This document is available in Italian and English on the Studenti Stranieri Miur website (studiare-in-italia.it).
• Important Note: Pre-enrolment at the Italian Embassy alone does not grant admission to degree programs. You must also complete the admission procedures required by the University of Palermo for your chosen program.
