Those who choose to enroll in the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences are not satisfied with staying on the surface: they prefer to get to the bottom of things.
Claudio Giannetti
The desire and passion to understand and study more in depth reality are the fundamental characteristics of this Faculty and of those who choose to be part of it, embarking on a rather demanding path full of stimuli and opportunities.

Those who choose to enrol in the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences at Università Cattolica are not satisfied with observing the world: they want to really understand it, to the fullest, and experience an exciting scientific journey.
Curiosity, a passion for knowledge and the desire to go beyond appearances are the characteristics that distinguish our students.
For them, the Faculty offers an international educational perspective and the opportunity to live study and research experiences in some of the best European and non-European universities.
The increasingly close connection with the worlds of research and work makes this path even more stimulating: it is designed for those who not only love numbers, formulas and theorems, but also want to understand - as Niccolò Tartaglia, the great Brescian mathematician of the XVI century, did - that mathematics, physics and computer science can become a powerful tool for interpreting the reality surrounding us.
Mathematics, physics and computer science are not just theoretical disciplines: since ancient times they have contributed to human progress and they keep on generating innovation and concrete applications in increasingly vast fields – from medicine to biology, from economics to environmental protection – thanks also to the extraordinary progress of artificial intelligence. Studying such disciplines at Università Cattolica means entering a context of cutting-edge research.
The Faculty houses a Department and several Research Centres active in frontier sectors – from the environment to innovative nanostructured materials, from quantum technologies to mathematical modelling applied to business – thus offering the possibility of combining theory and practice in a concrete and innovative way.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so we can fear less.
Marie Curie, Nobel Prize laureate in Physics and Chemistry
I believe that the contemporary university, while it has the duty to contribute to the advancement of the sciences and to follow the methodology required by each of them, must never put in second place what is required for the recognition of its primacy, namely man, the human person, the world of spirituality.
