Destination
Admission to universities in Italy
Program selection, document preparation, Universitaly, visa guidance, and careful grant applications.
Important requirement
Italy requires confirmation of 12 years of education
For graduates of an 11-year school in Kazakhstan, the application path must be selected individually: foundation, one year of bachelor study, college, or a school with a 12-year track.
12 years of education
Three scenarios must be checked before submission
Italian applications work best when the student’s education history is prepared correctly for university and consular requirements.
11 years of school + foundation
Useful when the graduate needs to cover the missing year before bachelor studies in Italy.
11 years of school + 1 bachelor year
A possible path through already started higher education in another country if the documents fit.
12-year school or college
NIS, international school, or college may cover the 12-year requirement, but documents still need program-level review.
Grants, paperwork, and timing
Strong opportunities, no false guarantees
Italy is strong in grants, English-language programs, and flexible tuition. It must be shown as an opportunity, not a guaranteed result.
500+ programs in English
English-language programs exist for bachelor, master, and PhD levels; the exact option is still checked for the student.
Tuition from 156 EUR
Low tuition is possible, but depends on the university, program, and student financial profile.
Scholarships up to 7000 EUR per year
EEC helps prepare the application, but the decision stays with the university or grant committee.

GPA
Language and academic level
This is not a universal rule for every program, but a guide for preliminary review: language, GPA, and level are checked with the specific university.
Bachelor
IELTS 5.5+ / TOEFL preferred
Useful for initial review, but requirements depend on the program and language.
Master
IELTS 6.0 preferred
For master programs, language, previous diploma, and field match often matter.
GPA
3.0 out of 4.0 preferred
Grades help with selection and applications, but do not replace university-specific checks.
