Dreaming of studying in Italy? Here are the documents you will need!

Have you ever dreamed of living in Italy, studying within the historic walls of a centuries-old university, walking among artistic masterpieces after class, or simply learning a language that sounds like music to the ears?

If the answer is yes, then you're in the right place. Studying at university in Italy is not just an academic opportunity: it's an adventure that can change your life.

A dream within reach

Every year, thousands of international students choose Italy for the quality of its university programs, its welcoming culture, and its unique lifestyle. But to make this dream a reality, a bit of preparation is needed: documents, visas, and—above all—a good command of the Italian language.

The required documents: where to start

To enroll in an Italian university as an international student, you will need to:

Complete your pre-enrollment on the Universitaly portal, selecting the university and course you wish to attend.
Submit your academic qualifications (diploma or degree) with an official translation into Italian and the Dichiarazione di Valore, which must be requested from the Italian Consulate in your country.
Obtain the acceptance letter from the university.
Apply for a study visa (type D) at the Italian Consulate.
Once in Italy, apply for a tax code and a residence permit.

All of this may seem complex, but you are not alone. At Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, we guide you step by step.

Italian: the key to your academic future

Many Italian universities require a minimum level of Italian—B1 or B2 of the Common European Framework—to attend courses taught in Italian. If you haven’t reached this level yet, don’t worry: you can start studying with us online, right from home.

Our online courses are flexible, engaging, and designed to help you quickly improve your listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Lessons are led by qualified teachers, using up-to-date materials and a communicative approach that prepares you for academic language.

Get ready now for your future in Italy. With dedication, support, and passion, reaching the B1 or B2 level has never been easier!

Choose where you want to live your adventure

Once you're ready, you can move to Italy and choose from one of our schools in Florence, Rome, Milan, Turin, or Viareggio—each city with its own personality, but all ideal for living and studying in Italian.

In addition to the language, we also offer practical support: we help you with paperwork, finding accommodation, and integrating into Italian life with fun leisure activities.

Your adventure starts now

Studying in Italy is not just an academic goal: it’s a life choice.
It means sitting in a historic classroom, but also speaking Italian with your new friends; it’s studying economics or design, but also living among art, culture, and beauty every day.

At Scuola Leonardo da Vinci, we believe that learning a language is also learning how to live. And if studying at university in Italy is your dream, we’re here to help you make it come true.
