Study Abroad
An International UniversityUnicollege offers semester- and year-long programs to students from U.S., Canadian, European, and international partner universities, as well as qualified independent applicants seeking a structured, credit-bearing academic experience within the Italian Higher Education System.
Students may choose to study at Unicollege campuses in Florence, Mantua, Milan, or Turin. Each location offers a distinct academic and cultural environment while operating under a unified institutional framework, academic regulations, and quality standards.
Yes. On-campus residence is mandatory for all international students. Where on-campus capacity is limited, placement is arranged in university-managed housing or in accommodations formally affiliated with Unicollege.
All costs include accommodation, semester meal plan, and the full range of services in the “Additional Services” section: orientation, dedicated enrollment assistance, inter-institutional liaising, immigration documentation, check-in assistance, welcome kit, student card, front desk, English-speaking staff, wellbeing sessions, multi-campus access, student life activities, institutional insurance, and an official transcript in English.
Tuition cost per credit is € 300,00. The cost per credit may vary depending on the agreement between Unicollege and the partner university, exchange, hybrid, and free-mover arrangements may apply.
Programs are organized around university-level courses taught in English within Unicollege’s patented 3A (Acquire, Apply, Amplify) academic model. Visiting students typically enrol in 12–15 U.S. semester credits (15 standard); each course generally carries 6 ECTS = 3 U.S. credits and is fully credit-bearing within the Italian Higher Education System.
A 12-step process: home universities receive materials, run internal promotion, submit nominations, students complete Unicollege application materials (academic info, housing, meal plans, visa, insurance), Unicollege confirms approval, and students arrive 3–5 days before the term for check-in and orientation. The full study program is then formalized through the Course Selection form.
Yes. Applications are open year-round; students are placed in the closest available session (Fall, Spring, Summer). Direct enrolment requests can be sent to francesca.serra@unicollege.eu. Independent applicants follow the same admission, documentation, and confirmation procedures outlined in steps 4–12 of the partner process.
Fall Semester: September to December. Spring Semester: January or February to April or May. Summer Sessions: May, June, July, August.
Upon successful completion, Unicollege issues and sends the official transcript of records listing all completed courses and grades. The home university evaluates and transfers credits in accordance with its own academic policies. Grading follows the Italian 30-point scale (18/30 minimum pass) with systematic conversion to U.S.-equivalent grades.
Standard duration is 90 days for visa-free students and 90 days or more for students holding a study visa. Students staying longer than 90 days must follow visa procedures. Unicollege issues all required documentation, including acceptance letter and visa documentation.
Through its university-to-university partnerships, Unicollege supports the applicability and continuity of financial aid awarded by the home institution, including, where eligible, Title IV funding, Pell Grants, federal or state aid, institutional scholarships, and other recognized funding mechanisms. Verify directly with the home institution which types of aid can be applied.
