BEFORE STARTING

If you have finished high school in Italy, then you prolong enrolling in the Italian university as any student, without having to present the documentation of studies done in Peru before your diploma in Italy.

If you have completed your high school studies in Peru and if you have completed at least one year of university or if you hold a Peruvian university degree or a non-university higher education certificate, then you can register online at an Italian university and be able to apply for a career of your preference based on the time and other requirements required by the degree and the Italian university. If you are a Peruvian graduate, you can enroll in a Master’s in Italy by following the requirements indicated in each degree program.

If you have a Peruvian title and you want to validate it in Italy in order to work, then you can consult the article Academic Recognition.

Below we explain, in a general way, the mandatory documents necessary to enroll in an Italian university if you have Peruvian study documents.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS

(Indicate that it is for study abroad).

Once all your documents have been apostilled by RR.EE. you will have to translate them ONLY in the Offices authorized by the IICLIma.  Finally, you will have to order an ONLINE APPOINTMENT on the page of the IICLima and be able to legalize your documents. Only those who wish to apply for a Study Visa do not need to apply for an online appointment.
