- Engineering
- Medicine

Students from countries where university entrance is possible after 10 or 11 years of study must show that they have completed all required examinations for two years or one year in order to complete the twelve-year program.

University programs in both Italian and English are available in Italian universities. Most English study programs (Master's degrees and PhD programs) are only offered at the postgraduate level.
You may be able to apply for degrees taught in Italian at some Italian universities, but you will be required to complete assignments and tests in English. Universities in Italy accept the following language tests:

7. Steps to take when you've received your acceptance letter
After the application procedure, there are a few further steps to take in order to study in Italy:
- If you need a student visa (mostly students from non-EU/EEA countries), apply for one.
- Apply For Scholarship
- Within eight working days of your arrival in Italy, register with the local police (Questura) to apply for a residency permit.

EU nationals (without an EHIC) and non-EU citizens can either pay for a health insurance policy before leaving their home country or obtain one as soon as possible after arriving in Italy.
