The University of Milan is the largest university in the region, and leading institute in Italy and Europe for scientific productivity. It is a public teaching and research university, which – with 9 faculties, 58 departments, 48 institutes and a teaching staff of 2,500 professors – is distinguished by its wide variety of disciplinary fields.
The University has numerous centres, located in prestigious historic buildings and modern edifices.  The University’s headquarters can be found in the old Ospedale dei Poveri (Hospital for the Poor) known as “la Ca’ Granda” (the Big House), a 15th-century monumental complex situated in the heart of the historic city centre.

How to apply

Bilateral agreements and special conventions exist with various countries, but as a general rule, applicants must have studied for at least 12 years before applying for a university course.
Those from countries where admission to university is possible after only 10 or 11 years of study must prove that they have attended the local university and passed all necessary examinations for 2 years or 1 year, so as to reach a total of 12 years of study.
European citizens, non-EU citizens resident in Italy with a current, valid permesso di soggiorno (residence permit) and natives of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Lichtenstein can apply to the university like Italian citizens, submitting their admission application directly to the University, together with the documentation pertaining to their foreign academic qualifications. Therefore they must send the completed Form D (Italian text) to the Italian diplomatic delegation in the country where they obtained their secondary school diploma, so that the Italian embassy or consulate can issue the “Dichiarazione di valore in loco “.

Non-EU citizens resident abroad must submit a pre-application request to the Italian Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence.
Please remember that all non-EU students who obtain a visa for study reasons must report to the Questura (Police Station) no later than 8 days after their arrival.
Graduates who wish to apply for a place on a doctoral programme or in a medical specialisation school must adhere to the instructions in the competitive examination announcements.

Student Scholarships and Exchanges

Foreign students, who are entitled to a tax reduction on the basis of their income, must therefore submit an officially translated document to the students office, which attests to their family’s economic situation in the year previous to the year of enrolment in the University. Otherwise they will be charged the maximum amount of the second instalment.
