Ca’ Foscari University of Venice

Overview

With around 21,000 students, Ca’ Foscari is strong in economics-management, languages and cultures, Asian and North African studies, the humanities and environmental sciences. Its language-teaching tradition makes a special draw for international students.

With its sites set in Venice’s historic buildings, the university offers a singular academic atmosphere; international exchange and double-degree programmes are common.

The city of Venice and student life

In the Veneto region, Venice is one of the world’s most singular cities. The tourist density and the limited space can raise the housing cost; many students lodge in mainland Mestre. The city is unmatched in cultural provision.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics and management (many English-taught programmes)
• Languages, literature and cross-cultural studies
• Asian and North African studies
• Environmental sciences and informatics
• Cultural heritage and the humanities

The university’s English-taught master’s programmes open the door to apply without an Italian precondition.

Language of instruction and language conditions

Most programmes are in Italian; a growing number in English. Italian-taught programmes want a B2 language certificate (CILS/CELI) or the university exam, English-taught ones IELTS/TOEFL.

Application for Turkish students

The application begins with the programme choice and the Universitaly pre-enrolment. A CIMEA or a Dichiarazione di Valore is needed for the degree recognition. The apostilled, sworn-Italian-translated form of your diploma and transcript must stand ready at this stage.

Tuition fees and scholarships

Fees are tiered by the ISEE value showing the family’s income and assets; low-income students can be largely exempted. The regional grant agency ESU Venezia (Veneto DSU) provides housing, food and cash support; the application wants the sworn translation of your income documents and an ISEE Parificato. For detail see our scholarships section.

Which documents should you have sworn-translated for Ca’ Foscari University of Venice?

Applying to Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (or to a programme in the same city), most documents issued in Turkey need a sworn Italian translation. The most-translated documents in master’s, doctoral and bachelor’s applications:

• The diploma (bachelor’s/master’s) and, where applicable, the provisional graduation certificate,
• The transcript and the diploma supplement,
• The course contents (where a recognition/compatibility assessment is needed),
• The income and financial documents (for the DSU grant and the ISEE Parificato),
• The statement of intent, CV and references (in Italian or English, by the programme’s language).

The order generally runs: the document is apostilled first, then sworn-translated into Italian from the apostilled version, and where needed the degree recognition (a CIMEA report or the consulate Dichiarazione di Valore) is obtained. For detail see our apostille guide, CIMEA recognition, Dichiarazione di Valore and Universitaly application pages. For document-level detail, the diploma-transcript translation and university application translation pages help.
