This website is dedicated to making it easier for Australians to embark on postgraduate study in Europe.

As well as providing a host of links to relevant websites in Europe and Australia ASiE also undertakes research and consultation with the EU Commission, European governments and a great number of universities and foundations. The aim is to produce and update as much as possible all information concerning grants and scholarships available to Australian students seeking to pursue doctoral studies in Europe.

 
 

Visa and Entry Requirements

Entry Requirements


As non-EU citizens Australians are required to apply for a study visa prior to leaving. Applications should be made to the  Italian Embassy It is advisable to allow a long lead time for acquiring your visa since the proceedures for processing your request may take some time. Also note that changes in entry requirements can occur from time to time so it is best to consult embassy either by phone or on its website for exact requirements prior to applying.
As with many other European countries you are required to register once you have arrived. In Italy you are required to report to the Questura (police station) within 8 days of your arrival in the country.

 

 

 

Essential Documents needed when you are studying in Italy

 

Once you have a visa it is then important to make sure you take with you to Italy the documents that will be needed once you arrive.
You should remember to bring:

 

  • A valid identity card or passport with visa, if required
  • Money – cash, travellers cheques, credit card, all of which should be kept safe!
  • Health documents
  • Letter of acceptance from the university
  • Documentary proof you have enough money for living

 

Any other documents required by the Italian university will vary depending on your student status, either as a full time student or an exchange student, and on your citizenship, so remember to check with the International Office before you leave that you have all the documents with you.
