University for Foreigners of Perugia

Overview

Alongside its intensive Italian language courses for students from around the world, the university runs bachelor’s and master’s programmes in communication, “Made in Italy”, tourism and language teaching.

For Turkish students who wish to learn Italian, or who are preparing for Italian-taught programmes, the university is a central address for both language proficiency (CELI) and academic-programme options.

The city of Perugia and student life

The capital of Umbria, Perugia is a lively city with its hilltop historic core and its dense student population. The cost of living is affordable against the big metropolises; the international student community is strong.

Programmes and signature fields

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Intensive Italian language courses (every level)
• CELI certificate examinations
• Communication and media
• “Made in Italy”, tourism and culture
• Teaching Italian to foreigners

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Teaching is mainly in Italian; language courses are offered at every level. As the university administers the CELI examinations, it is a direct centre for those who wish to obtain an Italian proficiency certificate. Some programmes may include English elements.

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; low-income students can be largely exempted. The regional grant agency ADiSU Umbria (Umbria 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 University for Foreigners of Perugia?

Applying to the University for Foreigners of Perugia (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.
