Transparent by design

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

Can I manage my applications in UniHup?

Yes. Save programs to My Applications, track their status and notes, and compare up to four programs. My Journey also connects your document checklist, deadlines, scholarship tracker and budget tools. Submit your actual applications through the university’s official channels.

Can I keep my documents and deadlines together?

My Documents stores private uploads and tracks document status and expiry dates. My Deadlines shows relevant dates and offers an .ics export for your calendar. Always check official application notices for changes.

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.
