Non European citizens.
The registration
procedure for the pre-enrolment at Italian university degree
programmes for non-European students is handled by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. The pre-enrolment has to be done in your
country at the Italian
representative authority (usually the Italian embassy or
consulate), which also translates and certifies your
qualifications. On the pre-enrolment application, applicants must
indicate one university degree only and the university which they
intend to apply to. Detailed and up to date information can be found
at the Ministry
site for foreign students (English version coming soon), and at
the Faculty
site for foreign students' pre-enrolment; the University has
prepared a
general guide for foreign students' pre-enrolment (note that the
general guide does not consider the specificity of this European
Master). If you plan to pre-enrol in our Faculty, our suggestion is to
prepare the necessary documents well in advance, as admission
procedures can be very complicated and time-consuming.
