Overview

Description

The ‘Libera Università Maria SS. Assunta’ (LUMSA) arose out of the transformation of the previous University Institute which had been established by the RD of 26 October 1939, n. 1760, and subsequent modifications. The studies that are carried out at LUMSA, and the qualifications that are conferred by it, are given official legal value on a level with the corresponding qualifications conferred by state universities.
LUMSA has autonomy at the level of teaching, administration, organisation and self-regulation within the parameters established by law.
Control by the state of LUMSA is carried out by the Ministry for Education, Universities and Research.

The Aims of LUMSA as an Institution

The aims of LUMSA are:

* To contribute to the development of scientific research and the development of studies.
* To prepare young people for an informed and knowledgeable integration into the world of work, with special emphasis on teaching, joining public administrations, institutional activities, and the free professions, ensuring that theoretical instruction is accompanied by suitable technical-practical knowledge.
* To foster qualified cultural, scientific and technical education based upon a humanistic conception of contemporary life.
* To promote the overall education of the person in conformity with the Christian principles of the Catholic tradition.
