Everything you need to shortlist a program

UniHup pulls the scattered details of Italian admissions into one searchable panel.

Filtered program search

Filter by subject, degree level, university and admission type. Search across program, university and subject names at once.

CENSIS rankings inline

Each university shows its latest CENSIS position and category band, so you can weigh reputation without leaving the results.

Open vs. restricted

Instantly see whether a program is open access or numero programmato, with notes on the entrance test it requires.

Save your defaults

Pin your subject and degree level once — you land straight on matching results every time you sign in.

English & Italian-taught

Language of instruction is a first-class field, so international students can filter to programs they can actually follow.

Verified source links

Every record links back to studyinitaly.esteri.it and universitaly.it so you can confirm the current details.

Plain-language guides to the parts that trip people up

Italy's admission process is national, not per-university. UniHup explains the steps once, clearly, with links to the official portals.

01

Admission Tests TOLC / IMAT

Which standardized test applies to your subject area, how TOLC@UNI and TOLC@HOME differ, IMAT for English-taught Medicine, and the new semestre filtro for Italian-taught Medicine.

02

Document Recognition DOV / CIMEA

Getting a foreign qualification recognised for admission — the Dichiarazione di Valore, CIMEA statements of comparability, and when each is asked for.

03

Visa & Arrival Type D

The immigration track, phase by phase: pre-enrolment on Universitaly, the Type D student visa, health insurance, the residence permit, and the codice fiscale.

Regional scholarships for all 20 regions

Italy's right-to-study (DSU) benefits — ISEE income-tested scholarships, subsidised housing and meal plans — are run region by region. UniHup lists the responsible body and official site for each, so you know where to look for the current bando.

About the data

UniHup ships with a curated dataset of real Italian universities and degree programs, with general — not fabricated per-program — admission guidance. The national process guides are written from primary sources (CISIA, Universitaly, Polizia di Stato, CIMEA, the Agenzia delle Entrate) and deliberately avoid quoting figures or dates that change every cycle.

Because official Italian university data has no open public API, listings are maintained by hand and through a pluggable importer. Always confirm current details on the program's own admission notice before you rely on them — every record links out to where to do that.

Frequently asked

Is UniHup free?

Yes. Registering and searching programs is free. UniHup is an independent tool, not affiliated with any Italian ministry or university.

Does it cover every Italian university?

No — the dataset is representative, not exhaustive. It focuses on real universities and programs with verifiable source links, and grows over time. Treat it as a starting shortlist, not a registry.

Is the admission and visa information official?

The guides summarise official national processes and link to the primary sources, but UniHup is not an official channel. Rules change yearly; always confirm on the government portals and the program's own bando.

Who is it for?

Prospective Bachelor's and Master's students — especially international applicants — comparing where to study in Italy and trying to understand tests, document recognition and visas.
