Admissions
Information about admissions for academic year 2023/24 will be published approximately from February/ March 2023 on this webpge. In the meantime, for information purposes, we encourage you to have a look at the previous “Call for applications” still available in attachment.
In order to be admitted, an English proficiency certificate no lower than B2 level (for instance, IELTS or TOEFL) will be required.
Once admitted to the Degree, eligible non-EU applicants will have to carry out the Embassy’s pre-enrollment procedure, get the Declaration of Value and eventually study-related VISA. Such a procedure is now carried out on the portal Universitaly, abiding by the rules, regulations and deadlines set forth every year on the Ministerial Circular Note (a.y. 2022/23 in attachment).
