Programme tutoring and contacts
Students who decide to study in Italy often find themselves thrown into a system and a culture which are very different from those of their own countries; they must also deal with unfamiliar and, at times, complex bureaucratic procedures.
At our University they can now count on the Welcome Desk, a service designed for students, doctoral students and interns who have come to Milan for the first time, but also to those who already live in the city and need to verify the validity of academic qualifications obtained abroad in order to enrol on one of our courses.
The Welcome Desk aims at being the international students’ point of reference for all the initial necessities of your new adventure in Milan and at Unimi.
Welcome Desk
via S. Sofia, 9/1 – 20122 Milan
The office only receives by appointment. Book through the Informastudenti service by selecting the "International" category once logged in. Applicants who have not enrolled yet should register here as external users first.
