University of Sassari

Overview

With around 13,000 students, UniSS teaches in medicine, veterinary science, agriculture, law, economics, the sciences and the humanities. It stands out for its applied programmes linked to the island’s farming and livestock.

With its storied history and regional importance, the university is the principal academic institution serving the northern half of Sardinia.

The city of Sassari and student life

In Sardinia, Sassari is the island’s second-largest city; it is close to the coast and to the historic centre. The cost of living is affordable against the mainland; the outdoors and the beaches are a further advantage for students.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Medicine and surgery, pharmacy
• Veterinary science
• Agriculture and food sciences
• Law and economics
• The sciences and 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 ERSU Sassari (Sardinia DSU) regional grant agency 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 Sassari?

Applying to the University of Sassari (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.
