University of Milano-Bicocca

Overview

With around 33,000 students, Bicocca was founded by splitting from Milan’s Statale and has stood out fast in research. The sciences, economics-statistics, law, psychology, sociology and medicine are its main strong fields.

Serving from a modern, gathered campus, it offers a practical setting for student life and access to provision; the industry and research collaborations are strong.

The city of Milan and student life

The capital of Lombardy, Milan is Italy’s centre of economy and finance; the work and internship provision is very high. The housing cost is above the Italian average, but the Bicocca district can offer more affordable options than the centre.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics, statistics and business
• The sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, materials, environment)
• Medicine and surgery, health sciences
• Psychology and sociology (strong)
• Law and education sciences

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; a growing number in English. 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 Lombardy DSU (Diritto allo Studio) 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 Milano-Bicocca?

Applying to the University of Milano-Bicocca (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.
