University of Trieste

Overview

With around 16,000 students, Trieste teaches in physics, engineering, economics, law, medicine and the humanities. The city, home to international research institutions such as SISSA and the ICTP, offers a strong scientific atmosphere.

With its sea-facing historic sites, the university provides a singular academic setting that joins Central European culture to the Mediterranean.

The city of Trieste and student life

The capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trieste is a cosmopolitan port city close to the Slovenian border. The cost of living is balanced against the big metropolises; the seafront and the cultural diversity are appealing for students.

Faculties and signature programmes

The fields Turkish students often turn to:

• Physics and mathematics (strong)
• Engineering (industrial, electronic, maritime)
• Economics and management
• Medicine and pharmacy
• Law 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

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 ARDIS FVG (Friuli-VG 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 Trieste?

Applying to the University of Trieste (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.
