Once you have shortlisted the course and University, you will need to check for the course-specific eligibility requirements and deadlines.
If you are confused about anything, or have a doubt, you can contact University’s international admission helpdesk, and they are usually prompt to reply. Once you are sure that you are eligible for the course and meet all the eligibility criteria, then only move ahead.
In the next step, you will have to submit a pre-application request to your nearest Italian consulate or Italian Embassy.
The Italian visa consulate will forward your application and the required documents to the institute you are applying to. The Italian embassy or consulate declares a list of students who are selected at the end of the August.
