Before you apply
How to contact Italian universities
Who to email, what to write and how to get a quick reply from admissions offices.
Who to contact
- International admissions / International Office – for application, documents and offer letter questions.
- Programme coordinator (Course Secretary) – for subject-specific requirements.
- Welcome Office / Student Services – for housing, codice fiscale and permit of stay help.
- DSU / Regional scholarship office – for scholarship and accommodation questions.
Tips
- Find addresses on the 'International students' or 'Admissions' page of the university website.
- Use one clear subject line: 'Admission enquiry – MSc Data Science – Applicant from Bangladesh'.
- Write in English, short paragraphs, attach your CV only if asked.
- Wait 5–7 working days before a polite follow-up. Many offices also offer online helpdesk tickets or Zoom office hours – these are usually faster than email.
