Graduands from the University of Milan and from other Universities may also submit an admission application provided they graduate by 31 December.

Register or have to hand your University login credentials.

If you are registering with the University of Milan for the first time, or you are already registered as an external user but your credentials are no longer valid: 

1. Register on the portal.

2. At the end of the registration, access the email account you indicated during registration and activate the registration credentials you received (username and password).

1. Your registration credentials (or University access credentials if you have previously studied at this university).
