Art. 3. Pre-enrolment of non-EU students

 

Non-EU students interested in the Master’s degree in International Relations are required to fill the “pre-enrolment application” on the UNIVERSITALY website (https://www.universitaly.it).

Documents to upload in the Universitaly application are:

  • Passport;

  • Bachelor’s degree certificate or university enrollment certificate, if the Bachelor’s degree is not yet completed;

  • Transcript of Records (ToR) including the list of the exams and their grades;

  • Additional documents (description of the degree programme, language certificates, motivation letter, letter(s) of recommendation…)

  • Pre-acceptance letter if the candidate has already obtained it from the Coordinator of the Course.

 

In case of a positive outcome of their preliminary assessment, candidates will have to get in touch with the competent Italian Consulate/Embassy in their Country for the administrative process required to obtain the entry visa and to validate their degree in Italy.

The pre-enrolment procedure does not guarantee any right to obtain a visa for study purposes, which the Italian Embassy/Consulate will only issue after the necessary checks have been carried out, and it does
not imply any right to the subsequent enrolment, which will only be finalised once the relevant administrative steps have been completed.

If the degree certificate is not written in English, French or Spanish, applicants must attach to the submitted documentation an official translation of the degree certificate in Italian;
