) is one of the younger universities in Italy. With its Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, however, it can draw its tradition back to the School of Salerno (Schola Medica Salernitana), an important medieval medical teaching and research institution. The University of Salerno has 10 faculties and around 40,000 students enrolled.
history
The origins of the University of Salerno go back to the 9th century and allow the university to count itself among the oldest universities in Europe, along with Paris and Bologna. The school of Salerno (Schola Medica Salernitana), founded in the 9th century, is one of the first medical teaching and research facilities in Europe. It had its heyday from the 10th to the 13th century when the city of Salerno acquired the nickname "City of Hippocrates " (Latin: Civitas Hippocratica) with its medical role model . Here independent anatomical research combined with the traditional medical knowledge of the Greek, Arabic, Western-Latin and Jewish world.
The medical school lasted until the 19th century when it was closed in 1811 by the Bonapartist King of Naples Joachim Murat . In 1944 Viktor Emanuel II reopened it as the "Giovanni Cuomo" University of Education (Istituto Universitario di Magistero "Giovanni Cuomo") . With the nationalization in 1968, the faculties were expanded and the name was changed to "Università degli Studi di Salerno" . In 2005, the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery was re-established, following on from the tradition of the Salerno School. In the seal of the university the medieval nickname Salernos "Civitas Hippocratica" (City of Hippocrates) is used to commemorate this.
In 1988, the rapidly growing university moved to the new campus in the small town of Fisciano , a few kilometers from Salerno in the Irno Valley. The ultra-modern campus university offers employees and students a comprehensive service there. The Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, which opened in 2005, is based in Baronissi .
