Applying
How to get a university offer (admission) letter
From pre-evaluation to acceptance letter: the full process used by most Italian public universities.
Steps
- Shortlist programmes taught in English (see our Universities and Subjects pages).
- Check the call (bando) on the university portal: windows, fee, required documents and CGPA.
- Prepare documents: passport, transcripts, degree certificate, CV (Europass), motivation letter, English certificate / MOI, recommendation letters if required.
- Create an account on the university application portal and submit the pre-evaluation with the application fee.
- Attend an interview if invited (often online).
- Receive the admission / conditional acceptance letter by email or in your portal account.
- Pre-enrol on Universitaly selecting the same programme – the university validates it.
- Use the validated Universitaly summary + offer letter for your visa appointment.
Multiple calls
Most universities run 2–3 (sometimes up to 6) calls. Apply in the first call when possible: places for non-EU students are limited and visa appointments fill fast. Check the live Deadlines page for open calls.
