University of Rome Tor Vergata

Overview

With around 33,000 students, Tor Vergata is smaller and more campus-focused than Sapienza. It is known above all in economics-management, engineering, medicine and the basic sciences; its research collaborations are strong.

Gathered on a single broad campus, its site offers a practical setting for student life and for access to academic facilities.

The city of Rome and student life

The capital of Lazio and of Italy, Rome is a metropolis where culture and career opportunities concentrate. As the Tor Vergata campus is outside the city centre, the housing options around it can be more affordable than in the centre; it is linked to the centre by public transport.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Economics and management (strong, with many English-taught programmes),
• Engineering (computing, mechanical, civil, management),
• Medicine and surgery, health sciences,
• The basic sciences and law,
• The humanities.

The English-taught programmes open the door for international students to apply without an Italian precondition.

Language of instruction and language conditions

Most programmes are in Italian; a growing number are 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; low-income students can be largely exempted. The regional grant agency DiSCo Lazio (Lazio 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 Rome Tor Vergata?

Applying to the University of Rome Tor Vergata (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.
