Hello,

I'm hoping to attend the University for Foreigners in Perugia this October but I'm a bit confused by the application procedure.

I was going to pay by bank transfer. I'm supposed to send them the whole €900 course fee, wait for them to send me a receipt and then send off the application form? Is that right? I'm a bit worried about sending off all that money, it seems a bit strange to pay before I've applied.

Thanks.

Hmm, this question interests me too!

Tina is our resident Perugia expert... let's wait to see what she says!

Hi Kaybe,

here's a email reply i got from them in May. It might have changed since, i don't know. If in doubt, email or call them, details below. Best of luck.

--------------------------------------------
You can register by sending the application form to the Secretariat of Italian Language Courses (by mail, fax or e-mail), and by paying the enrolment fee at the same time (750 euros for a three-month course, 520 euros for a two-month course, 300 euros for a one-month course).

The address to which documentation (application
form and proof of payment) should be sent is:

Segreteria Studenti Corsi di lingua e cultura italiana
Piazza Fortebraccio, 4
06122 Perugia- Italia
Tel: +39 075 5746284-266
Fax: +39 075 5746213
e-mail: relstu@unistrapg.it

Once payment of the fees has been verified the
Student Secretariat will send you a certificate
confirming your enrolment, useful to get the visa at the Italian Embassy in your country if you need it.

When you arrive at the University you will have
to take the entrance exam to establish your level and go to the Secretariat of Italian language Courses with your exam result to complete the registration procedure.

When I enrolled at Uni x Stranieri di Perugia, all I had to do was send enough money for one month of classes, sort of like a deposit, because you can pay for classes in monthly installments. I still marked on the application how long I was going (very important to do that!), and the enrollment letter they sent me showed the correct time period. I paid the rest when I got to Perugia.

Either way you'll want to wire your money to them first and then when you apply (I did it by fax), include the bank's wire receipt with the application as proof of payment.

Maybe this will help:

This is for the 2008-9 year

ricevuta del versamento della prima rata della tassa e dei contributi, comprensiva della tassa regionale per il diritto allo studio universitario, pari ad € 459,00. Il versamento dovrà essere effettuato come sopra precisato.

So I guess it's 459,00!

Ricciolina - is that for the degree program or the language and culture program?

What the OP wants is info on the language and culture program, which I found here .

Ohhhh.

I think it's for the degree program! (The one I want to do).

OP, disregard my post!

Thanks for all the replies. I almost know what I'm doing now.

Tina, when you say you marked on the application how long you were going for, where did you do that? That was puzzling me too I couldn't see anywhere to write it. Sorry, I feel like I'm asking a hundred stupid questions, I really hate filling in forms.

Hi Kaybe - ask as many questions as you want

On the application form in the section that says "periodo di frequenza" (period of attendance) which is how long you wish to be there, put the starting date and the end date.
(it's after the part about highest level of education, which is right after your stats like name, e-mail, address, name & such).
Also, you see the part with all the course dates, and check marks next to them? Just check boxes for all of the periods you will be there.

Application form is here.
