LUISS Guido Carli University

Overview

With around 9,000 students, LUISS is a selective, international university focused on the social sciences. It holds strong links with the business world, the public institutions and the international organisations.

With its applied, career-focused approach, its internship-placement network and its English-taught programmes, LUISS is an attractive option for international students.

The city of Rome and student life

The capital of Lazio and of Italy, Rome is a metropolis where culture and work opportunity concentrate. The LUISS campuses are set within the city; the housing cost is high.

Programmes and signature fields

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics and finance
• Business and management
• Law (international and commercial)
• Political science and international relations
• Data, AI and digital transformation (management-focused)

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Many programmes are English; there are Italian-taught programmes too. English-taught programmes want IELTS/TOEFL, Italian-taught ones a language certificate and generally an entrance assessment.

Application for Turkish students

The application is made through the university’s own admission system; for the official procedures in Italy (pre-enrolment, residence, degree recognition) the Universitaly and CIMEA or Dichiarazione di Valore are needed. At this stage the apostilled, sworn-Italian-translated form of your diploma and transcript must stand ready.

Tuition fees and scholarships

As a private (foundation) university, the fees are higher than at the state universities; in many programmes the fee is tiered by the family income (ISEE). The university’s own merit and need scholarships provide important support; in some cases the regional DSU provision (housing, etc.) can be drawn on too. Scholarship applications want the sworn translation of your income documents and, where needed, an ISEE Parificato. For detail see our scholarships section.

Which documents should you have sworn-translated for LUISS Guido Carli University?

Applying to LUISS Guido Carli University (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.
