Università Cattolica
del Sacro Cuore
"everything possible in person,
everything necessary from remote"
Envisioning life after COVID-19 on-campus is the desire to see our University come alive
again, to welcome smiling faces in lecture halls and our corridors, to wish you a smooth
start to a new academic year.
In 2020 institutions across the globe, including Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, were
compelled to remodel the educational environment. In a short time, COVID-19 radically
changed the way students received their education and together with their professors they
were forced to adapt to alternative learning methods. Despite the challenges, Università
Cattolica’s response from our community was very positive and different learning methods
paved the way for extensive study and new work opportunities. And we value this.
However, we foresee a return to campus in person, in full compliance with COVID-19
preventive and safety measures. Your safety comes first. We are optimistic about getting
closer to university life, fostered by sharing ideas and experiences. We are excited to see
the rush of students on their way to class or eagerly waving at friends passing by on
campus.
With passion and perseverance, Università Cattolica is putting in an endless effort every
day to inspire all its members into creating a safe, responsible and educational haven for
welcoming our students on-campus.
your safety
We look forward to meeting you.
