Here are the main steps international students have to follow to apply to one of our programmes:

1. Complete a pre-selection application

2. Create an account on Infostud, Sapienza's student services portal

3. Follow the instructions contained in your programme's "Call for Admissions" available at corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it ("Apply" section) and on the International Student Office page

4. Apply for a study visa on WWW.UNIVERSITALY.IT (NON-UE STUDENTS ONLY) by the end of June (to be updated for 2026)

A pre-selection application is an online application allowing international students to be assessed well before the official Call for Applications is published. Pre-selection is available for most English-taught Bachelor's and Master's programmes not requiring an in-person admission test, and for a limited number of Italian-taught programmes.

This application is particularly important for those applying for a study visa to enter Italy. Most programmes will ask pre-selection applicants to provide:

• Passport
• High School and University Diploma
• Transcript of Records
• Language Certificate
• Reference Letter (optional)
• Additional supporting documents

Each student can apply for a maximum of 2 programmes per academic year.

Please note: if the programme(s) you are interested in is not available for pre-selection, we invite you to contact the programme Coordinator through the Contacts section of our Course Catalogue.

• Students applying for a Bachelor's programme must hold a high school diploma earned after at least 12 years of studies;
• Students applying for a Master's programme must hold at least a 3-year Bachelors degree from a recognized university in a relevant discipline;
• Additionally, all students must have at least an upper-intermediate knowledge of English OR Italian (B2 level), depending on their chosen programme. Some programmes also require students to sit a mandatory admission test (e.g. Medicine and Surgery).

Tuition for our Bachelor's and Master's programmes  is € 300-1500/year, according to country of residence (visit "Tuition Fees and Benefits" for further details).
We are able to offer such convenient rates thanks to public funding by the Italian Ministry of Higher Education. Additionally, students can apply for various scholarships available at different levels, awarded on the basis of academic merit and/or family income. https://www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina/scholarships
