To access a Bachelor’s degree programme, a qualification awarded after at least 12 years of schooling is necessary. In case of qualifications obtained after less than 12 years of schooling, the missing year(s) can be compensated with:

• a transcript of records certifying the successful completion of the exams planned for the first year (and second, in case of 10 years of schooling) of an academic programme;
• an official Italian or international qualification of post-secondary studies obtained in a non-academic higher institution, in a subject related to the degree programme chosen, with a duration of one or two years depending on the number of missing schooling years;
• a foundation course/foundation year certification of other Italian universities, compensating for the missing schooling years.

These documents must be uploaded when applying:

• original language copy of secondary school diploma or enrolment certificate;
• certificate of having successfully passed an entry test for higher education in the applicant’s home country, if applicable;
• certificate of school subjects/transcript;
• Italian or English translations of the documents listed above (if they are not already in one of these languages).
