What kind of university is it?

Joining online flexibility to physical facilities, the university offers both remote and on-site study options.

How does online study work?

Lessons are delivered on an online platform; exams are sat at physical centres. The Rome campus provides in-person facilities for students who want them.

Degree validity and recognition

Telematic universities are recognised by the Italian Ministry (MUR), and the degrees they award carry the same legal value in Italy as those of state universities. To use the degree in Turkey, YÖK equivalence is needed; that process calls for the sworn Turkish translation of the Italian diploma and transcript. For recognition detail, see our recognition pages.

An important note for Turkish students

Fully online study does not, on its own, provide an Italian student visa or residence. Unicusano suits those living in Italy, or those who want a degree remotely; for validity in Turkey, YÖK equivalence and a sworn translation are needed.

Tuition fees

At telematic universities the fee is a fixed annual amount set by programme, not the ISEE-tiered system of the state universities. Fees vary by institution and programme; instalment options are usually offered. For current fees, check the university’s official site.

Which documents should you have sworn-translated for Niccolò Cusano University (Unicusano)?

Applying to Niccolò Cusano University (Unicusano) (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.
