Non-EU prospective students residing abroad who want to enroll in one of our Bachelor’s degree Programs taught in Italian must sit a test between September and October. The test could be a non-selective general culture test or a selective admission test, depending on the course. Prospective students from a country where the same course doesn’t require any compulsory admission test are exempted from the general culture test.

The test schedule is still to be defined. We will update the information as soon as possible.

Admitted students can finally proceed to the on-line enrollment registering in the Student Portal (Area Riservata). While enrolling please enter the expiration date of your study visa in the field permit of stay.
