I would like to welcome everyone visiting both our offices in Lugano and our web site, and to wish you all the best for your life and career.
Our University’s goals are listed in the Charter of Principles, in the Charter and Guidelines or in our documents which are at your complete disposal.
The University promotes and supports each sort of cultural exchange, educational and scientific experiences, as well as research projects together with other public or private institutions.
This fruitful cooperation involves young people, women and men of any age without any racial or ideological discrimination.
The University is committing itself in supporting an exchange in terms of knowledge and traditions with European and non-European countries. The objective is to enrich our knowledge and to break down the barriers mainly caused by a lack of awareness about other people’s culture.
On this awareness, the University turns into an effective means of dialogue and comparison, even in presence of ideological conflicts and disagreements.
I hope that the visit you pay to our University will be profitable from a cultural point of view and will offer you good opportunities for the choices that will mark your future.
