[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.

[PART III. STUDENT MOBILITY]

[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]

ECTS stands for “European Community Course Credit Transfer System”. ECTS was a pilot project included in the ERASMUS Programme (European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students). One of the main aims of ERASMUS is the promotion of academic recognition throughout the European Community in order to allow students to perform part of their study programme abroad.

ECTS was introduced for a maximum 6-year pilot phase extending from academic 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.

Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations have been passed successfully.

Students participating in Erasmus will receive full credit for all academic work successfully completed at any of the Erasmus partner institutions and they will be able to transfer these academic credits from one participating institution to another as long as there is prior agreement between the institutions involved. The University of 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 Process.

[Exchange students]

You can study at the University of Cagliari within the framework of international co-operation with the bilateral agreements. A detailed description of the university bilateral agreements, including students’ mobility, is found in the pages to follow. Applicants should be fully registered at their home university and have completed successfully one or two years of study. Students must be able to study in the Italian language. Application forms are available from the international office both in Cagliari and your partner university.

[PART IV. THE CITY OF CAGLIARI]

[The history of Cagliari]

Fifteen hundred years ago, the poet Claudian sang the praises of this city, which stretches its open arms out into its gulf. The great English novelist D. H. Lawrence described Cagliari as “a naked jewel of amber that unexpectedly opens, rose-like, in the depths of the wide bay”. It is a sunny city, not only because its climate is one of the mildest in the Mediterranean, but also because its southern exposure gives it the appearance of a picture window overlooking the sea. The climate is sufficiently tempered by light breezes so as to offer good bathing from May to October. Francesco Alziator, one of Cagliari’s best-known writers, spoke of: “Cagliari, the city of the sun, an enchanting blend of rock and colours, of trees and sparkling glass; these are the real colours that Cagliari, the city of the sun, unfolds and reveals to those who approach her from the sea”. The city is the political, administrative, economic and cultural centre of the Island. Cagliari, the capital of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, sums up its entire history, struggled over, with varying degrees of success, by Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Pisans, Aragonese and Savoyards. Inhabited ever since prehistoric times, as can be seen from remains of lake-dwellings found in the nearby lagoons, this town was the main object of all would-be conquerors. The city is of Phoenician-Punic origin (Karalis) and there are still some imposing Roman ruins to be seen today, such as the Amphitheatre, with a seating capacity of nearly twenty thousand. The construction dates back to the 2nd century. It is held to be one of the most important ruins left by Imperial Rome. We can still see the cavea, the trenches for wild beasts, underground passages and the imposing series of grandstands. Also quite interesting is the impressive Sepulchre of Attilia Pomptilla (1st century), commonly known as the “Viper’s Grotto” because of the architectonic decorations on the pediment that show two serpents. Greek and Latin poetic inscriptions have been carved into the walls. You should also visit the House of the Roman poet Tigellius. The construction dates from the 2nd to the 1st century B.C. It is a series of ruins in an ancient city area dating from the imperial period. There are the remains of an atrium, a tablinum with a mosaic, columns and architectural details. Of archaeological importance are also the Roman ruins discovered inside the church of Sant’Agostino (Via Baylle). Two high towers, the Elephant Tower and San Pancrazio Tower, designed by the Sardinian architect Giovanni Capula and built under Pisan rule at the beginning of the 14th century, give us a good example of Sardinian architecture during the Middle Ages. They enclose and protect the medieval Castello quarter which dominates the city, surrounded by high ramparts. The medieval city consisted of a hamlet located much higher than the port (the quarters where fishermen lived stretched down towards the harbour). Nowadays this is the historic centre par excellence, where traces of the people who have inhabited it are most clearly preserved.

The city has continued to develop at the foot of the Castello since medieval times, mostly as the result of the intense activity of its port and the busy network of commercial and political relations with the rest of the island. Today, with its 250 000 inhabitants and the close-knit fabric of urban centres surrounding it, Cagliari is a great Mediterranean City, bustling with life and activity. Throughout the centuries, the port of Cagliari has represented the main gateway to Sardinia. An easy landing stage for merchants and conquerors, missionaries and visitors throughout the ages, it is today one of the key ports along western Mediterranean routes; a large new industrial port has recently been completed and has begun playing an important role in further enhancing the natural vocation of the city. Like every other town in Sardinia, Cagliari still preserves some characteristic folk traditions. The most important feast-day, celebrated every year on 1st May, is the feast in honour of Sant’Efisio. He was martyred under the Emperor Diocletian and is worshipped as the patron saint of the people of Cagliari. A festive procession, made up of groups of people from all over the island dressed in their local costumes, accompany the statue of the Saint through the streets. The procession of Sant’Efisio, organised following a precise ritual, is led by the Alternos, the city’s representative, and by the miliziani (militiamen) in their typical red costumes. Placed on a coach, the saint’s statue, enclosed within a glass case, is accompanied by ox carts, decorated and festooned with flowers, to a little chapel near the ruins of the Roman town of Nora where, according to tradition, he was beheaded. There are numerous museums in Cagliari which contain documents of its past civilisation, as well as many relics of ancient Sardinian history and prehistory. The most interesting of these is the Archaeological Museum with its relics of Nuragic, Phoenician-Punic and Roman civilisations. The exceptional collection of bronze statuettes from the Nuragic civilisation makes the museum one of great importance. It houses the most complete collection of findings of the early Sardinian Nuragic civilisation. Especially worth seeing is the rich collection of Phoenician-Punic objects made of gold and the collection of Roman glassware. An ultra-modern Citadel of Museums has been built within the body of the old Fortifications, inside the old Castello district. This recently-opened architectural complex combines many of the ancient structures of the fortifications, and especially of the Royal Arsenal, with modern, split-level buildings. A Far Eastern Collection is on permanent exhibition and, occasionally, important works of art are exhibited. In future, the building will house all the city’s museums and some University institutes. Paintings and objects d’art of great importance are also preserved in the fine Palazzo Comunale (Municipal Building) and in the Cathedral. Every age and every domination has left its mark in this church, built between the 12th and the 13th centuries. Among the most interesting are: the pulpit carved by Mastro Guglielmo between 1159 and 1162 for the Cathedral of Pisa, the triptych by the Flemish painter Gerard David, left here by a Spanish soldier who had taken it

during the sack of Rome; the cenotaph of Martino II of Aragon; the tombs of the princes of the House of Savoy. During the year, Cagliari plays host to a wide range of sports events: not only football, but also basketball, tennis, track and field, cycling, boxing and motor racing all provide events of great interest for fans. One of the most important structures for sailing - a sport that may be enjoyed all year round because of the mild climate - is the marina called Marina Piccola, at the beginning of Poetto, one of the finest beaches in Sardinia. Situated in the centre of the beautiful southern coast of the island, with Cape Teulada to the west at one end, and Villasimius to the east at the other, Cagliari is the ideal starting point for a series of excursions: either to discover the thousand little bays along the coast, or in search of the past, the most important remains of which are to be found at Nora, a Phoenician-Punic-Roman town 30 km to the west of Cagliari (on the coast), at the Isle of Sant’Antioco a Punic tophet and necropolis (the artefacts gathered from the digs are kept in the nearby “antiquarium”; worth visiting are the vast catacombs carved out of underground chambers from the Phoenician-Punic era beneath the Romanesque church of Sant’Antioco), at Fluminimaggiore, in the Antas Valley the remains of the imposing temple of Sid Addir Babai - Sardus Pater, built in the Roman period (3rd century) on a pre-existing place of worship which dated back to the Nuragic and subsequently to the Phoenician civilisations, the magnificent Nuragic constructions of Villanovaforru and Barumini, an imposing nuragic fortress 70 km to the north (in the hills).
