FAQ

If you are interested in one of the above courses for which you need to apply on UNIGEAPPLY, follow these steps:

1. Register to create UniGe credentials (username and password). Be careful to fill in the fields with the data exactly as shown on your ID (passport or, if not available, national ID card). In the case of a compound last name (surname) and/or first name (given name), enter all last names and first names on your passport (do not use dashes and dots). Be careful not to reverse the last name field and the first name field. If one of the two fields is empty on the passport, fill in using an X. Compiling with error can cause a slowdown of the services offered.

2. After creating your credentials, submit your application on the UniGeApply portal. Log in on this link and start by filling out the application. The submission of the application is mandatory for students applying for a Master’s Degree in Italian which is listed above.
 

3. Fill in all required sections and fields of the application:

  • Choose the course you want to apply for. N.B. You can apply for up to two courses on UniGeApply. If you choose a course in English as second course, check the details and deadlines on the dedicated page. Use the list of courses that will appear during the application process, you can view the subset of Master’s degree courses taught in Italian that you can apply to with the dropdown option on the choice of language. On UniGeApply there are all the master’s degrees in English and the 4 courses taught in Italian previously reported.
  • Verify or enter your personal information and the qualification you have.
  • Upload your ID and photo.
  • All necessary documents (mandatory and optional) will be automatically requested based on your choice, so first select the course and then you will see the documents to be uploaded in the dedicated section.

4. Remember to save each page of the application and then again at the end of the application process.

5. If the application has been completed and saved correctly, the green sentence "Complete, pending evaluation" will appear at the end. In this case, the application has been sent correctly and is awaiting evaluation. You will also receive a confirmation email. The evaluation may take some time, please do not contact the Office to find out the timing or outcome of the evaluation.

6. Always check to upload complete and readable documents. If any document is missing or incomplete, by submitting the application, the following sentence will appear in yellow "Missing/incorrect documents" followed by the indication of missing or incomplete documents. You will also receive an email notification. The application will be reopened so that you can correct and attach missing or incomplete documents. 

7. If the commission of the course of studies should apply for integration, you will be notified by email and can access your application to update the documents. Remember, once you receive your integration request, you’ll have three weeks to complete the task.

8. When your application comes to the end of the evaluation process, you will receive a notification email. You will see your application in one of the following states: 

  • Accepted. In this case you will see the green text "Complete (Accepted by commission)". You can also download a receipt indicating that you have passed the pre-selection and are eligible to enroll in the course. This receipt replaces the letter of acceptance no longer requested by the Embassy/Consulate;
  • Conditionally accepted (yellow sentence). You lack some curricular requirements that must be met before enrollment (e.g. you must take additional exams or an entrance test if the course has restricted access). Also in this case, you will be able to download a receipt stating your acceptance; 
  • Rejected (red sentence). You do not have the course entry requirements.

9. IMPORTANT: you can proceed to the preparatory phase for pre-enrolment on the Universitaly website (for the visa application) even before obtaining the outcome of the assessment (only in the case of courses taught in Italian, not valid for courses in English). However, you will have to wait to be positively evaluated on UniGeApply, in order for your Universitaly application to be validated and forwarded to the Embassy. At Universitaly you can apply for only one course of study. In this case, choose the course for which you have applied to UniGeApply. The Universitaly portal is external to Unige and you will need to upload all your documents again.

10. After your application has been approved on the Universitaly portal, you can proceed to the pre-enrolment phase of the course of study. The chosen course of study must be the same as the one in the application submitted on UniGeApply and Universitaly. All updates and procedures for submitting applications and documents will be communicated to the dedicated page
