BEFORE LEAVING FOR ITALY: you will need to carry out the pre-enrolment procedures through the Universitaly dashboard. Please note: you can only indicate one preference, i.e. only one degree programme at one university (some programmes have a number of available places for non-EU citizens). This online procedure will allow you both to pre-register and to request a study visa at once. As the pre-enrolment procedure is already available on the Universitaly dashboard, we suggest applicants to register and apply as soon as possibile in order to speed up the visa issuing process. It is mandatory that students register and complete their application before the deadline indicated in the Call for admissions to the BA/MA Courses with entry test. For all other Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, the application must be submitted in the Universitaly portal within the deadline indicated by the Italian Ministry for University and Research.

You must take and pass an Italian language test. The Italian language proficiency test in place at the University of Verona is the CISIA ITA-L2 test. Find all the information on this page.
