Between 15 May and the end of June 2026, non-EU candidates could only apply for programmes taught in Italian.  

All other candidates (EU or equivalent): deadline set on July 31, 2026.

A pre-selection application is an online application allowing international students to be assessed well before the official Call for applications is published in the Course catalogue. 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.

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

1. Complete a pre-selection application on MoveIn (if available for your programme, see list in the Admission requirements document)

• 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).

IMPORTANT: Please note that final admissions are dependent on the successful outcome of all of the above steps, some of which are not controlled or managed by Sapienza University of Rome. Do make sure to follow all the regulations applying to your specific status (e.g. visa applicant, permanent resident, international degree holder, etc.)  

Please carefully review the English language requirements for admission to English-taught programmes.
