are-international-students

Non-EU citizens living outside of Italy: Citizens of a country that is not a member of the European Union, who do
not have the requirements to be considered as equivalent (assimilated) to EU citizens - see above. The Italian
Ministry of Education, University and Research - MIUR defines the regulations for the admission of non-EU citizens
living outside of Italy. More details available here: http://www.studiare-in-italia.it/studentistranieri/

4. Admission requirements

• ALL CANDIDATES need to hand in through College Board the SAT GENERAL TEST (School Assessment Test)
results, using the code 6993.
The SAT is organized by The College Board www.collegeboard.org and can be taken in any SAT centre in
Italy and the resto fo the world. It is not necessary to take the SAT with Essay, since it does not add any
additional score.

• Make sure that your secondary school-leaving certificate complies with all the requirements below. If it
does not, even if you apply and are selected, you will then not be able to enroll.

If you are completing your secondary school education at a non-Italian secondary school, please consider the
following mandatory regulations by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research.

In order to be admitted to an Italian Bachelor’s Programme (First-Cycle Degree), as it is CLABE, your school leaving
certificate must meet the following requirements:
• was awarded following at least 12 years of schooling
• was awarded following a final period of at least two years of successful attendance in a foreign educational
system
• grants access to a programme at a university in one’s country of reference which is similar to that being
applied to in Italy. If entrance exams are established for university admission in your country (i.e. the Gao
Kao in China) you must pass these academic tests.
In calculating the above-mentioned twelve years, if necessary, a pre-school year may be considered provided that:
• attendance during that year was compulsory and an integral part of the curriculum

4
 • the programme included the teaching of mother-tongue literacy and the initial elements of arithmetic
calculation.
If you hold a qualification obtained at the end of schooling lasting less than 12 years, in addition to the original
secondary school diploma, you must submit an academic certificate stating that you have passed all the required
exams:
• for the first year of university studies, in the case of local school systems of eleven years
• for the first two years of university studies, in the case of local school systems of ten years.
Such academic certification (in addition to secondary school diplomas obtained following less than twelve years of
schooling) allows matriculation only in the first academic year of the programme. Enrolment in a shortened
programme may be possible only if the duration of previous university attendance is longer than the period
required to make up for the missing school education.
The following certifications may also be accepted for the integration of educational systems lasting less than 12
years:
• final post-secondary studies qualifications in a subject related to the chosen programme obtained from a
non-university higher education institute
• certificates from universities attesting the successful completion of Foundation Courses.
Check the page “Foreign qualifications for enrolment in first and single cycle degree programmes: special cases and
information by country” to learn whether there are particular requirements for the diplomas of your country.

Important for transfer students: The exams passed in the academic year(s) that you need to fulfil the 12
years of schooling requirement cannot be transferred and used as credits for CLaBE. You can ask to transfer
previously-obtained university credits to CLaBE only if your university years exceed those needed to integrate the
12 years’ requirement. E.g.: if the school system in your country of reference is one of 11 years, and you have one
complete year at university, the exams you passed in that year cannot be transferred to CLaBE and you can only
enrol in the first year of the programme.

For further information regarding international school-leaving diplomas, please contact the local Italian
Consulate or Embassy in the country where the diploma was issued, or alternatively, the University of
Bologna International Desk ([email protected]).

Please check further details on foreign qualifications:

https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/enrolment-transfer-and-final-examination/enrolling-in-first-or-single-cycle-
degree-programme-foreign-qualification

4.1 Special regulations apply to some specific qualifications:

US High School diploma

Candidates holding a US High School Diploma, issued by an American high school in the US or by an American school
in other countries, in order to be eligible to enrol to Italian University must, alternatively:
1) have earned at least 3 US Advanced Placements (APs), passed with a minimum grade of 3 out of 5, in
subjects related to Business and Economics.
2) have successfully completed two years of college/university education (and be admitted to the third year)
3) have successfully completed one year of college education (and be admitted to the second year) and have
earned at least 4 US Advanced Placements (APs) in subjects related to Business and Economics.
APs in Italian cannot be considered valid when applying to a degree course taught in English.
Please remember that APs are courses accredited by the College Board. You can have the College Board send your
test results to the University of Bologna (recipient code 6993) and thereby avoid the legalization of their
certification. Please note that The American High School Diploma alone is NOT valid.

GCE (from the British school system)

With a British GCE secondary qualification, you can be eligible if you have at least 3 A-levels in different
subjects related to Business and Economics. A-levels in Italian cannot be considered valid when applying to a degree
course taught in English.

Apolytirion
5
Candidates holding the Greek certificate “Apolytirion” need to have passed it with an overall mark of at least 10/20,
and to have obtained a “Veveossi Prosvassis” certificate (special regulations apply to those who obtained the
“Apolytirion” before 1999). The points 2 and 3 of this paragraph stay valid too.

International Baccalaureate Diploma

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma is valid for admission to Italian universities, whereas the
International Baccalaureate Certificate and the IB Diploma Programme courses are not valid for admission.
We can only accept full IB Diplomas.

Other:
• If, in your home country, admission to university-level studies is subject to special exams, you must give evidence
to have passed such selections with the required minimum scores (e.g. Gao Kao, Veveossi
Prosvassis, Matura, YGS, Vestibular/ENEM) in order to enrol in any Italian university.
• Special agreements apply as for graduates from school listed in this file http://www.studiare-
initalia.it/studentistranieri/moduli/2018/allegato2.pdf.
It is important that your secondary school-leaving certificate complies with all the requirements above. In case it
does not, you may not be able to enrol. The information on this paragraph are updated to February 2020. If you
have doubts it is a good idea, however, to get in contact with the local Italian Consulate or Embassy in the country
where the diploma was issued and/or the University of Bologna International Desk ([email protected]).

Italian language requirement: Non-Italian candidates enrolling in a degree course (taught in Italian) at an Italian
University are normally requested to take an Italian language test in order to assess their knowledge of such
language. If you are a non-Italian citizen and you are admitted to CLaBE, however, no Italian language is required
and you will be exempted from taking the test, since all activities are carried out in English.

5. Transferring students

If you wish to transfer to CLaBE from another course of the University of Bologna, or from another Italian or non-
Italian University, or if you wish to transfer to CLaBE after having already completed another Bachelor’s degree,
you will have to follow the same admission process, up to enrolment, as all other applicants. Once you are admitted,
if you wish, you can apply for the recognition within CLaBE of the exams you took at your previous University course.
Transfers with recognition of exams are acceptable only if you have more than 12 years of schooling.
For more information on transfers and recognition of previous exams, please check this page and the related links:
https://corsi.unibo.it/1cycle/CLaBE/admission-test

6. Selection Criteria

The SAT is a standardized test used to apply to colleges and universities in the US and in Italy. It assesses your critical
thinking and problem solving skills in maths, reading and writing. It is managed by College Board: for information
on the test such as dates, prices, test centres, deadlines and score reports please check College Board website
www.collegeboard.org.

We accept SAT certificates obtained starting from 1st December 2019.

It is essential to comply with all of the following points:

• When registering on the College Board website you must provide one of the two email addresses you
have on Studenti Online: either your institutional email address, automatically given by the system
([email protected]) or your personal email address.
• Carefully fill in your personal details (name, surname, date and place of birth, email) since they have to be
the same indicated when registering on the College Board website and will be the ones on the SAT score
report.
On pain of exclusion, your personal details on Studenti Online, MUST be the same shown on the SAT
score report.
• You must ask College Board to forward your SAT scores to the University of Bologna, using code 6993,

6
as soon as you can. You can do this directly from the College Board website
https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/scores/send-scores-to-colleges/sending-scores

• In any case, we will consider only scores arrived to Unibo no later than the following dates:

For the I round: April 7, 2022 - 1.00pm cet

For the II round: May 5, 2022 - 1.00pm cet
For the III round: June 20, 2022 - 1.00pm cet

It is important, therefore, to check with College Board the SAT score delivery timing. If you have taken more than
one SAT General test starting from 1st December 2019 and have correctly sent all the scores to Unibo within the
deadlines, Unibo will consider that with the highest score.

 https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/enrolment-transfer-and-final-examination/enroling-in-first-or-single-cycle-
degree-programme-foreign-qualification

The activation of the career must be done by February 28, 2023.

11. Students with NON-Italian school certificates

If you hold a non-Italian school-leaving certificate, it needs to be legalized, officially translated, validated and
accompanied by a suitable “Declaration of Value” (Dichiarazione di Valore) confirming the eligibility toenrol in the
Degree programme. You can take part in the selection even though you do not have all the needed documents yet,
but if you are eventually admitted to the programme, you will need them in order to finalize your enrolment.

LEGALIZATION: Foreign qualifications have no legal validity in Italy, therefore they must be legalized in order to
guarantee their authenticity. Ask the relevant authority to legalize the documents that attest your degree before
going to the Italian Embassy/Consulate. If you are not sure about which is the relevant authority, please ask the
Italian Embassy/Consulate to which your school system refers (e.g. all British Schools graduates should refer to the
Italian Consulate in London). Legalization is not required if the country where the qualification was obtained is part
of the Hague Convention (1961). In this case, legalization is substituted with an “Apostille”. Nor is legalization
required if your qualification was awarded by an institution in Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland or Latvia (Brussels
Convention 1987), Germany (Rome Convention 1969), Austria (Vienna Convention 1975). Students with non-
legalized International Baccalaureate (IB) Diplomas must give the University of Bologna permission to check their
results on the International Baccalaureate Organization website.

TRANSLATION: Your final secondary school diploma and all other relevant school documents must be submitted
along with an official translation in Italian, obtained from the Italian Embassy. If you are in Italy you can get your
documents translated by official translators (traduzione giurata), at district court offices (Tribunali). Please note:
the University of Bologna does not require a translation for diplomas, certificates and syllabuses that are issued in
English, French, German or Spanish. However, some Embassies or Consulates may ask you to have such documents
translated into Italian anyway to release you a visa.

DECLARATION OF VALUE: The Declaration of Value (Dichiarazione di Valore) is an official information document
describing the characteristics of a given qualification obtained within an education system other than the Italian
one. It is used by the competent University offices to assess qualifications for the purposes of admission. The
Embassy where you apply for the visa may or may not be the same that will release you the DoV. This is because
the DoV is issued by the Italian Embassy in the country related to the school system (which means, for example,
that if you are in Kenya and graduated from a British school in Kenya, you need to request the Dov to the Italian
General Consulate in London.) If your diploma needs to be legalized (see above), the Italian Embassy in charge will
issue the DoV only after the qualification has been legalized by the competent authorities in that country (for
further information visit the MIUR website). A declaration of value is not required for International Baccalaureate
(IB) Diplomas and for Advanced Placements (APs). The declaration of value can also be substituted by attestations
issued by ENIC-NARIC centres that contain all the information given in the Declaration of Value, which are necessary
for the evaluation of the degree.

11.1 What to do:

You should contact the Italian Embassy/Consulate in your country of reference, and provide them with:

- The original of your secondary school certificate

- Your legalized documents (see “legalization” above)
- (Only if you are a non-EU student resident outside of Italy) Two passport-size photos
- (Only if the education system in your country lasts 10 or 11 years) the certificate attesting any extra
academic year that you may have completed)

10
 - (Only if in your country you are required to take a qualifying academic exam for university admission) the
certificate proving that you have passed the academic test
- (Only if you are applying for the recognition of exams from previous academic careers) the documents
required at the following link https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/enrolment-transfer-and-final-
examination/recognition-of-academic-qualifications-and-shortened-programmes-1/shortening-of-the-
degree-programme
- (Only if you are a non-EU student resident outside of Italy) The application for pre-enrolment (Form A): ask
for it at the Italian Consulate/Embassy in your country of residence. Please ask the Embassy/Consulate
about this as soon as possible for information and guidance.
- (Only if you are a non-EU student resident outside of Italy) Health insurance policy (if requested) and the
documents required for the visa application

The Embassy/Consulate must issue with:

- the Declaration of Value of your qualification (see above)

- (Only for non-EU students living outside of Italy)
• One of the passport-size photo you brought, authenticated
• The application form for pre-enrolment (Form A), authenticated
• a stamped health insurance policy (where applicable)
• An entry visa to Italy for study purposes
If you are interested in applying for Er.Go. financial aid, (study grants, housing and tuition fee waivers), you must
obtain a certification attesting to your family’s income and assets from the Italian Embassy, which has to be
translated and legalized. Er.Go. calls for applications will be published in July 2020.

11.2 Visa and rules for residence in Italy

EU and EU-assimilated If you have been living in Italy for more than 3 months, it is a good idea to register with the
Registry office (Anagrafe) in the city you live and study in: Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Rimini or Ravenna (however, not
all municipalities require such registration).

Non - EU If you are a non-EU citizenship, you are required to apply for a student visa at the Italian Embassy or
Consulate in your country of citizenship or residence. Such visa (Visto D: studio/ immatricolazione università) is
typically issued after the pre-enrolment procedures have been completed, and when you have proof of having been
admitted to a degree programme.

Read the information about the visa for Italy here http://vistoperitalia.esteri.it/home/en, selecting “study –
university enrolment” as the reason for your stay. Contact the relevant Italian Embassy well in advance and find
out what documents are required. Make an appointment if necessary.

Important: an entry visa for tourism cannot be used toenrol at the university or to obtain a residence permit for
study purposes.
Before leaving, you will need to purchase health insurance in your own country (which must be valid in Italy and
cover illnesses, accidents and maternity). Take the policy documentation with you to the embassy together with
the other documents required for obtaining a visa and make sure that the embassy stamps the insurance policy to
certify its validity. Without the embassy’s stamp, once you arrive in Italy you may be obliged to purchase another
policy, as foreign insurance not validated by the Embassy is not acceptable for obtaining a residence permit.

Once in Italy, all non-EU citizens who hold a valid and correct type of student visa for Italy must apply for a permit
of stay for study purposes (Permesso di soggiorno per motivi di studio). The permit of stay (aka “residence permit”)
is issued by the local Police Department (Questura - Ufficio Stranieri) in the place where you live in Italy; however,
the applicant must physically submit his/her application not directly to the Police, but at the Post Office.

N.B. Upon arrival in Bologna, specific sessions will be organized to support students in their applications for
permit of stay.

12. Open positions

Not all selected students eventually enrol, which is why, after each admission round, there might still be some
places left available; if that is the case, the Students Administration Office will publish on Studenti Online the
number of places left available. So, if you are listed in the general ranking as admissible, but were not selected,
check Studenti Online in the dates indicated in the general calendar at the beginning of the call; if there are places
available and you are still interested in being included in the programme, there might be another chance for you
to join in.
Remember that you have to confirm your interest, by selecting the appropriate button on Studenti Online (if not,
you will not be picked up!). A list of newly admitted candidates will then be published: if it features your name, you
should enrol as soon as possible. Please check all the relevant deadlines in the mentioned table.
