The Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italian Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, UNIVE) is an Italian university. It takes its Venetian name from the university building, the Ca' Foscari (the Foscari house or palace), on the Grand Canal, between the Rialto and San Marco. This palace was the seat of the Royal Higher Commercial College, founded on August 6 1868 as Italy's first higher education institute to deal with economics and commerce. The idea of establishing such a school arose after the annexation of the Veneto to Italy in 1866, and was particularly promoted by Luigi Luzzatti. The College was the first institute of its kind to have as its primary objective the training of businessmen, but also to serve as a training college for secondary school teachers of commercial subjects.

The institute became a university in 1968. It currently has four faculties. The University has around 10,000 students, and is also known as simply Università Ca' Foscari.

Organization

These are the 4 faculties in which the university is divided into:
