Hello, so i applied for master in CS at university of trento, and in their website they said they will post the ranking list May 20th but i found nothing.

No email, Found no ranking list around the entire website, and nthg on the application portal.

I wonder where i can find it please ? Did anyone get it ? Any idea where they usually post it ? (I checked the news and the admission page of my program already)

And thank you so much in advance

My CentS is on 9th and I've everything else prepared for , and I want to apply for bs in comp sci and engineering (eng taught). Which unis will have there non-eu applications still rolling by then? Or is there a way to apply otherwise?

I have been trying to pay for my CIMEA application for a week now, and every day I open at 2:55 PM, and I spend 30 mins trying back and forth until I am told to try back again tomorrow. What do you mean we have to do Hunger Games for a service that is SOO expensive and necessary at the same time?! Like if it was free, I would understand, but I am literally begging you to take my money!! The deadline is approaching and I started to lose hope at this point.

Hi Guys,

I’m confused I mean why make the universities till now, what are the major changes that are requiring this much time?!!

Hi everyone,

Ca' Foscari published their ranking list. Before that, I got a reply that my application is ready for evaluation since I've passed the test. BUT, I'm not seeing myself on the ranking list, even though they listed even those who are not eligible or waitlisted. Anyone has the same problem? What should I do?

Hello everyone,

I have a specific situation regarding EDISU Piemonte scholarship eligibility and I would like to ask for real experiences or reliable information.

I am an international student and I have been admitted to a Laurea Magistrale (Master’s degree) for 2026/2027 based ONLY on my Bachelor’s degree. My program is a normal 2-year Master’s with no shortening, no credit transfer, and no recognition of previous studies.

However, I also hold a Master’s degree from my home country that was not used for admission, not recognized, and has no effect on my study plan in Italy.

My concern comes from Article 3(1)(4) of the EDISU Piemonte bando, which mentions that students who already hold a Master’s degree may be ineligible.

I contacted EDISU directly to clarify my case. I explained everything (Bachelor-based admission, and that i hold a Master's degree from my country), and their reply was:

>

They did NOT explicitly confirm eligibility or ineligibility.

So my questions are:

• Does having a foreign Master’s usually means EDISU eligibility ?
• Are there students in similar situations who still received the scholarship?
• How strictly is Article 3(1)(4) applied to foreign degrees?

My financial situation is fully eligible for DSU (low-income family), and I don't think i would be able to study without support.

Any serious advice or real experiences would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I've my CentS on 9th of june I baerly have like 18 days? What to study and where to study from? Also how hard is the exam as compared JEE? Pls help.

Hi! I am a Bachelor's student from India. I started applying to Master's much later than I should have, and because of my Bachelor's documents being incomplete (I did an exchange program in another country for one year out of three), I decided to go for Italy — late applications + scholarships, as I would need that.

I hired a consultant, and I paid him 20k INR as I was very much stressed in my personal life, with no focus and time to do the applications myself. However, the consultant, not being a complete fraud, is very unresponsive.

Sometimes he texts, doesn't prefer to speak on calls at all. Replies to some texts, then ghosts me, lmao. I called him yesterday, and I paid him on 27th April 2026. Here's the update:

1. Applied to 2 open access courses in UniBo.

2. Applied to UniMi, one course (I paid the appln fee additionally), and gave the entrance exam (which was quite hard).

3. Applied to UniTus through Google forms.

I had sorted some more courses at Uni of Trento and Pisa — not knowing that for Indian students without a valid visa, they were closed. Here's what set me off: he asked me for 42 euros each to "submit the application". Before paying, I double checked and saw that the deadlines are gone (in March). Now he isn't responding to my texts. I didn't pay, obviously, but IDK what's going on anymore.

Do you think I will make it in this intake? I can't afford to wait one more year... I really want to go.

On Reddit, I see so many rejections. I feel a bit scared, but from what I know — when you begin to anticipate failure, that's when it actually gets manifested into reality.

My avg GPA is 3.77/4.0 and an IELTS 8.0. I have minimal internship experience, but a best paper award from ICCCNET 2025, and LORs from professors of two countries... still, I see so many talented, educated people getting rejected.

Are there other countries I could do a master's in Innovation Management or Business Informatics from, under 30 lakhs in total? What do you think I should do?

Hey guys. I understand that right now Universities admission has been closed for many universities in Italy. What I wanted to request is if we could start a thread of Universities that are open for 2026/2027, and maybe even those that are yet to open. And please do not limit it to only well known Universities even those that less known, you don't know/reputable. You don't know who you are helping.

Hi everyone,

I’m an Indian student currently residing in Dubai with a UAE residence visa, planning to apply for an Italian student visa from Dubai. My father (working in UAE) will be my sponsor.

I wanted to know if anyone here has successfully applied for an Italy study visa through the Italian Consulate/VFS in Dubai as an Indian resident in UAE.

Especially wanted guidance regarding:

- sponsor bank balance

- UAE salary account usage

- sudden deposits in sponsor account

- Universitaly consulate selection

- overall approval experience

Would really appreciate hearing from people who actually went through this process recently. Thanks a lot.
