1. Pre-Enrollment at the University of Trieste – Foreign students needing a VISA and Living Abroad
Pre-Enrollment Procedure (click on English Version)
Please remind that if you are a foreign student needing a VISA and living abroad, you MUST submit a pre-enrollment at the competent diplomatic/consular Missions of your country.
The fundamental step to get a VISA is to apply for pre-enrollment to the Italian Embassy/Consulate in your country, by mid July. Please book an appointment with the Italian Embassy in due advance, you may fail to pre-enroll for lack of free appointments.
You are encouraged to apply as soon as possible (preparing all documents and get an appointment takes time): it is sufficient to have applied for the selection procedure. In any case, it is mandatory to apply to pre-enrollment: we cannot accept your application if pre-enrollment deadline expired and you have not applied to the embassy (this is particularly the case for applications in the second selection phase)! Please refer to the Italian Embassy of your country for the pre-enrollment procedures.
If you need help in this respect, please contact via e-mail the international student office, writing to international.students@amm.units.it. Please specify that you ask help for the master program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in the subject of the e-mail.
