Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

Overview

With around 4,500 students, unibz teaches in economics, computing-engineering, design-art, education and agricultural-food-mountain-environment sciences. Its small scale and its trilingual structure are its standout features.

Set in the Alps, on the Italian-Austrian cultural border, the university offers strong international connections and a high quality of life.

The city of Bolzano and student life

In Trentino-Alto Adige, Bolzano is a high-quality-of-life city at the foot of the Dolomites, where Italian and German culture meet. The cost of living can run a little above the northern average; the provision for nature is wide.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics and management
• Computer science and engineering
• Design and art
• Education sciences
• Agriculture, food and mountain-environment sciences

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Programmes run in Italian, German and English; proficiency in more than one language is generally expected. IELTS/TOEFL for English, CILS/CELI for Italian and the relevant exams for German can be wanted.

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 Province of Bolzano’s grant agency 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 the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano?

Applying to the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (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.
