WHAT DOCUMENTS DO YOU NEED?
Before applying to a university in Italy, you will first need to check if your qualifications are considered eligible for higher education studies:
 

• Check the tuition fees and living costs. Cities in Italy might be beautiful but can be pretty expensive depending on the limits of your budget.
• Contact the university you are interested in and ask for a prior assessment.
• The university will give you feedback regarding your eligibility; if you meet the admission requirements, you must submit a pre-application request to the Italian embassy or consulate in your area.
• The Italian embassy or consulate will submit your application and documents to the Italian higher education institution you choose to apply to.
• The Italian embassy or consulate publishes a list of admitted candidates at the end of August.
• Remember to look for scholarship opportunities in Italy. You can also check out the Studyportals Scholarship to get some help financing your studies abroad.

 
ANY TIPS?
 Admitted students are usually ranked based on their grade point average (G.P.A.) from previous studies. Check with your favourite universities and see the minimum G.P.A. you need to obtain to qualify for the degree you wish to study.
 
You may have to attend specific admission exams for certain specialised fields of study, such as:
 

• Medicine  
• Architecture 
• Engineering  

 
DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR APPLICATION
 

• Identity document
• Passport type photograph
• Academic transcript
• University application form
• Detailed study programmes/course description (must contain the number of hours of the courses or training activities that you have completed according to your academic curriculum)
• CV

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION PROCESS?
 Studying in Italy means a few extra steps after the application process:
 

• Apply for a student visa if you need one (mainly students from non-EU/EEA countries).
• Apply for a residence permit by registering with the local police (Questura) within eight working days of your arrival in Italy.
• Prepare a health insurance plan that covers at least 30,000 EUR. E.U. citizens holding a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) have access to the same medical services as the Italian citizens. Both EU (without an EHIC) and non-EU citizens can either pay for a health insurance policy from their home country before they depart for Italy or purchase one as soon as possible after their arrival. They can also subscribe to the Italian National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale - S.S.N.).
• Students must officially enrol in the university after arriving in Italy before starting their classes.
