University of Milan-Bicocca, Public research university in Milan, Italy.
The University of Milan-Bicocca is a public research institution in Milan, distributed across sites in Milan and Monza. It offers 82 undergraduate and 75 graduate programs and maintains a museum network presenting scientific exhibitions.
The institution was founded in 1998 to create additional study places in northern Italy. It emerged during a phase when Italian higher education was opening and expanding.
The buildings once housed a Pirelli industrial plant, redesigned to hold classrooms and laboratories. Students now move through spaces that were once devoted to tire production and now serve academic purposes.
Most buildings lie in the northeast of Milan and can be reached by public transport. Signage and wayfinding help visitors navigate between the different faculty buildings.
The Bicocca site was formerly an outpost of the city, named after a historic country estate. Today the name stands for a modern neighborhood that has grown around the institution.
