16.04.2025
The University of Padua has recently approved an educational offering that includes 138 master's programmes and 27 advanced courses, commencing in November 2025. The new offering includes 32 additional master's programmes, bringing the total to 138, of which 58 are first-level and 80 are second-level, compared to 130 the previous year. Advanced courses also see a significant increase, with 8 new courses bringing the total to 27, compared to 22 last year.
Among the new additions to the educational offering are master's programmes ranging from the study of exotic, wild, and zoo animals to robotic surgery, from educational, digital, and multimedia innovation to the prevention of violence in childhood and adolescence. As for the advanced courses, notable mentions include clinical and community ethnopsychology and international business.
The increase in the educational offering has attracted a growing number of enrolments for the current academic year, reaching 3,463 students between master's programmes (2,935) and advanced courses (428), marking a 15.4% increase compared to the previous year. To give an idea of the magnitude of this growth, in 2019, master's programmes had 1,283 enrolments, thus recording a 129% increase in students over the recent years.
"The increasing numbers reward both the attention to the multidisciplinary nature of our educational offering, which is increasingly diversified and focused on the needs of the territory and the productive and social world, as well as the attractiveness of master's programmes and advanced courses," explains Marta Ghisi, delegate for master's programmes and advanced courses. "These results are the fruit of the competent and passionate work of directors and lecturers of the master's programmes and advanced courses, and the fundamental support of the postgraduate office. And there is an aspect to underline: the master's programmes at the University of Padua portray an encouraging reality, 61.3% of attendees have both parents who are not graduates. Therefore, we are witnessing the phenomenon of social and cultural mobility, which I hope will strengthen more and more over time".
The attractiveness of the university is further demonstrated by the high percentage, 67.5%, of students coming from other Italian or foreign universities who, at the end of their studies, express satisfaction with their university experience. According to the latest Almalaurea data, in fact, one year after completing the attended master's programme, 86.2% would enrol again in the same master's programme or another one at our university. "We are attractive on entry and maintain expectations on exit," comments Marta Ghisi.
