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 either have been awarded the Italian secondary school diploma (or be in the process of obtaining it), or have a qualification that is equivalent to it 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 US qualifications), the Italian Ministry of University and Research has set specific admission criteria.

If you have a foreign secondary school qualification, during enrolment you need to upload these documents:

• your secondary school diploma
• an official translation of the diploma into Italian (not necessary for diplomas issued in German or English)

Depending on the foreign education system your qualification belongs to, you must also upload:

a) non-EU countries that are signatories to the Lisbon Convention:

• Statement of Correspondence of your secondary school diploma, to be downloaded from the ARDI – Automatic Recognition Database – Italy and
• Statement of Verification of your secondary school diploma, issued by the Italian Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalence (CIMEA)

b) non-EU countries that are not signatories of the Lisbon Convention:

• Statement of Comparability of your secondary school diploma, issued by the Italian Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalences (CIMEA) and
• Statement of Verification of your secondary school diploma, 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.

1. Apply online, following the guidelines detailed at the end of programme's page.
2. If you see your name in the list of the admitted students, pay the first instalment of the tuition fees to secure your admission.

4. Enrol and come to South Tyrol in time for the new semester start.

After you have enrolled, you will need to follow a few steps in order to organise your life in South Tyrol.

Students can apply for an income-based study grant to the Ufficio per il diritto allo studio universitario after one year of regular residence in South Tyrol. These income-based study 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 grant.

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.
