Sapienza University of Rome
Explore Rome's wide choice of courses using the correct admissions requirements.
Sapienza offers a wide choice of subjects, but applications differ by course. English-taught courses may involve preliminary assessment, a programme-specific admissions notice and Infostud registration. Applicants who need a visa also complete Universitaly pre-enrolment separately.

What should I consider specifically about Sapienza?
When applying to Sapienza, 'preliminary admission' is separate from final enrolment. A pre-assessment through MoveIN does not replace the programme's own test or other published conditions. Use the admissions notice for your chosen course as your main checklist.
Compare the course content, entry requirements, teaching language and campus before looking at the university's overall ranking.
Undergraduate applications to Sapienza
Undergraduate entry generally requires at least 12 years of schooling and a valid school-leaving qualification. Some courses also require entrance tests, ranking or subject preparation. Italian-taught courses follow the Italian language requirements; English-taught courses require the English evidence accepted by that programme.
Postgraduate applications to Sapienza
Master's applicants need a bachelor's degree lasting at least three years and an academic background relevant to their chosen subject. A department may require specific modules and credits on your transcript. Similar programme names do not necessarily mean identical entry requirements.
How should I assess tuition and scholarship options?
Sapienza's 2026/27 English-taught programme information lists annual fee ranges for international students by country group. Check course tuition, regional tax and other charges for your enrolment category rather than budgeting only from the promotional range.
Academic merit awards and need-based support are advertised through different channels. Scholarships, fee reductions and student support in Lazio have different rules. Read the eligibility criteria and document deadlines for each scheme.
Do not count a scholarship as confirmed income before the decision arrives. Budget separately for tuition, accommodation, insurance, visas and initial settling-in costs.
