The Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies of Pisa (Template:Lang-it) is a special-statute public university located in Pisa, Italy, operating in the field of applied sciences.
The Sant'Anna is part of the Pisa University System, together with the Scuola Normale Superiore and the University of Pisa.
It is one of the three officially sanctioned special-statute universities in Italy i.e. it has 'university status', being part of the process of Superior Graduate Schools in Italy or Scuola Superiore Universitaria.[1]
History
The present-day Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is the descendant of several institutions modeled after the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, also known in Italian as Scuola Normale (English: Normal School), is a higher learning institution in Italy. It was founded in 1810, by Napoleonic decree, as a branch of the École Normale Supérieure of Paris. Since its foundation it has operated a highly selective student admission procedure, and its main goal was, during that period, essentially to form the best college. Recognized as a "national university" in 1862, one year after Italian unification, and named during that period as "Normal School of the Kingdom of Italy". As of 1922 until 1943, the philosopher Giovanni Gentile reformed the Scuola, gave it formal autonomy and sought an expansion to other disciplines, with the creation of the Collegio Mussolini per le Scienze Corporative (1931) and the Collegio Nazionale Medico (1932). The new colleges were later merged in the Collegio Medico-Giuridico, which continued to operate (in the fields of law and medicine) under the jurisdiction of the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
The present structure of the School was established in 1967 (as the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento) by merging the Scuola per le Scienze Applicate A. Pacinotti (founded in 1951) and the Collegio Medico-Giuridico. The new institution, while still committed to the model established by the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, was administered by the University of Pisa. In 1987 the School acquired complete independence (Law of 14 February 1987, No.41) [8] [9] and maintains strong ties with both the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and the University of Pisa creating the Pisa University System.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
Sant'Anna replaced Antonio Pacinotti in 1987, when the School gained its current headquarters. The present-day site is acquired from a very ancient religious educational establishment. The Sant'Anna Church and Convent were established in 1406, while the church was finished in 1426, by the Order of the Benedictine Nuns. In 1785 was instituted the Conservatorio di Sant'Anna by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany - Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor, as a consequence of abolition of the religious orders due to Leopold's reforms the convent was suppressed in 1786 and continued to exist as a Conservatorio di Sant'Anna, an educational institution later under the tutelage of the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Italy and the Italian Republic. In 1987 the the Benedictine Nuns dedicated the Sant'Anna Church and Convent to the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento (previously the famous Collegio Medico-Giuridico of Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa), provided that the School caries the name of Sant'Anna.[16][17][18][19][20][21]
Nowadays, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and the University of Pisa create the Pisa University System.
Organization
Students are admitted after passing a public national and international competitions. Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies offers to those who decide to take excellence, a multi-disciplinary approach to learning, research and internationalization. The sectors and fields in which the institution specializes are the fallowing:
Social Sciences Class
- Business Sciences,
- Economic Sciences,
- Legal Sciences
- Political Sciences
Experimental Sciences Class
- Agricultural Sciences ,

Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is part of the European University Association (EUA).
Committed to excellence
As for its statute, the aims of Sant'Anna school of advanced studies are:
- To promote the development of culture, scientific and technological research, and innovation;
- To offer quality undergraduate, graduate and continuing education;
- To ensure high-quality studies through the ongoing interectation of research and instruction.
The mission of the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies is to pave innovative pathways in education and research, responding to the modernization and innovation of society itself. This mission is pursued through the valorization of the autonomy and flexibility that characterize the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and that derive from its status as an autonomous university by special statute, operating in the field of applied sciences.
The Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies has adopted three principles that constitute the foundation of its mission. Excellence in education, research and in every other activity, ensured by rigorous selection criteria for entering students; by attracting teachers and researchers of high scientific stature; by the elevated quality of facilities and services, thanks to the professionalism of the technical and administrative personnel.
Interdisciplinarity as a cultural and methodological premise for addressing the complex problems of today’s scientific and social realities.
Internationalization, understood as a propensity to cultivate relationships with other institutions at the international level; as an awareness of the problems of education and of cultural growth faced by young people from emerging countries.
Undergraduate
Potential under graduates undergo a rigorous public examination, and only the very best are creamed off to combine their Pisa University studies with the extra options available at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, thus these students are called Honors College Students. Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna is also integrated with the Scuola Normale Superiore and Honors College Students are free to attend courses provided by departments other than their own, as well as those provided by the Scuola Normale Superiore.[22]
As of 2007[update], 42 freshmen are admitted per year. The School offers all of its services free of charge; students also receive a small monthly income. While attending the Pisa University courses, the Honors College Students (allievi) live in the school's college. Students have to achieve a high average grade in university exams and attend internal courses (including 2 foreign language classes) taught by professors and researchers working at the School, both as an integration and as an extension to the regular academic schedule.[23]
Sant'Anna Alumni Association, is headed by former Prime Minister of Italy Giuliano Amato.
