The University of Milan is a public university in Milan, Italy.

The University of Milan was founded in 1924 by merging Accademia Scientifico-Letteraria (Scientific-Literary Academy) since 1861 and Istituti Clinici di Perfezionamento (Clinical Specialisation Institutes) since 1906. There were four schools – Law, Humanities, Medicine, and Natural Sciences.[5]

In the 1960s, the number of people entering Italian universities increased and the University of Milan enrolled more than 60,000 students. In 1998, the University split in two and University of Milan-Bicocca was founded. The University of Insubria was also established in Varese.[5]
