International degree-seeking students

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS is a university service aimed at providing international students with all the information they need to study at the University of Verona.
You are an “International student” if you hold a foreign university degree (or equivalent qualification) and you are not an italian citizen. Please note: in order to apply successfully to any Italian university you will need to have completed at least 12 years of school.

Applications for the academic year 2022/2023

• For International Master’s degree programmes: students holding a foreign degree (both EU and non-EU citizens) can apply for pre-admission and for the awarding of 50 students support and benefits: the call for application is open from 2 February to 16 March 2022.
• For other Master's and Bachelor’s degree programmes: please go to Students from abroad
• If you’d like to attend individual modules and take the corresponding exams without having to enrol in a specific degree programme, please go to Enrolment in individual modules

Non-EU students holding a valid Italian study permit will be allowed to take the admission tests in order to enrol in one of the University’s programmes under the same terms and conditions as the EU citizens, and they will be included in the same ranking list

BEFORE LEAVING FOR ITALY you will need to carry out the pre-enrolment procedures through the Universitaly dashboard. Please note: you can only indicate one preference, i.e. only one degree programme at one university (each programme has a number of available places for non-EU citizens). This online procedure will allow you both to pre-register and to request a study visa at once. As the pre-enrolment procedure is already available on the Universitaly dashboard, we suggest applicants to register and apply as soon as possibile in order to speed up the visa issuing process.It is mandatory that students register and complete their application before the deadline indicated in the Call for admissions to the BA/MA Courses with entry test. For all other Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, the application must be submitted in the Universitaly portal within the deadline indicated by the Italian Ministry for University and Research.
