Pre Departure
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR NON-EU STUDENTS APPLYING FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2020-2021
Please note that, starting from Academic year 2020-2021, the application procedure is completely web-based. Non-EU students not living in Italy are requested to pre-enrol using the online platform UNIVERSITALY (www.universitaly.it). Once your request has been approved by the University of L'Aquila, you will receive a confirmation email. After that, you will have to get in contact with the local Italian Diplomatic-consular mission for the visa request process. Please note that the university confirmation email does not automatically imply the issue of a study visa. If you don’t know whether or not you need a visa to study in Italy, please visit https://vistoperitalia.esteri.it
Overview
All students, both European and non-European ones, must be adequately insured against accident, injury and ill-health while participating in an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course outside their home country. Personal medical cover is required in most European countries, even those which have a public health system. You may also want to consider travel insurance, which protects you, your travel documents and your belongings while you are away from home.
The cost per person ranges from 200 to 250 euros per month depending on several factors (e.g. shared or private rooms, utility bills included or not). Students will receive detailed information by email about accommodation in good time before leaving their own country (usually in July).
Please make contact with Aquilasmus - ESN L'Aquila to receive support with finding a place to stay in L'Aquila (dedicated contact form is here: http://bit.ly/housingaq2019)
