This article gives you a step-by-step guide to start your study adventure in the <em>Bel Paese<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Universities in Italy are ancient and prestigious institutions: the <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.waitaly.net\/en\/bologna-university\/\">University of Bologna<\/a> is the oldest one in Europe and lent its name to the &#8220;Bologna Process,&#8221; which standardized higher education across Europe into three cycles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">3 years of bachelor\u2019s degree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">2 years of master\u2019s degree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">3-4 years of doctoral studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 2024\/2025 academic year, Italian universities continued to attract a significant number of international students. Approximately <strong>32000 international students<\/strong> are currently studying in Italy, drawn by the country&#8217;s <strong>high-quality education<\/strong> system and still <strong>affordable tuition fees<\/strong> (compared to other European countries). On average, tuition fees range from \u20ac900 to \u20ac4000 per year for undergraduate courses, depending on the program and the student&#8217;s financial situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research and select the university and program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for the best program for you, don\u2019t google every university: go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitaly.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universitaly<\/a>\u2019s website. This is the <strong>Italian government portal<\/strong> that collects information about all the public and private universities in the Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website is complete and easy to use. For example, you can filter the results according to the region or the language &#8211; Italian or English &#8211; you want to study in. You can also filter by course of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what you can do on Universitaly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Search for programs taught in Italian or English<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Filter by level (Bachelor&#8217;s, Master&#8217;s, Single-Cycle Degree)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Select courses that require an entry test or don&#8217;t<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Search by region or city using an interactive map of Italy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this fist step, we suggest you make a list of programs you\u2019re interested in and take note of their specific admission requirements and deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pre-register on Universitaly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After selecting your desired course, create an account on the Universitaly website and <strong>pre-register with your chosen university<\/strong>. Even if you have a preferred institution, consider applying to multiple universities to increase your chances of acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that some universities may charge an application fee, while others do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare all the necessary documents for the application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, the admissions office will require the following documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Certificate of secondary education or high school diploma<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Transcript of academic records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Letter of motivation or application essay<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Recommendation letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Cv<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">English\/Italian language certificate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> If your chosen program requires an admission test, you must also provide proof of registration for the TOLC test and submit the results accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Application deadlines for international students typically fall between April and July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verify language proficiency requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many universities require an Italian <strong>language certificate<\/strong>, especially for non-EU citizens residing outside Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For English-taught programs you\u2019ll usually need an IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge certificate at B2 level or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For programs taught in Italian, you may need to pass a B2-level Italian language test or provide a certificate such as CILS or CELI. This could be an excellent opportunity to start studying Italian! Learning a little Italian will be of great help in your daily life and integration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pass the admission test (if required)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you wish to apply for a degree programme with a limited number of places (like medical studies, architecture or engineering), check the specific call for applications on the university&#8217;s website to understand the entry test requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>admission test<\/strong> could be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>National<\/strong> (IMAT test for Medicine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>University-specific<\/strong> (TOLC tests)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TOLC tests can be taken online, while national tests are usually held in person on specific dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you receive the <strong>acceptance letter<\/strong>, you can complete the pre-enrollment on Universitaly for the university that accepted you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply for a student visa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas EU citizens do not require a visa, non-EU citizens must apply for a student visa in order to be able to study in Italy. You can check if you need a student visa on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vistoperitalia.esteri.it\/home\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visa for Italy<\/a> portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If that\u2019s the case, you will have to <strong>visit the Italian consulate<\/strong> in your own Country and present the following documents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Admission letter from the university<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Valid passport<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Proof of sufficient financial resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Health insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Proof of accommodation in Italy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find an accommodation in Italy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be eligible for a student visa you will have to <strong>demonstrate proof of accommodation<\/strong> in Italy for at least the first 1 to 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this moment, you are still outside the Country, and looking for a place to stay can be tricky when you can\u2019t visit the place in person. That is why we advise you to <strong>search only on official websites <\/strong>such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Uniplaces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">HousingAnywhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Erasmus Play<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, always check forums to see if the website or agency you want to rent from has good reviews: be aware of scams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complete the matriculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon arrival in Italy, <strong>finalize your enrollment<\/strong> (matriculation) at the university by presenting original versions of your documents, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Passport and visa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Admission letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Academic records (translated and legalized, if needed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Tax code (Codice Fiscale)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The university will issue your student ID number (matricola) and university email address, officially marking the start of your studies in Italy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arrive in Italy and apply for the study permit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within 8 days of arriving in Italy, non-EU students must apply for a residence permit (<em>Permesso di Soggiorno<\/em>). Visit a post office with a &#8220;Sportello Amico&#8221; and request a <em>Permesso di Soggiorno<\/em> kit. More information can be found in this <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.waitaly.net\/en\/the-residence-permit-for-study-purposes\/\">article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn Italian:<\/strong> even if you&#8217;re going to study in English, acquiring basic Italian language skills will make your <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.waitaly.net\/en\/making-friends-in-italy-international-student\/\">integration<\/a> into the community a lot easier. There are many options to <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.waitaly.net\/en\/study-italian-in-italy\/\">study Italian<\/a> in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Explore scholarships<\/strong>: investigate partial and <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.waitaly.net\/en\/fully-funded-scholarships-in-italy-for-international-students\/\">fully funded scholarships<\/a> offered by Italian universities and regional governments to support your studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stay informed:<\/strong> keep up-to-date with application deadlines and visa procedures, as they may change annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Embarking on your educational journey in Italy is an exciting opportunity.
