Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria

Overview

With around 10,000 students, the Mediterranea teaches in architecture, engineering, agriculture, law and economics. It leans into programmes themed on the Mediterranean and on regional development.

Its position on the strait facing Sicily lends the university a singular geographic and cultural context.

The city of Reggio Calabria and student life

In Calabria, Reggio Calabria is a seaside city on the Strait of Messina, looking across to Sicily. The cost of living is among the most affordable in Italy; the sea and the climate are appealing for students.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Architecture
• Engineering (civil, computing, environmental)
• Agriculture and food sciences
• Law and economics
• Cultural heritage

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; there is a limited number of English-taught ones. 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 Calabria regional 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 Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria?

Applying to the Mediterranea University of Reggio Calabria (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.
