Admission at a glance

Federico II admits non-EU applicants through the compulsory Universitaly pre-enrolment procedure, which precedes the study visa application and is described on the university's own international pages as the responsibility of the Italian embassy or consulate handling the case. Applicants choose their university and programme on the Universitaly portal, submit supporting documents, and only after the university validates the pre-enrolment can they apply for a study visa at the competent Italian diplomatic office. Enrolment itself requires a passport copy, an application form with a photo, an Italian tax code, proof that the residence permit has been requested, and a Declaration of Value or an ENIC-NARIC certificate of comparability for the foreign qualification. Restricted-access programmes such as Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine and Architecture add a mandatory entrance test; applicants to a bachelor's programme taught entirely in English are not required to hold an Italian B2 certificate. The official non-EU enrolment page states that non-EU students pay the fixed regional tax of EUR 140 plus EUR 16 stamp duty, with no separate tuition line, though restricted-access and specialised programmes may set their own fee structure not covered by that page.
