FEEL AT ROME
Choosing a university isn’t easy. You want a place that can make your dreams come true,
educate you and provide you with the life skills and resources that will give you an edge in the
world. Sapienza University of Rome is just that place. With over 700 years of history, we have
been nurturing students for centuries. Sapienza, which was founded in 1303 as the Studium
Urbis, is the university with the largest student population in Europe: over 112,000 students.
Merging centuries of knowledge and tradition with cutting-edge research and innovation, Sa-
pienza provides a unique environment, where students are encouraged to exchange ideas and
philosophies. And it all takes place in one of the most breath-taking cities in the world: Rome.

We are a large, public and comprehensive Italian university, specializing in almost

all fields of knowledge at all academic levels (Bachelors, Masters, and PhD). As a
public university, most of our funding comes from the Italian government. This enables
us to keep our tuition fees very low, while maintaining academic freedom, excellent
academic and research standards and impressive international rankings in a wide
range of disciplines.
Throughout the course of the year, Sapienza also organises a myriad cultural, social
and sporting activities to encourage students to conduct a well-rounded social life.
These include: The “MuSa” orchestras, choirs and jazz ensembles; Sapienza Theatron
- Ancient Theatre Group, the RadioSapienza web-radio station and a wide range of
sports facilities.

THE ITALIAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM

8
Italian universities use the ECTS system, also called CFU in Italian (crediti formativi uni-
versitari). One academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS credits that are normally equiv-
alent to 1500–1800 hours of total workload, regardless of standard or qualification
type. 1 ECTS (or CFU) is normally equivalent to a 25-hour workload (classes, individual
study, internship, practical training, etc.)
9
 © Bert Kaufmann

FOUNDATION YEAR
Our “Foundation Year” programme was conceived for international students who need
to complete their basic education in order to pass an admission test at Italian public uni-
versities (in a range of disciplines, i.e., Medicine, Architecture, Science, Engineering and
Humanities).
The programme is held in English and primarily addresses students who do not meet the
minimum schooling requirements to apply for enrolment at Italian universities.
Candidates may apply for the “Foundation Year” Programme even if they already have
the 12 years of schooling necessary to enrol but wish to improve their educational or
linguistic competences.

SUMMER & WINTER SCHOOLS

Besides the many degree programmes, Sapienza also offers short and intensive cours-
es in a wide range of subjects such as Classics & Archaeology, Italian Language and
Culture, Cultural Heritage in The Near Middle East, Religions and Peaceful Coexistence
and many others. Summer & Winter Schools are a great way to get a taste of Sapienza’s
academic excellence and visit the wonderful city of Rome. Most Summer and Winter
Schools also include study trips and field activities.

ADMISSIONS
Our University provides over 275 Bachelors and Masters Programmes and 81 PhD Pro-
grammes. Moreover, in addition to the many courses held in Italian, Sapienza also pro-
vides over 35 programmes held entirely in English.
To be eligible for Italian higher education at the Bachelors level, it is mandatory to
have a High School diploma earned after no less than 12 years of studies. If you do not
possess this requirement, please see the “Foundation Year” section of this booklet or visit
our International Admissions webpage.

To be eligible for Italian higher education at the Masters level, it is mandatory to

of studies (of which at least 3 must be at university level).

Pre-selection Application
For most English-taught programmes (and some Italian-taught programmes) students
are required to go through an online pre-selection application, available at www.
uniroma1.it/en/pagina/international-admissions-0
Non-EU students can submit their applications from November until mid-April or mid-
May (depending on the programme). There is only one intake and students are expected
to be in Rome by mid-September (or earlier, if they need to take an entrance or language
examination for their chosen programme).
The online application allows perspective students to upload their university or
school diploma and transcript, as well as language certificates, reference letters,
CV, portfolio, and any other document needed for their academic evaluation.
For programmes not included in the pre-selection platform, students must follow the
procedure described in the call for applications of their chosen programme. The full
course catalogue is available at http://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/en;

Visa Application
Non-EU students are also required to apply for a study visa at their local Italian Embassy
or Consulate. We encourage students to do so as soon as possible. Students applying
for programmes offering an online pre-selection must submit their pre-acceptance letter
to the Italian Embassy/Consulate in their country of residence.

LIFE IN ROME
Sapienza is located in the heart of Rome, the capital of Italy. Rome is a city of a
mesmerizing beauty, with a long history, a vibrant life style and the highest concen-
tration of historical and architectural riches in the world. Over 16% of the world’s
cultural treasures are located in Rome (70% in Italy). As a part of Europe, Italy
allows international students to travel and study across the Schengen Area, which
includes 26 countries.
The average costs for shared accommodation in Rome, which is the option most students
choose, range from €300 to €600 per month, while living expenses for books, food,
transportation and utilities are roughly €300 a month. Much of course depends on your
lifestyle, but overall monthly expenses are in the € 600-900 range for most students.
For further information on living in Rome, you can visit www.uniroma1.it/en/pagina/
study-sapienza and https://www.turismoroma.it/en.
