IUAV University of Venice

Overview

With around 5,000 students, IUAV concentrates on architecture, design (product, fashion, communication), urban and regional planning, and art and theatre. It offers a specialist, boutique education setting.

Venice’s singular urban environment gives the design and planning programmes an unmatched laboratory; international workshops and collaborations are common.

The city of Venice and student life

In the Veneto, Venice is one of the world’s most singular cities. The housing cost can run high; many students lodge in mainland Mestre. The city offers unmatched provision in design and art.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Architecture
• Design (product, fashion, communication, visual)
• Urban and regional planning
• Art and theatre
• Landscape and architectural conservation

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Programmes are mainly Italian; selected master’s are 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 IUAV University of Venice?

Applying to IUAV 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.
