UNIVERSITA 'DEL SALENTO The University of Salento, until 2007 University of Lecce and therefore known by the abbreviation UNIL, is the second university in Puglia number of subscribers, preceded by the University of Bari
The Universe ' The University of Salento was officially founded at the end of the year 1955, with the establishment of the Faculty of Education. This is followed, in 1957 the Faculty of Humanities. In order to have legal recognition, however, must wait 1959.Nel 1967 will be added to the first two Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences, and during the same academic year the University of Salento will finally state university.
In 1987 he founded the Faculty of Economics and from 1990 onwards there are the Faculty of Engineering, Cultural Heritage, Lingue e Letterature Straniere, Scienze della Formazione e Giurisprudenza. Nel 1995, invece, viene soppressa la Facoltà di Magistero.Per rintracciare i primi fermenti culturali e le prime spinte alla nascita di un centro di istruzione superiore in Terra d'Otranto bisogna risalire alla fine del XVIII secolo. Nel 1767, infatti, con l'espulsione dei Gesuiti dal Regno di Napoli, voluta da Ferdinando IV, e con la relativa chiusura degli Istituti da loro fondati e gestiti, si ha una spinta in senso laico e illuminista alla gestione dell'istruzione da parte dello Stato.
A Lecce, in particolare, i Gesuiti, sotto l'impulso di padre Bernardino Realino avevano realizzato opere assistenziali e istituti d'istruzione, facendo del Collegio leccese, insieme than that of Taranto, a thriving center of culture, with the chair of Italian literature, Latin and Greek, to which were added later in the course of speculative philosophy and education, ethics and theology. With the expulsion of the Jesuits born in Lecce and Otranto in all directions several schools and colleges, boarding schools in Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto, Lecce was referred to the richest insegnamenti.Dal proliferation of schools and colleges to 'escalating demands for the establishment of a Royal University during the early decades of the 1800s, the pace is quick. But expectations of the middle class who wanted a college education, or, as was said, "sublime," were routinely disregarded. After the riots
democratici del '20-21 e del '48, i Borboni attuano un giro di vite intorno all'istruzione superiore nella capitale, temendo che i giovani studenti potessero essere portatori di idee liberali giudicate pericolose. Nel 1852 il Collegio leccese, ritornato sotto la direzione dei Gesuiti, viene trasformato in Regio Liceo, dove comunque gli studenti non possono ottenere la laurea, che devono discutere presso l'Università di Napoli. Questa situazione rimane immutata fino all'Unità d'Italia.Unità d'Italia che porterà poi all'inabissarsi delle aspettative di istruzione superiore in tutto il meridione d'Italia. Una politica fortemente accentratrice, infatti, che vedeva in Napoli e in tutto il sud il pericolo di una restaurazione Borbonica, e un brake to the cultural growth of the country, led to the suppression of almost all universities and high schools to the exclusion of the possibility of imparting a higher type of education.
The situation of the Lyceum of Lecce, which sees the elimination of all the chairs, then regressing the ability to issue only a secondary education and higher education, reflects the overall situation in the capital city of Otranto, which sees a decrease in population difference the other centers, such as Brindisi, Taranto and Bari.Tuttavia in 1869, thanks to the efforts of the prefect Winspeare, the provincial administration and some intellectuals Lecce, including Pizzolante Vitaliano, Lecce is able to obtain a University of Forensic science, the activities get under way officially on June 18, 1869 in the former monastery of St. Clear. Was elected Rector of Pizzolante Vitaliano, vice chancellor Leonardo Stampacchia. Unfortunately, the University of Lecce adventure will be short lived, and after only two years, the University of Social Sciences will close its doors. Lecce
The situation will not change until after World War II, worse, even after the birth, in the first decade of 1900, the University of Bari, which has as its main cultural center of Puglia. Until the fifties of last century, in fact, all the instances, which became more and more apt for the institution in Lecce di una sede universitaria, venivano regolarmente deluse.Nell'aprile-maggio del 1955 nasce su iniziativa dell'Amministrazione provinciale leccese, un Consorzio universitario, al quale aderiscono oltre alla Provincia di Lecce, altri Enti e quasi tutti i comuni della provincia. Lo scopo del Consorzio è quello di favorire la nascita di un Istituto autonomo di Magistero, a carico del Consorzio, nell'attesa del riconoscimento giuridico nelle forme della parificazione o della statalizzazione.
Il 22 novembre 1955 iniziano le lezioni. Quattro i corsi previsti: Materie letterarie, Pedagogia, Lingue straniere, Vigilanza scolastica.Come abbiamo visto il riconoscimento giuridico arriverà nel 1959, allo scadere dei primi quattro anni di corsi, per permettere students to have a valid and final spendibile.La nationalization will happen eventually in the academic year 1967-68, with the establishment of the third faculty of the Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences. Since its inception the faculty has been strongly oriented toward research in mathematics in mathematics and in physics toward research in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
In 1987 he founded the Faculty of Economics and Banking, Economics and Commerce today that aims to train managers, consultants and corporate lawyers adapting educational provision to the needs of the local economy.
The Faculty of Engineering will be established in the academic 1990/91.L 'overall objective the Faculty is to train skilled professionals to set up, play and manage complex design activities and also to promote and develop innovation.
The Faculty of Languages \u200b\u200bwas established in 1995 as a transformation of the Bachelor of Science in Foreign Languages \u200b\u200band Literatures in the deletion of the Faculty of Education. With its courses of study the Faculty of Arts provides students with the skills necessary for professional scientific work in addition to the school in every grade, publishing, tourism, international relations, in the information.
was created in 1997 the Faculty of Cultural Heritage, whose educational goals require the possession of a good training base and an appropriate range of knowledge and expertise in various areas of cultural heritage, as well as the appropriate expertise on specific legislation and administration, ability to use the main computer and electronic communication in specific areas of expertise.
The same year also established the Faculty of Education which serves as a new reality than the traditional humanities faculty for the provision of training both for what concerns job opportunities.
The Faculty of Law, founded in 1998, is divided into three areas: traditional, administrative and enterprise. The characterization of the curriculum seeks to combine the studies legal system of classical training in innovative content related to the new skills required by the labor market.
from 77 members in 1955, we moved to over 27,000 today. The largest increases in enrollment have occurred at the birth of the Faculty of Economics and MMFFNN. The establishment of other faculties do not, it causes a marked increase in the total number of students because it is part of a general positive trend of growth and because sometimes the courses are pre-existent to the creation of new faculties, as in the case of Lingue.Negli recent years there has been a rapid growth of the University of Salento, both from a standpoint of 'offer formativa che da un punto di vista del numero degli studenti.
