Educational qualifications obtained outside the Italian education system must undergo "academic recognition" to determine if they are valid for access to Italian university programs. Candidates can enroll in a program if their qualification is recognized and they meet the program’s entry requirements.  / I titoli di studio ottenuti al di fuori dal sistema di educazione Italiano devono essere valutate per un "riconoscimento accademico" per poter determinare se sono valide per l'ammissione ai Corsi di Studio Universitari italiani. I candidati e le candidate potranno immatricolarsi ai Corsi di Studio se il loro titolo è riconosciuto e se soddisfano i requisiti di ammissione del Corso. 

This list is only for orientation purposes, your documentation will be evaluated by the Admission Office and a response about eligibility will be sent directly to you. / Questa lista è solo a titolo informativo, i tuoi documenti verranno valutati dall'Admission Office e riceverai gli esiti in merito all'idoneità del titolo direttamente via email.

Students who have yet to complete their secondary education must attach the following documents: / Gli studenti che non hanno ancora completato la scuola secondaria superiore devono allegare i seguenti documenti:

  1. Last marksheet or letter from school stating that you are currently a student and when your expected to complete your studies / Pagella dell’ultimo anno di scuola secondaria superiore o lettera della scuola che attesti la tua iscrizione e la data in cui otterrai il diploma;
  2. Proof of registration to the higher education entry exam (where mandatory) / Attestato di iscrizione alla prova di idoneità accademica (se obbligatoria);
  3.  Self Certification (see below).

Evaluations for recognition are carried out in agreement with the following reference documentation 

Criteria used to evaluate academic titles include: 

  • Authenticity of the Qualification.  
  • Accreditation of the Higher Education Institution awarding the qualification. 
  • Accreditation of the study program.  
  • Level of Qualification (ex. secondary school diploma, Bachelors’ Degree etc...). 
  • Type of Qualification (ex. academic stream, professional/vocational stream etc...). 
  • Specific limitations to the access to university-level in the education system in which the Qualification has been issued (ex. Access limited to courses in specific subject areas such as humanities or sciences, access limited to professional/vocational University-level courses, additional entrance exams required to access University-level courses etc...). 
  • Presence of a National exam to access the University in the education system in which the Qualification has been issued. If required by the local regulations on university admissions, marks may also be checked. 
  • Country-specific indications reported in the “Procedures for entry, residency and enrolment of international students and the respective recognition of qualifications for higher education courses in Italy”. 
  • Information and documentation received from Italian Representatives, Representatives of the Country where the Qualification has been obtained, the Italian Information Center on Academic Mobility and Equivalence (CIMEA) or collected after consultation of official databases. 

Additional requirements and criteria besides those mentioned above and dedicated to specific types of Educational Qualifications or education systems may be applied on a case-by-case basis. 

Holding an Educational Qualification that allows access to university-level courses is a mandatory requirement. In the eventuality that additional information or documentation collected after the enrollment of candidates show that they are holding a qualification that does not allow to access university-level courses, the Student Administration Offices will be required to terminate their position.
