How to apply to study in Italy from Uzbekistan

Data read from the sources: 15 September 2026

What documents and grades do you need to study in Italy?

Italian admission starts with pre-enrolment on the Universitaly portal: the university validates your application and the consulate then issues the visa. Italy normally expects 12 years of schooling, so an 11-year Uzbek attestat is usually topped up with a completed year at an Uzbek university. The university may ask for a Declaration of Value or a CIMEA Statement of Comparability. Italian-taught programmes ask for B2 and a language test; English-taught ones for IELTS.

Bachelor’s

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

One year at a university in Uzbekistan

An 11-year attestat falls short of Italy’s twelve-year expectation: the usual top-up is one completed year at an Uzbek university. The chosen university and the current ministerial circular set the exact requirement.

Documents

  • School certificate

    The school-leaving certificate, uploaded to Universitaly and shown to the consulate.

  • Academic transcript

    The grade supplement behind the certificate.

  • Passport

    The passport the study visa will be issued in.

  • Photograph

    Not checked yet

    Passport photographs for the visa and for the residence permit applied for after arrival.

  • Certified translation

    Certified Italian translations of the qualification and the transcript, unless the university accepts English.

  • Financial statement

    Not checked yet

    The consulate asks for proof of means for the stay and for the return journey; it publishes the current figure.

  • English certificateOptional

    Not checked yet

    For an English-taught programme; an Italian-taught one asks for an Italian certificate or the university language test instead.

  • Motivation letterOptional

    Not checked yet

    Not part of the statutory set; several English-taught bachelors ask for one.

Tests

  • Any one of these is enough

    IELTS 6

    Typical entry score for an English-taught bachelor in Italy. Not an official figure.

  • TOEFL iBT 72

    Typical English-taught equivalent. Confirm with the university.

  • Teaching is in ItalianOptional

    Italian-taught degrees normally require B2 and a language test at the university, unless you hold a recognised CILS, CELI, PLIDA or IT certificate. Not needed for an English-taught programme.

Minimum grades and years of school

  • 12 years of school

    Italian admission practice for non-EU applicants is built on a secondary qualification obtained after at least twelve years of schooling, with extra university years required where the home system is shorter. Confirm the current ministerial circular — this template did not read the figure off it.

  • 3.5 on the Uzbek 5-point scale

    An indicative attestat average. Italian universities publish their own thresholds and many run an entrance test, national for medicine and architecture.

Other requirements

  • A qualification the university assesses as suitable for the Italian degree you are applying to

    The assessment is the individual institution’s to make, and it is what the pre-enrolment validation records.

  • Pre-enrolment application on the Universitaly portal, validated by the chosen university

    Non-EU applicants who need a visa pre-enrol on Universitaly; the university validates the application and says which documents it checked.

  • Health insurance valid in Italy, or enrolment in the national health service after arrival

    Not checked yet

    Required for the visa and for the residence permit.

  • Declaration of Value, or a CIMEA Statement of Comparability, where the university asks for oneOptional

    The Declaration of Value is not compulsory in itself, but where the institution requires it, it becomes a condition of the visa. CIMEA or an Italian mission issues it.

Master’s

An Italian master takes a completed bachelor degree, and the university assesses for itself whether yours is suitable. The visa route starts with Universitaly pre-enrolment and ends at the consulate. The university may ask for a Declaration of Value or a CIMEA statement. English-taught programmes usually want IELTS 6.0–6.5, Italian-taught ones B2.

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

Straight into the first year

A completed bachelor degree lets you apply directly; the twelve-year school rule does not apply at master level.
