Entrance visa request

All non-EU citizens living abroad, wishing to apply for admission to a degree course at the University of Ferrara, have to register on the Universitaly platform that enables them to both apply to the University and to request a visa for study purposes.

The pre-enrolment procedure is mainly divided into two steps:

  •     the registration on the platform in order to create a personal account;
  •     the application for admission to a degree course at the University of Ferrara.

The University shall evaluate all requests and the eligible applicants shall be admitted upon their arrival in Ferrara, when they will have to hand in their original school and/or academic qualifications as proof of authenticity.
