International Students

https://uniupo.it/en/studentinfo/enrolments/international-students

If you are an international student and wish to register or enrol on any Italian university course, you should first refer to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, University and Research regarding the number of available places for each course.

The Ministry distinguishes between different types of “international student”:

  • non-EU students, resident abroad
  • EU students
  • international students with a residency permit in Italy
  • Italian students with academic certification from abroad.

Rules vary according to the type of course you choose: undergraduate degree, Master’s or single-cycle Master’s, a non-Medicine specialisation program, post-grad diploma; Specialist Master’s (I or II level) or an individual module.

Before visiting the Student Services office (Segreteria Studenti), check that you have all the necessary personal paperwork and read the Ministry regulations

Here below you can view and download a table detailing the quotas reserved for international students and, specifically, Chinese students.

If your academic or professional qualification was issued by an institution abroad, we advise you to consult Qualifyme!, the platform for recognition of qualifications awarded abroad.
