托斯卡纳的锡耶纳大学是意大利最古老的大学之一
这所大学成立于1240年，在20世纪经历了大规模的扩张，从世界大战期间的400名学生发展到现在的约20000名学生
随着学生人数的增加，学院的数量也在增加，从最初的医学、外科和法律专业发展到15个学部的广泛多样的学术组合。课程以意大利语或英语授课，暑期学校面向专业人士和希望在许多领域发展特定知识的学生
该大学的大部分都坐落在经过翻新的历史建筑中，如工程、人文和社会科学系，这些系使用的房间曾是圣尼科洛精神病医院的房间。同样，几十年前，圣基亚拉修道院（Convent of Santa Chiara）被改造为意大利第一所为研究生提供住宿的学院，如今，这里是锡耶纳大学（University of Siena）的创新实验室所在地
锡耶纳鼓励学生抓住提供的各种行业经验机会，实践工作经验融入大多数学位课程
随着大学的发展，在市中心建造了新的场地，其建筑风格与周围的历史建筑保持一致
学生在锡耶纳总人口中占很大比例，给这座城市带来了年轻、充满活力的感觉。2012年，《共和国报》将锡耶纳列为意大利大学中服务、拨款和国际化程度最高的大学
锡耶纳位于美丽的托斯卡纳乡村的中心，拥有与佛罗伦萨、罗马、米兰、那不勒斯和其他主要城市的良好交通连接。它也是意大利游客较少的地区之一，这意味着学生可以真正沉浸在当地文化中。此外，该大学还与国内外知名学者、知识分子和艺术家一起举办了许多文化活动
The University of Siena in Tuscany is one of the oldest universities in Italy.
Founded in 1240, the university underwent massive expansion in the 20th century, growing from a cohort of 400 students between the World Wars, to its current one of around 20,000-strong.
The number of faculties increased alongside student numbers, evolving from an original offering of medicine, surgery and law to a broad and diverse academic portfolio across 15 academic departments. Courses are taught in either Italian or English, and summer schools exist for professionals and students looking to develop their specific knowledge in many fields.
Much of the university is sited in renovated historical buildings, such as the departments of engineering, humanities and social sciences which use rooms in what was once the San Niccolò Psychiatric Hospital. Similarly, the former Convent of Santa Chiara, transformed to decades ago to create the first collegiate accommodation in Italy for the postgraduate students, hosts today the innovation lab of the University of Siena.
Students at Siena are encouraged to take up the various opportunities for industry experience on offer and practical work experience is integrated into most degree courses.
As the university has grown, new sites have been built within the city centre, their architectural style in keeping with the historic architecture that surrounds them.
Students make up a large proportion of the total population of Siena, lending the city a young, dynamic feel. In 2012 the newspaper La Repubblica placed Siena first among Italian universities in terms of services, grants, and internationalisation.
Located in the heart of the beautiful Tuscan countryside, Siena boasts excellent transport links with Florence, Rome, Milan, Naples and other major cities. It is also one of the less touristy parts of Italy, meaning that students can truly immerse themselves in the local culture. Besides, the university offers a lot of cultural occasions with well known national and international academics, intellectuals and artists.
