Enrolment of International Students

Welcome to UnivAQ! #IChooseUnivAQ
We invite you to visit this link and explore our range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including international degree courses entirely taught in English.
Then, read the instructions below about application and enrolment procedures you’ll have to follow as an international student. You are considered as an international student if, no matter your citizenship, you gained your previous qualification (e.g. Bachelor’s degree granting access to our postgraduate courses) outside Italy.

    For further information about our general entry requirements, you can check

    Italian language test

    Visa

    • Do you need a Visa to study in Italy? Then, you have to pre-enrol on Universitaly! The application procedure is completely web-based. 

    Non-EU students not living in Italy are requested to pre-enrol using the online platform Universitaly, including those who have already gone through UnivAQ pre-selection process. 

    Documents to be uploaded on Universitaly:

    • Passport picture (mandatory)
    • Passport (mandatory)
    • Motivation letter (mandatory)
    • Curriculum vitae (mandatory)
    • Transcript of Records (mandatory)
    • Bachelor Degree Certificate/or temporary substitute certificate(mandatory)
    • Language proficiency certificate level B2 (mandatory)
    • Course description (not mandatory)
    • Reference letter (not mandatory)

    If you have a CIMEA Statement, DOV or Diploma Supplement, please upload it, too. It’s mandatory for enrollment, not for the Universitaly application, but it can be useful to expedite the Visa issue.

    Once your pre-enrolment application has been approved by our university, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Additionally, an admission letter will be issued and enclosed to your pre-enrolment application on Universitaly. After that, you will have to get in contact with the Italian Diplomatic-consular mission for the visa request process. Please note that the university confirmation email and admission letter do not automatically imply that a study visa will be issued to you, as the Diplomatic-consular mission is the sole responsible for the final decision on this matter. 

    The deadline for the pre-enrolment on Universitaly is 31 July 2024.

    • You are sure that you don’t need a visa and you gained your previous qualification in the EU. Then you won’t have to pre-enrol on Universitaly.
    • You don’t know whether or not you need a visa.

    Then visit https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en and check it
    For further information about the enrolment of non-EU citizens, see here.
    If you need support, contact us through Help Point.

     

    Enrolment

    The enrolment process involves two main phases, after the approval on Universitaly, one online and one in person, to be done at the Registrar Office (Segreteria Studenti):

    1) On line step: access to the online Student Information System “Segreteria Virtuale”
    - Register your personal details and your previous school/academic career data
    - Upload your passport (PDF) and a picture (passport format)
    - Select the study course you selected on Universitaly
    - Pay the enrollment fee (first installment 156,00€), after the Visa issue and your arrival in Italy

    2) In presence step: visit the Student Registry office
    - Submit your passport and your Visa, to photocopy them;
    - Submit your residence permit (if you already have it), or a copy of the receipt of the residence permit request;
    - Submit the following documents: your translated and legalized qualifications, including CIMEA statements of comparability, Declaration of Value or Diploma Supplement, depending on the case.

    3) ENROLLING IN AN UNDERGRADUATE COURSE:
    - Final certificate of secondary school (obtained after at least 12 years)
    - CIMEA comparability and verification certificates (to apply for CIMEA click here) OR "Declaration of Value" (DoV) issued by local Diplomatic-consular missions
    - Italian B2 level certificate

    4) ENROLLING IN A POSTGRADUATE COURSE:
    - Final certificate of undergraduate course, Transcript of records in English or in Italian
    - CIMEA comparability and verification certificates (to apply for CIMEA click here) OR "Declaration of Value" (DoV) issued by local Diplomatic-consular missions OR Diploma Supplement in English (if the University issues it)
    - Language proficiency certificate B2 level (Italian or English, depending on the language of the study course)

    Note: the local Diplomatic-consular mission might still require that you obtain a Declaration of Value (DoV) in order to issue your study visa, although our university accepts either CIMEA or DoV. If that is the case, you will have to go through the DoV request process instead of the CIMEA statements.

    Note 2: If the didactic area committee of the course you have chosen has verified the authenticity of the foreign degree produced through direct contacts with the university that issued it, you will find this information on your acceptance letter, and you will not have to produce CIMEA certificates nor DoV nor DS. The Student Secretariat will have received the verification certificate signed by the Rector from the International Relations Office.

    For further information about the other documents required for enrolment, refer to these links:

    Once your personal details and entry requirements are checked, the Student Registry office assigns a matriculation number, which will be sent to your e-mail address. Afterwards, a Student Registration booklet is provided. 
    Deadline for enrolment of international students is: October 31 2024
    Visit https://www.univaq.it/section.php?id=35 for more details.

     

    Italian residence permit

    If you need a visa to stay in Italy, remember that you will also have to apply for an Italian residence permit within 8 days after arriving in our country. A residence permit is indeed required when a foreigner stays in Italy for longer than three months.
