Sapienza University of Rome is the largest university in Europe and the oldest of Rome’s three state-funded universities. Sapienza was founded in 1303, more than six centuries before and it has a wide range of fields of study that includes 370 first cycle and second cycle degrees and over 300 professional university masters . It carries out scientific research in various fields of knowledge from pure science to technical branches and classical studies, historical, philosophic and economic-juridical subjects, from Sociology to Psychology, from Communication Sciences to Medicine.

A big number from the 145,000 students attending the University come from abroad: there are more than 5,000 foreign students and incoming and outgoing Erasmus students are about 1,000 per year. There are more than 4,500 professors and the administrative and technical staff counts approximately 5,000 people.

How to apply

Enrollment conditions and procedures vary according to candidates’ place of residence and depending upon the type of course chosen  (Degree programmes, Specialisation schools, Master courses, PhD). Students should apply to the foreign  Qualifications Secretary  for the first administrative procedures. After that they should pass an Italian test as well as an admission test.

Students from Non-EU Countries should apply to the diplomatic delegation of their country of origin prior to the deadline established by the MAE circular letter. The applications are then passed on to the University, by which they are examined and assessed. The assessment results are communicated to the delegations, that contact students and issue for them study visa.

Once they have arrived in Italy, students should pass an Italian test  and, if required, an admission test. The international student advisory office enrols the student for the admission test (students from Non-EU Countries are exempted from payment of Euro 26,00 enrollment fee  for the admission test).

Foreign students enrolled and living in Italy or other EU Countries should follow the same procedures as Italian students: they just have to obtain the validation of their qualification. More info here
