The University of Camerino (Italian: Università degli Studi di Camerino) is a university located in Camerino, Italy. The University of Camerino (Italian: Università degli Studi di Camerino) is the best university of Italy among those with fewer than 10,000 students, according to the Guida Censis Repubblica 2011 and 2012 ranking.[2] It claims to have been founded in 1336 and was officially recognized by the Pope in 1727. It is organized into five faculties.

History

Writer and jurist Cino from Pistoia, living in Marche in the years 1319–21, and in Camerino in the spring of 1321, described the territory as teeming with law schools. Camerino became a center of learning by year 1200, offering degrees in civil law, canonical law, medicine, and literary studies. Upon the request of Gentile III da Varano, Gregory XI issued the papal edict of 29 January 1377, addressed to the municipality and to the people, authorizing Camerino to confer (after appropriate examination) bachelor and doctoral degrees with apostolic authority.

In 1727, Benedict XIII founded the Universitas Studii Generalis with the faculties of theology, jurisprudence, medicine, and mathematics. On April 13, 1753 the validity of the degrees from Camerino was extended to the whole territory of the Holy Roman Empire and the title of palatine count bestowed to the dean. In 1861, after annexation by the Kingdom of Italy, the university was proclaimed "free" and it remained so up to 1958, when it became a State University.

Organization

These are the 5 faculties in which the university is divided into:
