International Students..
University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” is very pleased to welcome all international students who are interested in making a mobility in our University.
INFORMATION ABOUT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS' ENROLLMENT (non Erasmus)
COURSES OFFERED
The International First and Second Cycle Degree Courses of the Vanvitelli University can be:
• Entirely in a foreign language, leading to a qualification issued by the Vanvitelli University
• In Italian, or in a foreign language leading to a double, joint or multiple qualification
The latter are courses organized with other foreign Universities that provide for integration of the curricula and structured mobility schemes of the students, with the mutual recognition of the training activities.
The issue of double or multiple titles implies that, at the end of the programme, students obtain not only a degree from their home university but also the academic qualifications from the other participating universities where they have obtained learning credits.
In this section you will find the calls for admission to access limited enrollment study courses a.y. 2023/2024. The call for admission is being finalized and will be published as soon as it will be available. We recommend to consult the page frequently.
