Polytechnic University of Bari

Overview

With around 10,000 students, Politecnico di Bari teaches across all branches of engineering and in architecture-design. It stands out for its industry collaborations and research projects.

As southern Italy’s important technical institution, the university trains qualified engineers and architects for the regional industry.

The city of Bari and student life

The capital of Puglia, Bari is a lively port city on the Adriatic coast. Its cost of living is affordable against northern Italy’s big metropolises; the sea and the warm climate are attractive for students.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Engineering (computing, electronics, mechanical, civil, management)
• Architecture and design
• Automation and mechatronics
• Environmental and energy engineering
• Telecommunications

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

At bachelor’s level the programmes are mainly Italian; at master’s level there are English-taught programmes. English-taught ones want IELTS/TOEFL, Italian-taught ones a language certificate.

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 ADISU Puglia (Puglia 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 the Polytechnic University of Bari?

Applying to the Polytechnic University of Bari (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.
