Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the pre-enrolment?
It is the aspiring student’s application for the admission to one or more courses at a university in Italy. The Free University of Bozen/Bolzano requires it to be done through an online procedure available from this page. Pre-enrolment is usually required for courses with a limited number of admissible students and a selection procedure. If you do not pre-enrol by the deadline, you will not be admitted to the selection.

Where can I find detailed descriptions of the courses?

What does “pre-enrolment via a dossier” mean?
In order to enroll at the School of Economics and Management as well as at the Faculty of Computer Science, you need to hand in a collection of documents, containing the report cards of your third- and second-last year of high-school and a personal statement. The pre-enrolment at these two faculties can be completed in two periods called sessions: The first opportunity is at the beginning of the year and the second opening of the pre-enrolment is during the summer months. The dossiers will then be evaluated by a commission, which then completes the official ranking of accepted candidates. Only those candidates accepted can then enroll in their course.

Do I have to pay to pre-enrol?
No, pre-enrolment is completely free.
