University of Aosta Valley

Overview

With around 1,000 students, the university teaches in economics, language and communication, psychology and education sciences. Its Italian-French bilingual structure is a singular feature.

Its position in the heart of the Alps and its small scale offer personal attention and a high quality of life; its closeness to France and Switzerland is an advantage.

The city of Aosta and student life

The capital of the Aosta Valley, Aosta is a small and calm mountain city in the Alps, known for its Roman-era heritage. The outdoors and winter-sports options are broad; life is peaceful.

Programmes and signature fields

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics and management
• Languages and communication
• Psychology
• Education sciences and teaching
• Tourism and regional studies

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Teaching is in Italian and partly in French; there is a bilingual environment. For Italian, CILS/CELI is wanted, and where needed French proficiency may be asked for.

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. For the scholarships and support provided by the autonomous region, the sworn translation of your income documents and an ISEE Parificato are needed. For detail see our scholarships section.

Which documents should you have sworn-translated for the University of Aosta Valley?

Applying to the University of Aosta Valley (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.
