<\/a>Faculties:<\/h2>\nArchitecture<\/span><\/h3>\nWith forty lecturers and twenty-five design studios, the\u00a0Accademia di architettura\u00a0trains an overall of 764 students for 3-year Bachelor and 2-year Master’s degrees (2013).<\/p>\n
Economics<\/span><\/h3>\n1076 students (2013). Main research and teaching topics include:\u00a0Banking,\u00a0Finance,\u00a0Management, Economics and International Policies, Financial Communication,\u00a0Marketing.<\/p>\n
Communication sciences<\/span><\/h3>\n871 students (2013). Topics of research and teaching include Media, new media and\u00a0journalism,\u00a0Marketing,\u00a0Corporate Communication, Public communication, Healthcare communication,\u00a0Information and communication technologies,\u00a0Education\u00a0and\u00a0Tourism.<\/p>\n
Informatics<\/span><\/h3>\nThe Faculty of Informatics at Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana performs world-class research in many areas of informatics. With its award-winning, innovative curriculum, the Faculty aims to train informatics experts who are interdisciplinary in approach, with abstract thinking and generalization skills, a sound knowledge in the application fields of information technologies, as well as project-management and teamwork abilities.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Institute of Computational Science<\/b>\u00a0(ICS), a research unit of the Faculty, was founded in 2008 and is directed by Professor Rolf Krause. The Institute is the result of the vision of USI to become a new scientific and educational centre for\u00a0Computational Science\u00a0in\u00a0Switzerland. The Institute offers research and teaching in\u00a0Mathematical Modeling,\u00a0Numerical Simulation, and\u00a0High Performance Computing. The ICS hosts seven research groups which focus on\u00a0advanced computing\u00a0in computational science, high-performance methods for numerical simulation in\u00a0science,\u00a0medicine\u00a0and\u00a0engineering, computational\u00a0time series analysis, computational\u00a0shape analysis,\u00a0multiscale\u00a0and\u00a0multiphysics\u00a0models in\u00a0computational biology, computational modeling of cardiac\u00a0electrophysiology, and the simulation of\u00a0biological\u00a0and\u00a0physical\u00a0systems. The\u00a0Computational Science\u00a0Master of Science\u00a0graduate program at the ICS emphasizes a\u00a0mathematical\u00a0and\u00a0methodological\u00a0framework as well as an application-oriented education in\u00a0Informatics\u00a0and\u00a0Software Engineering.<\/p>\nBiomedical Sciences<\/span><\/h3>\nThe Faculty of Biomedical Sciences at USI was established in 2014, with the purpose to make a contribution towards the solution of an important problem in Switzerland: the dearth of physicians trained in Switzerland. The new Faculty offers a Master’s degree in Medicine (3-year curriculum), starting in 2020, in close collaboration with ETH Zurich, University of Basel and University of Zurich on the academic side, and with the\u00a0Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale<\/i>\u00a0(EOC) and private clinics in Ticino for bedside teaching.<\/p>\nCampus and student life<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Lugano campus developed around the existing city hospital circa 1996. Several state-of-the-art buildings have been added, most notably Informatics (2007), Aula Magna, Aule, Library, and LAB. The main building consists of four floors containing: Communications and Economics offices (1-3), the Executive Centre, four computer labs (1), classrooms (1-3), the cafeteria (2)(Q1-2007), and third-floor auditorium (3)(Q3-2007). The library is four floors tall. The LAB has 5 floors, in great part occupied by the Institute of Computational Sciences, and the rest by other Communication Sciences and Informatics departments.<\/p>\n
