University of Foggia

Overview

With around 11,000 students, UniFG teaches in agri-food sciences, medicine, veterinary science, economics, law and the humanities. It is linked to the region’s strong farming economy.

As a young and developing university, UniFG stands out for its applied programmes and its regional collaborations.

The city of Foggia and student life

In Puglia, Foggia is a farming and transport centre on the fertile Tavoliere plain. The cost of living is affordable; its closeness to the Adriatic coast and to the Gargano is an advantage.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Agriculture and food sciences (strong)
• Medicine and health sciences
• Veterinary science
• Economics and law
• The humanities

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 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 University of Foggia?

Applying to the University of Foggia (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.
