History
The university was founded in 1222 by teachers and students who left the University of Bologna due to a conflict with the authorities. In the Middle Ages, students from all over Europe studied in Padua, divided into "nations" (local societies) by place of origin. From 1339 to 1813, it was divided into two organizations - Universitas Iuristarum, where civil and canon law and theology were taught, and Universitas Artistarum, where astronomy, dialectics, philosophy, grammar, medicine and rhetoric were taught. There was also Universitas Theologorum, created in 1373 by Pope Urban V.
The University of Padua became one of the centers of science (astronomy, medicine, law) of the Renaissance, it was patronized by the Republic of Venice , which ensured a spirit of independence from scholastic dogma and influences of Rome.

In 1678, for the first time in the world, a Ph.D. Since then, the university adopted the motto: “Padua’s freedom is universal for all . ”
