Study Pathways01 02 03
Find the Route That Fits Your Goals
Italian higher education includes university degrees and recognised specialist institutions. Admission rules and course availability should be checked with each institution.
Laurea Magistrale
A second-cycle degree, generally two years after a relevant first degree. Some programmes have specific course and language requirements.
Creative & Research Routes
AFAM institutions offer higher education in fine arts, music and dance; universities also offer doctoral and other specialist pathways.
Plan With Clarity
Check the Course Requirements
Each institution sets its own admission criteria. Use the exact course information and official guidance when preparing your application.
Academic Eligibility
Check previous-qualification requirements, subject prerequisites and any selection tests.
Language of Instruction
Confirm whether the course is taught in Italian or English and what evidence is accepted.
Qualification Documents
Follow the institution’s current instructions for transcripts, translations and assessment of foreign qualifications.
Pre-Enrolment Route
Confirm whether Universitaly pre-enrolment applies to your course and complete each stage in the stated order.
Application Journey
From Course Choice to Arrival in Italy
For non-EU students applying from abroad, university admission and Universitaly pre-enrolment are separate from the visa decision. The sequence and deadlines must be checked for your specific institution and intake.
Review Your Profile
Define your study level, academic background, subject preference and language readiness.
Choose a Course
Compare recognised programmes and confirm eligibility and the institution’s own application dates.
Apply to the Institution
Submit the documents and any test results required by the university or specialist institution.
Complete Pre-Enrolment
Use the Universitaly portal where required and wait for validation by the chosen institution.
Prepare Your Visa File
Follow the current Italian consular checklist and appointment process for your place of residence.
Prepare for Arrival
Arrange housing and insurance, then complete the required residence-permit steps after arrival.
For applicants in Pakistan: the Italian Embassy’s published 2026–27 procedure required university validation of Universitaly pre-enrolment before a student visa application. Check the Embassy and your chosen institution for the current intake’s rules and dates; do not reuse an earlier deadline.
