University of Naples Federico II

Overview

With around 78,000 students, Federico II teaches across a very wide field, from engineering to medicine, law to the basic sciences and agriculture. It holds a strong academic tradition in engineering, medicine and the sciences above all.

With its historic and modern campuses spread across the city’s different districts, the university joins its storied heritage to a current research infrastructure.

The city of Naples and student life

The capital of Campania, Naples is a lively city of history, culture and seafront. The cost of living is generally more affordable than northern Italy’s big metropolises — an important advantage for students.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Engineering (civil, mechanical, computing, aerospace, chemical),
• Medicine and surgery, pharmacy, veterinary science,
• Law and economics,
• The basic sciences and agriculture,
• Architecture and the humanities.

A growing number of English-taught master’s programmes opens the door for internationals to apply directly.

Language of instruction and language conditions

Most programmes are in Italian; some are English. Italian-taught programmes want a B2 language certificate (CILS/CELI) or the university exam, English-taught ones IELTS/TOEFL. Some programmes run an entrance assessment.

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; low-income students can be largely exempted. The regional grant agency ADISURC Campania (Campania 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 Naples Federico II?

Applying to the University of Naples Federico II (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.
