International students enrolling in single courses

Students with foreign educational qualifications can enrol in single courses with the same deadlines and procedures provided for Italian students, but they must deliver, through the InformaStudenti service, the following documentation to the International Students Office:

Students holding a secondary school diploma

• high school diploma, with translation in Italian by an official translator, legalized by the competent authorities of the Country issuing the qualification;
• Statement of Comparability issued by the Italian ENIC-NARIC centre (CIMEA) or other ENIC-NARIC centres, or Statement of validity (Dichiarazione di Valore in loco) issued by the Italian Embassy in the country where the qualification was obtained. For the 55 Countries that are signatories to the Lisbon Convention, the Statement of Correspondence processed through the ARDI platform, together with the Statement of Verification issued by CIMEA, replaces the CIMEA Statement of Comparability;
• University enrolment certificate with the list of exams taken or post-secondary qualification obtained in a non-university higher institute or foundation course certificate if the local system contemplates less than 12 years of schooling;
• academic suitability certificate if provided in the Country of origin;
• any other documents certifying specific qualification requirements (e.g. APs for US qualifications, A-level for UK qualifications);
• valid residence permit (only for non-EU citizens);
• fiscal code;
• identity document.

Students holding a university degree

• Degree (Bachelor Sc. or equivalent), with translation in Italian by an official translator, legalized by the competent authorities of the Country issuing the degree;
• Statement of Comparability issued by the Italian ENIC-NARIC centre (CIMEA) or other ENIC-NARIC centres, or Statement of validity (Dichiarazione di Valore in loco) issued by the Italian Embassy in the country where the qualification was obtained. For the 55 Countries that are signatories to the Lisbon Convention, the Statement of Correspondence processed through the ARDI platform, together with the Statement of Verification issued by CIMEA, replaces the CIMEA Statement of Comparability;
• copy of valid residence permit (only for non-EU citizens);
• fiscal code;
• identity document.

Furthermore, non-EU students who reside abroad have to access the Universitaly portal in order to fill in the relative "pre-enrolment application" online. The subsequent pre-enrolment phases must be completed at the relevant Diplomatic - consular missions for the purpose of obtaining the study visa.

The application of these students must be accompanied by the following documents:

• receipt of the Universitaly pre-application;
• request for a residence permit
• study Visa;
• any certificates of competence in Italian.

The high school diploma and university degree/certificates are also accepted in French, English, German and Spanish.

The certified translation of the university degree and the related on-site Declaration of Value/Statement of comparability can be replaced by the Diploma Supplement issued by the universities of countries belonging to the European Higher Education Area.

International students will pay the same fees as Italian students.

International students who take part in interuniversity programmes, or are enrolled in foreign universities that have specific agreements with the University of Milan, and holders of scholarships granted by the Italian government are exempt from enrolment fees, though they must pay a 16 euro contribution for administrative costs.
