Education

Dean: Prof. Domenico Simeone

The Faculty of Education has a rich and solid tradition, which is intertwined with those of Università Cattolica. Founded first as a Higher Institute of Education in 1923 and then as a Faculty of Education in 1936, its name has been linked to those of illustrious experts, such as Aldo Agazzi, one of the most authoritative pedagogues of the twentieth century, and Enzo Noè Girardi, a well-known literary critic and dean of the Faculty from 1983 to 1992.

The words of the future: Culture, Training, Education

Campuses and Degree Programmes:

Education has three perspectives: the individual as a person, as a subject in himself, [...] and the individual as a being to be socialized and civilized, that is, to be made an interactive and conscious subject of society and a participant in the values of culture and civilization elaborated by the human race before it was born. 

Aldo Agazzi, the Dean of the Faculty from 1968 to 1973

On this foundation, the Faculty has opened up to the new challenges of knowledge and the new perspectives of education.

Today it is one of the most up-to-date and qualified training laboratories, which develops the most innovative results of pedagogical and educational research thanks to the new spaces that communication technologies, bioethics, neuroscience and intercultural comparison have opened up to training. The rich interdisciplinary contribution - guaranteed by the dialogue between psychology, sociology, literature, philosophy, history and the various areas of study of the University - and an educational offer attentive to the link with the world of work make it possible to achieve an employment rate of over 80% for recent graduates.

The Faculty's educational offer, present in the Milan, Brescia and Piacenza campuses.

I believe that the contemporary university, while it has the duty to collaborate for the advancement of the sciences and to follow the methodology required by each of them, must never put in second place what requires the recognition of its primacy, that is, man, the human person, the world of spirituality

Father Agostino Gemelli, Founder of Università Cattolica
