The process for applying for a new student visa is done through the Universitaly portal. Non-EU citizens living abroad who are accepted to our Bachelor degree programmes must create an account on Universitaly and submit their visa application.
Politecnico di Milano will confirm the pre-enrolment to the Italian Diplomatic Representative via the Universitaly platform only if the entrance test has been passed and, therefore, the student has the right to enrol in chosen programme.
