NEXT STEP AFTER PRE-SELECTION (if successful): UNIVERSITALY

If your application has been accepted, or conditionally accepted, you can proceed to the pre-registration phase on the Universitaly website. Universitaly is used to submit the visa application procedure. The University will validate the application and send it to the Embassy/Consulate. The Universitaly portal is external to UniGe and you will have to upload all your documents again. If you are accepted for two courses, you will have to make a choice. At Universitaly you can apply for only one course of study. For more details on the documents to be uploaded, please see the receipt obtained during the pre-selection phase or our web page on pre-enrolment and enrolment of non-EU students (visa applicants) with a foreign qualification

After your application has been approved on Universitaly.it, you can move on to the pre-enrollment phase on Online services of UniGe. The opening of pre-enrollment usually takes place in April each year. The chosen course of studies must be the same as the one in the application submitted on Universitaly.it
