Normale students attend courses at the University of Pisa, but simultaneously follow the School&#8217;s internal courses and conduct research with Normale faculty \u2014 often internationally renowned scientists.

Superiore di Pisa<\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"mh-st\">From Napoleon to two Nobel Prizes: 215 years of absolute excellence in the Palazzo dei Cavalieri of Pisa<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mh-prose\"><pee>The <strong>Scuola Normale Superiore<\/strong> was founded in <strong>1810<\/strong> by decree of <strong>Napoleon Bonaparte<\/strong>, Emperor of the French and King of Italy, with the precise aim of training the best teachers for the new State&#8217;s school system. The palace assigned to the School \u2014 the <strong>Palazzo della Carovana<\/strong>, formerly home to the Order of the Knights of Santo Stefano, with Giorgio Vasari&#8217;s extraordinary frescoed facade \u2014 is one of the most beautiful in Piazza dei Cavalieri, Pisa&#8217;s second most important square.<\/pee><pee>During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Scuola Normale became Italy&#8217;s main nursery for its intellectual elite. The tradition of scientific excellence was consecrated by two Nobel Prizes in Physics: <strong>Carlo Rubbia<\/strong> (1984, for the discovery of the W and Z bosons) and <strong>Giorgio Parisi<\/strong> (2021, for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from the atomic to the planetary scale). Both were Normale alumni.<\/pee><pee>The Scuola Normale now has two campuses: the historic Pisa site (Palazzo della Carovana) and the <strong>Florence site<\/strong> (Villa Il Palmerino and Palazzo Strozzi Sacrati), opened in 2010 for the Humanities Class. This expansion strengthened the Normale&#8217;s presence in the Tuscan academic landscape.<\/pee><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/p>\n<section class=\"mh-card\">\n<div class=\"mh-ey\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"mh-st\">FAQ \u2014 Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa<\/h2>\n<div id=\"mh-faq\">\n<div class=\"mh-faq-item open\"><button class=\"mh-fq\">How does one gain entry to the Scuola Normale Superiore?<span class=\"mh-fa2\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2.5\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"mh-fan\" style=\"max-height:1200px\">\n<div class=\"mh-fai\">Access to the Normale is through an extraordinarily selective national competition: each year thousands of candidates compete for fewer than 100 places. The competition includes written and oral examinations in multiple subjects. Requirements are: a secondary school diploma (for undergraduate entry) or a bachelor&#8217;s degree (for master&#8217;s level). Full competition details are on the sns.it website.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mh-faq-item\"><button class=\"mh-fq\">What does the Normale&#8217;s scholarship include?<span class=\"mh-fa2\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2.5\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"mh-fan\">\n<div class=\"mh-fai\">The Normale&#8217;s scholarship is comprehensive and generous: it includes free meals in the university canteen, free single-room college accommodation, full exemption from university fees and a monthly allowance for personal expenses. The total economic value is estimated at over \u20ac15,000\/year. In return, students must maintain very high academic standards and sit additional examinations beyond ordinary University of Pisa students.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mh-faq-item\"><button class=\"mh-fq\">Can international students access the Scuola Normale?<span class=\"mh-fa2\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2.5\"><polyline points=\"6 9 12 15 18 9\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"mh-fan\">\n<div class=\"mh-fai\">Yes.
