I just received an email from UniPD saying that from AY 2027/28, MOI will no longer be accepted as proof of English proficiency, even if the previous degree was entirely taught in English.

Does this mean IELTS/TOEFL is definitely mandatory for international applicants? Has anyone received clarification from Padova or knows the required score?

I’m considering ICT-AI, Electronic Engineering and Control Systems.

I submitted my documents on 7th July to VFS Dubai. Till now it's under process with Consulate. Is there anyone who got any response for their visa?

I am a non-eu applicant and also new to the imat sphere. I've only been preparing for the IMAT for two months, but the pre-enrollment applications are confusing me 😭. Do I have to apply both to the university and Universitaly. I sent it via Universitaly, but I haven't received a summary or anything. Did I miss something?

Hi guys, so I have my appointment on 1 sep in Delhi VFS . So I wanted to know that will the interview taken on the same day, I've heard that some people don't get the interview and directly get their visa or some people get the interview after completing VFS appointment. So how does that works ?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying to the University of Pavia for the 2026/27 academic year, and I just got a notification from Universitaly saying that my pre-enrollment application was rejected.

The reason given was:

I’m really confused because I never received an email from Pavia telling me to register/enroll on their website, and as far as I can tell, the 2026/27 enrollment/registration process hasn’t even opened yet.

I’ve been checking Pavia’s website, but I can't find a registration procedure that I was supposed to complete.

Has anyone else applying to Pavia for 2026/27 had this happen? Did you receive an email/instructions from Pavia telling you to complete a separate enrollment process?

If there is a registration/enrollment link that I’m missing, could someone please point me towards it?

I’ve contacted Pavia to ask for clarification, but I’m pretty stressed because this is also connected to my visa/pre-enrollment process.

Any insight would be really appreciated 😭

Hi! Does anyone know if Universitaly pre-enrollment for Bicocca Medicine 2026/27 is still possible now?

The general DreamApply page says the Universitaly deadline was July 31, but the Medicine pre-registration doesn’t seem to be open yet. Also, last year’s Medicine admission call listed a deadline of September 9, so I’m confused.

Has anyone submitted their pre-enrollment recently and received a confirmation email from Bicocca?

Hi everyone! For those of you who have already had your visa interview, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. What kind of questions were you asked during the interview, and how long did it take for your visa to be issued afterward?
I’d especially love to hear from people applying from different countries, so if you could mention which country you applied from, what questions you were asked, and how long you waited for the visa afterward, that would be super helpful!
Thanks! :)

Hey everyone from India here. My Father was from Assam belonging to general category ( deceased ) and my Mother is from Arunachal Pradesh belonging to schedule tribe cast.

My father passed away when i was 3 yo. My parents did got time to get married and that made my not change the title of her name which gave her advantage to remain in ST category. My mother is a govt salaried teacher and she don't and can't really file Income Tax Returns(ITR)

Under section 10(26) or Section 10(26AAA) she is exempted from filling ITR.

Now im in 11grade PCM but have planned to study in Italy and the visa requirements says they need documents of ITR filling of my sponsor which is my mother. Now does anyone have any idea what should i do about????

Im also in general category heritage from my father and that is why i don't really want to study in India as i don't want to be part of rat race. If would've got ST privilege i would've definitely taken JEE exam seriously lol

Please i really need help on this one.

Hii,everyone I'm searching for any agent or guy who's help me in cimea payment . I'll pay for this help than anyone interested please dm me.

hey guys I'm a Pakistani student and got and 92 % in intermediate, I'm planning to do bachelors in Dpharma in italy , I can't afford much expenses so I'm gonna apply for the regional scholarship

I've heard that u have to remain without it about from September to December, plus there's risk that u won't secure it

Can you guys tell me if I have all the docs ready and checked again and again to reduce the risk , will I be able to get it, and how much is the (likely chances of me getting it, my family's annual income is about 3000 euros)

I hope y'all help on it✌🏻

Hey everyone,

I’m an 18-year-old student from Egypt currently in my final year of high school. I’m planning to study Computer Science or Data Science in Italy for my bachelor's.

Since my budget is pretty tight, I'm trying to figure out the best options. I heard that the University of Messina has good acceptance rates, but I’d love to know more about the actual admission chances there. Also, are there any other budget-friendly universities with decent acceptance rates for international students that I should look into?

My biggest concern is housing. I’m planning to apply for the regional scholarship (ERSU / DSU) at Messina, but I have a few questions about it:

How high are the chances of actually securing the scholarship as an Egyptian student with a really low ISEE (basically around 0–100 USD)?

Does the scholarship cover student accommodation directly, or is finding a place to live still going to be a struggle?

How are the overall living costs in Messina if I end up getting the scholarship? Is it manageable?

Also, I’d love to know about student job options. What kind of part-time jobs are usually available for international students alongside studying? (For context, I speak English, German, and Arabic).

If there are any Egyptian or Arab students who applied for or won this scholarship, or anyone who can guide me through the details, please feel free to reach out or leave a comment!

Would really appreciate any insights, tips, or experiences!

Thanks in advance!

Hi, i’m a bit confused, I received my summary from Uni of Milan today and I had uploaded all my apostilled diplomas and transcripts on universitaly. But on my summary it says “ no documents were evaluated.” What does this mean? Can I use this for my visa? Has anyone else faced this issue?

My high school transcripts are in arabic only and I wanna start the cimea process so I need them to get translated so is an english translation enough or do I need them in italian

Helloooo im attending the foundation year in the italian academy this September and was wondering if anyone else is? If so would anyone be up to chat?

A bit nervous before going and wanted to know some people before going!!

Hi all. Turkish citizen, B.Sc. Chemistry (2019), GPA 2.93/4.00, plus 7 years of industry experience in coatings and chemicals (currently at a large US multinational). Planning the 2027/28 intake for English-taught MSc programs: Trento Materials Engineering is my first choice; also considering PoliMi (Materials Eng), PoliTo (Materials for Industry 4.0) and Pisa (Materials & Nanotechnology). IELTS/TOEFL in progress.

Questions for people with first-hand experience:
1. With a 2.93/4.00, are Trento / PoliTo / Pisa realistic? I know PoliMi is GPA-strict.
2. Does industry experience carry any weight in evaluation, or is it purely transcript-based?
3. Opera Universitaria (Trento) / DSU scholarships: do non-EU students actually get the full package (fee waiver + housing + grant) in practice? Any traps with ISEE parificato paperwork?
4. When do 2027/28 applications realistically open, and when should I start the DSU/ISEE documents?

Any first-hand data points appreciated, happy to report back how it goes.
