IMPORTANT: 
Extra EU students living abroad should also present an application to the Italian Embassy or Consulate in their own Country of residence (even if selection outcomes have not been published yet). They will have to ask information directly to the Italian Embassy in their country in order to know: 

• which is the documentation required for the application
• the exact deadlines in order to present the application.

Our office will provide you with the letter of invitation needful to issue your STUDY VISA just in case you will be admitted according to the selection outcomes.

For non scholarship recipient: please note that, in order to start the procedures and to obtain the STUDY VISA issuing, Politecnico requires an advance fee of 500 €.


For the foreign candidates: Please note that a statement (“declaration of value” - dichiarazione di valore) issued by the Italian Embassy of your country of origin attesting to the value of your degree must be handed in at the beginning of the Specializing Master program. The dichiarazione di valore will be kept by the Politecnico and will be returned to the student upon the conclusion of the program. If necessary, it can be given back to the student for a short period of time, with the prior deposit of a certified copy of the document. If the student runs into considerable difficulties regarding the dichiarazione di valore, s/he must communicate such difficulties as soon as they arise to the specializing master office (master.universitari@polito.it), specifying the problem and the contact telephone numbers and e-mail of the Embassy. The specializing master office will contact the relevant Consular Representative in order to try and speed up the process to release the required document.  Those who arrive in Italy without the dichiarazione di valore and without having previously communicated the situation to the specializing master office will not be able to enrol at Politecnico di Torino. 
Politecnico di Torino will verify the authenticity of the dichiarazione di valore presented by the student before enrolment.
