It serves one of the most industrialised provinces in Italy, and its character reflects that setting: engineering, medicine and economics dominate. The university has around 16,000 students and eight departments, covering civil, environmental, mechanical, industrial and information engineering, medical and surgical specialties, molecular and translational medicine, economics and management, and law. Its research has particular strength in mechanical and materials engineering, telecommunications and information technology, public health and infectious disease, and clinical and translational medicine carried out with the ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia, one of the largest hospitals in Italy.
