The degree is yours.
The paperwork is ours.
Public universities in Italy charge as little as €156 a year, and the DSU grant can cover your living costs entirely. Almost nobody fails on merit — they fail on process. That is the part we handle.
Nobody is rejected for being unqualified.
They miss a portal deadline nobody told them about, submit a translation the consulate won't accept, or discover in July that the scholarship closed in April. Six things decide the outcome. We own all six.
Recognition of your diploma
CIMEA statements, Declaration of Value, sworn translations and apostille — obtained in the right order, because the wrong order means starting again.
The Universitaly pre-enrolment
Every Italian student visa depends on this portal. One mismatched field between your passport, your application and your pre-enrolment stops the file cold.
The scholarship calendar
DSU deadlines usually close months before you have an offer letter. Applying late costs you the grant, not the place.
The ISEE parificato
Your family income has to be translated into an Italian financial instrument. Get the documents wrong and your grant band drops — or disappears.
The consulate appointment
Slots are scarce and released without warning. We watch the calendar, prepare the file, and rehearse the interview with you.
The first thirty days
Permesso di soggiorno, codice fiscale, a bank account and a lease — all with an eight-day legal clock running from the day you land.
One team, first enquiry to first lecture.
Six stages. You can see exactly which one you're in at any moment, from your portal.

The best-value degree in Europe, if you can reach it.
Italy funds international students the way few countries do. The catch is entirely bureaucratic — which is precisely why it stays open to those who navigate it.
No GRE or GMAT
Italian public universities assess your transcript and your motivation, not an expensive standardised test.
A grant, not a loan
The DSU is need-based and does not have to be repaid. In many regions it also covers housing and meals.
Stay after you graduate
A 12-month permit to look for work, and Schengen mobility across 29 countries while you study.
Questions worth asking first.
Public universities charge on a sliding scale tied to family income. Students from lower income bands often pay only the regional tax — around €156 a year. Private universities are a different matter entirely, and we will tell you plainly when one is not worth the fee.
Not to study — 51 Italian public universities run degrees taught entirely in English. You will need Italian to live comfortably, find part-time work and deal with public offices, so we recommend starting A1 before you fly.
Twelve months before your intended intake. Document recognition alone can take three to four months, and the DSU scholarship usually closes before universities publish their offers. Starting in spring for a September intake is already tight.
We appeal, and if the refusal traces back to something we prepared, our admission fee is refunded. No agency controls a consulate's decision, and any agency promising a guaranteed visa is telling you something untrue.
In instalments tied to milestones, never all in advance. The eligibility assessment is free and carries no obligation. You will have the full fee schedule in writing before you commit to anything.
Find out where you actually stand.
Forty-five minutes with an advisor, at no cost. You will leave knowing which universities are realistic, what the scholarship is likely to be worth, and whether the timeline still works.
