Once you have sent the application, you should upload the required attachments in the portal. If uploading is not possible, documents can be submitted to the Student secretariat via email or handed in personally.

In addition to language certification and admission requirements, you must go through a selection procedure in order to access the course.

| DOSSIER |
Study Curriculum
Final marks of the third last year and penultimate year of secondary school must be self-declared in the online application form.
In that event that self-declared years were concluded abroad, a copy of the relevant school report cards must be uploaded in the portal (for countries other than Austria or Germany, a document with the range of grades containing the lowest pass mark and the highest mark achievable has to be attached). |
Official translation of the report card
Official translation of your school report cards into Italian, German or English if needed. |
Personal Statement Letter
A personal statement letter not longer than one side of typed A4, written in English, Italian or German, in which you explain why you would like to enrol for this degree programme. |
| Language requirements: see information about language exams. |
If you have qualifications from abroad you must also deliver – at the latest upon enrolment – the original
declaration of equivalent value, together with the original or an authenticated copy of your secondary school certificate and an official translation into Italian. The declaration of equivalent value is issued by the Italian consulate or embassy abroad and confirms that your qualification would grant you entry to a similar university course in the country in which the qualifications were achieved. The declaration must be applied for as soon as possible since it can often require long processing times.
Non-EU candidates with valid permit to stay for Italy (see article 39, paragraph 5 of decree no. 286 of 25.07.1998,) apply directly to the University, as described above. In this case, you must submit a copy of your valid permit to stay for Italy ("
permesso di soggiorno" for work, family reasons, political or humanitarian asylum, religious reasons). A permit of stay for study reasons, or a visa for tourism, is not sufficient. If the permit deadline has expired, a renewal request must also be attached.
NB: if you do not provide the permit for one reason or another, you will be automatically considered a non-EU citizen living abroad and therefore subject to the admission procedure through the Italian authorities acting in your country of origin.
If you are a non-EU candidate resident abroad, you must carry out the enrolment procedures both through the Italian authorities (consulate or embassy) in the country in which you obtained or are to obtain your academic qualifications
and directly with the university. The deadlines imposed by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (
www.study-in-italy.it) must be respected. Should you not follow this procedure with your local Italian consulate, the application that you delivered direct to the university will be declared null and void. The Italian authorities abroad are the only ones able to accept and send applications to the university.
Please note that non EU-citizens resident abroad can apply for one course only!
Before enrolment NON-EU citizens resident abroad have to prove their (basic) knowledge of Italian. The Italian Ministry of Education fixes the date for this
compulsory Italian language exam, for information see
Study in Italy and
this page. The exam is held at the
Language Centre of the Free University of Bolzano; please contact them for more information:
