In order to gain admission to any unibz study programme, languages are the first requirement you need to fulfil. Check the specific language requirements on the programmes’ pages and upload a recognised language certificate or enrol in a language exam at unibz.

You need to have a qualification that is equivalent to the Italian secondary school diploma and that has been or will be obtained at the end of at least 12 years of secondary education. If the length of your secondary education cycle is less than 12 years, then the regulations set by the Italian Ministry of University and Research apply.

If in the country which has issued your qualification an aptitude test is required to gain access to higher education, you will need to include the results of that test when applying to our University. For some qualifications (e.g. UK and Greek qualifications), the Italian Ministry of University and Research has set specific admission criteria.

Based on if the country that issued your qualification is a signatory of the Lisbon Convention or not, you will either have to provide a Statement of Correspondence which you can download free-of-charge from the ARDI (Automatic Recognition Database - Italy), or have to provide a Statement of Comparability and a Statement of Verification issued by the Italian Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalence (CIMEA) to prove that your qualification gives you access to the Italian higher education system.

Get in touch with our Advisory Service if you have any question.

You can check which qualifications are required for admission in the page of the master programme in which you are interested. You can apply with a Diploma Supplement issued by your home university.

If you don't have a Diploma Supplement, based on if the country that issued your qualification is a signatory of the Lisbon Convention or not, you will either have to provide a Statement of Correspondence which you can download free-of-charge from the ARDI (Automatic Recognition Database - Italy), or have to provide a Statement of Comparability and a Statement of Verification issued by the Italian Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalence (CIMEA) to prove that your qualification gives you access to the Italian higher education system.

Students can apply for an income-based study grant to the Ufficio per il diritto allo studio universitario. The grants vary between €1,680 and €6,960 per year. If students obtain a study grant, they will also get a refund of the tuition fees. The student association sh.asus helps students with the application for this type of scholarship.

Those who, after the first year, get an average grade of 27/30 for their exams, are eligible to apply for scholarships based on merit rather than income.

Italian students living abroad can also apply for scholarships funded by the Ministero degli Affari Esteri (MAE, the Italian Foreign Office).
