University of Perugia

Overview

With around 24,000 students, Perugia teaches in medicine and pharmacy, agriculture and food, engineering, law, economics and the humanities. It is known for its storied academic tradition and its research infrastructure.

With its sites spread across the historic centre and its surroundings, the university offers students an academic setting both storied and calm.

The city of Perugia and student life

The capital of Umbria, Perugia is a lively, mid-sized city with its hilltop historic core and its student population. The cost of living is affordable against the big metropolises; the cultural events and the student community are strong.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Medicine and surgery, pharmacy
• Agriculture and food sciences
• Engineering and computer science
• Economics and law
• The humanities and political science

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

Language of instruction and language conditions

Programmes are mainly Italian; some are 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 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 of Perugia?

Applying to the University 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.
