Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina

The Federal University of Santa Catarina (Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, UFSC) is a public federal university headquartered in Florianópolis, the island capital of Santa Catarina state in southern Brazil, and its QS profile counts it among the best universities in Brazil and in Latin America.圣卡塔琳娜联邦大学（葡萄牙语Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina，简称UFSC）是巴西一所公立联邦大学，校部设在巴西南部圣卡塔琳娜州的海岛首府弗洛里亚诺波利斯，QS校情页将其列为巴西与拉丁美洲最佳大学之一。

Its roots lie in the Polytechnic Institute founded on 13 March 1917, it became the University of Santa Catarina on 18 December 1960, the 1961 land grant began the physical university at Trindade, and the national reform of 15 July 1968 federalised it and rebuilt it around academic centres and departments.其源头可追溯至1917年3月13日创建的理工学院，1960年12月18日成立圣卡塔琳娜大学，1961年的用地划拨开启了特林达德实体校园的建设，1968年7月15日的全国性改革则将其收归联邦并按中心与学系重建。

History

• The history of the institution begins with the Polytechnic Institute of Florianópolis, founded on 13 March 1917 by the engineer and civic leader José Arthur Boiteux.校史始于1917年3月13日由工程师、社会活动家热塞·阿图尔·布瓦特什（José Arthur Boiteux）创办的弗洛里亚诺波利斯理工学院。

• Organised as a free institute outside the formal university system, it became the first college-degree institution in the state of Santa Catarina, filling what had been a blank in local higher learning before 1917.这所学院以体制外自由办学形态组建，成为圣卡塔琳娜州第一所提供大学学位教育的机构，填补了1917年之前本地学位教育的空白。

• On 11 February 1932 the Law School was incorporated alongside the institute, adding the state's first recognised legal faculty to its curriculum.1932年2月11日法律学院并入理工学院，为课程增添了全州第一所获承认的法学机构。

• The law faculty won official recognition in 1935, a date the university cites as the true starting line of its oldest department, and the Law School remains the oldest academic unit of today's UFSC.法律学院于1935年获官方正式承认，校方将此视为最古老学系的真正起点，法律学院至今仍是UFSC资历最深的学术单元。

• Impetus from the 1935 recognition fed a sustained campaign, pursued through the 1930s and 1940s, to found the first genuine state university in Santa Catarina.1935年的正式承认带来持续动力，整个1930年代至1940年代，创办圣卡塔琳娜州第一所真正州立大学的活动未曾中断。

• That campaign culminated on 18 December 1960, when the University of Santa Catarina was constituted, the first step toward the present institution and a charter that finally gave Santa Catarina the comprehensive university the 1930s campaign had demanded.这一努力在1960年12月18日结出成果，圣卡塔琳娜大学宣告组建，成为今日大学的第一阶段，也让1930年代的要求终落为整所综合大学。

• The new university opened with seven courses, Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Philosophy, Economics, Social Service and Industrial Engineering, an applied mix for a developing coastal state.新建大学初设法律、医学、药学、哲学、经济、社会工作与工业工程七个学课，契合沿海新兴州的实用需求。

• In 1961 the institution secured a new site for its permanent structures in the Trindade area near downtown Florianópolis.1961年学校在紧邻市中心的特林达德（Trindade）地带取得新的建设用地，用以营建永久校舍。

• The chosen ground, the former Assis Brasil model farm, lay close to the coast with several streams running across what became the campus.选定用地原为阿西斯-巴西尔示范农场，地近海岸，数条溪流横贯后来的校园。

• On 15 July 1968, as part of the Brazilian government's reform of higher education, the leading universities were reorganised and UFSC was federalised in place of the state university, placing its maintenance with the federal Ministry of Education rather than the state government.1968年7月15日，巴西政府推行高等教育改革，全国主要大学按新体制重组，圣卡塔琳娜大学由此升格为联邦大学，主管经费由州府改归联邦教育部。

• The 1968 reform replaced the old faculty pattern with centres and departments modelled on American and British practice, a structure UFSC still keeps.1968年改革以仿照英美做法的中心与学系制取代旧学院制，UFSC至今沿用这一架构。

• Relocation to the Trindade grounds was executed in stages and only finished in 1980, nearly two decades after the first 1961 works.迁建特林达德工程分阶段实施，直至1980年才全部完成，距1961年首期动工已近二十年。

• Between 1980 and 1989 the young federal university invested heavily in expanding graduate programmes and research capacity, turning a teaching-centred school into a graduate-degree-producing institution within one decade.1980年至1989年间，这所年轻的联邦大学大量投入研究生教育与科研能力建设，十年之内由教学型学校转为批量授予高级学位的研究型大学。

• Through the 1980-1990 decade it also backed the creation of technology schools across the state of Santa Catarina and launched community outreach projects.在1980至1990年代，学校还支持在全州兴办技术学校，并启动多项面向社区的推广项目。

• The Brazilian constitution of 1988 underwrote the autonomy of the federal universities, framing teaching, research and extension as the trio of duties that secures UFSC's self-governance.1988年巴西宪法确立联邦大学自治，把教学、科研与社会推广并列为联邦大学的三重使命，也奠定了UFSC自主治理的宪制基础。

• By 2016 the university had grown beyond the capital, operating campuses at Araranguá, Blumenau, Curitibanos and Joinville as well as Florianópolis.至2016年学校已超出首府办学，在阿拉朗瓜、布鲁梅瑙、库里蒂巴诺斯、茹因维利与弗洛里亚诺波利斯设有五个校区。

• The institution marked its sixtieth founding anniversary on 18 December 2020, dating the university itself from the 1960 act.2020年12月18日学校庆祝创校六十周年，以1960年建校法令为正式纪年起点。

• UFSC has remained the only federal university in the state of Santa Catarina, a monopoly position in public research education.UFSC始终是圣卡塔琳娜州唯一的联邦大学，在该州公立研究型教育中占据独有地位。

• Its Latin motto, Ars et Scientia, glossed as Art and Science, frames the combination of professional training and research that the reform era demanded.其拉丁校训「Ars et Scientia」意为艺术与科学，正是改革年代对专业训练与科学研究并重的写照。

• After 1968 the new academic centros replaced the earlier schools and gradually took the eleven-centre form the university operates today.1968年后新建的学术中心（centros）逐步取代原有学院，演化为今日运行的十一个中心格局。

• The 1960 charter gathered the formally recognised Law School of 1932 together with the institute's engineering teaching under a single university statute, ending the era of separately founded schools.1960年的建校安排把1932年获正式承认的法律学院与理工学院旧有的工程教学纳入同一大学建制，分立办学的创始时代由此结束。

• The structure of UFSC comprises 11 academic centres, each a grouping by field of study, and every centre is subdivided into departments.UFSC由11个按学科划分的学术中心构成，每个中心之下再分设若干学系。

• Trindade lies between the downtown core and the international airport, keeping the seat of the university within the island city.特林达德地处旧城中心与国际机场之间，大学本部因此留在海岛城区之内。

• The grounds descend toward the coast with several streams crossing the site, a hydrology inherited from the old Assis Brasil model farm.园区地势朝海岸缓降，数条溪流穿地而过，其水系格局承自旧日的阿西斯-巴西尔示范农场。
