Start of the new academic year of the University of Cagliari , with the opening of enrollments scheduled for next 11 July.
Six new degree courses, expanded the range with no fees to pay and no increases. And again: enhanced student services with tutors, summer schools and psychological counseling.
THE OFFER - Overall, the University of Cagliari will offer 86 courses of study including 42 three-year degree courses, 6 single-cycle master's degree courses and 38 master's degree courses. Among the novelties , the professionalizing degree course in Building and land techniques , aimed at training surveyors and building experts.

Other beginnings: master's degree course in archeology , three-year electronic, computer and telecommunications engineering and degree course in biomedical laboratory techniques .
"These are novelties - explained the rector Francesco Mola - that respond to specific requests and needs. The NRRR was also a stimulus , as demonstrated by the degree in Electrical Energy Engineering for sustainable development. But also in the humanities field, the course of archeologia is attentive to the new innovative methodologies of the sector ".
CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEFITS - For the next year , taxes and contributions remain unchanged . On the contrary, the no tax area was extended with the increase of the Isee and Ispra thresholds. An additional benefit was also introduced for students with a disability between 50 and 60% with a reduction in tuition by 30%. Closer to students and families because with Covid - underlined Mola - cases of hardship have increased.
Among the services is the "Faculty buddy", an older brother who helps freshmen who are entering university life.
"We try to listen - said the rector Francesco Mola - the needs of the young people. But we also try to understand what happens in the rest of the world and this is our idea of internationalization. Double degrees and the increase in foreign language courses ". The courses taught in English increased from 44 in 2017 to 135 in 2023.
INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY - And speaking of Erasmus programs "Cagliari has nothing to envy to other universities as evidenced by the quality certifications - explained Mola - but I am not against the freedom to move between universities: I understand the desire of many students to experiment , also try ultra-specialized courses of a Polytechnic that maybe there may not be here. But a system that provides for the continuous migration of students could be a good solution . It is not just a dream: the double title, for example, goes in this direction. And Cagliari would have all the credentials to host students from other universities ".
