Applicants should be aware that just 50 positions are available for non-EU Students with residency abroad. It is highly recommended to apply as early as possible, also because eligible applicants have to undergo pre-enrollment procedure at the Embassy or Consulate in their country within due date. Early application is also important for candidates applying for scholarships offered by University of Bologna.

After you have been pre-admitted you will have to prepare for enrolment.
If you hold an Italian qualification: starting from the date indicated in the general calendar (see call for applications) through the end of November, you will have to complete the enrolment procedure at the University of Bologna through the website Studenti Online.
