University of Macerata Italy Scholarship Admissions 2027–2028 Full Process Explained
The University of Macerata’s international pre-admission opportunity for 2027–2028 is approaching in Italy, with the university announcing a November opening for prospective bachelor’s and master’s students. If your interests lie in humanities, law, economics, international relations, education or tourism, now is a useful time to prepare your academic documents and choose your course.
But does an admission application also put you forward for a scholarship? And which documents should you prepare before the new intake is fully visible? This guide explains the actions you can take now, the funding routes to watch and the official application sequence. The exact opening day and round deadlines remain unverified in the official material retrieved for this update.

01 Which Macerata courses should you prepare for?
Begin with a bachelor’s or master’s programme that matches your previous education and language skills. UniMC specializes in social sciences and humanities. Its subjects include history, philosophy, languages, cultural heritage, communication, business, economics, law, political science, education and tourism.
The official portal lists options such as International, European and Comparative Legal Studies at bachelor’s level, and International Relations, International Finance and Economics, and International Tourism and Destination Management at master’s level. Use these as starting points for research; the new intake’s programme entry determines what you can actually select.
My recommendation is to compare academic prerequisites before polishing your application: an attractive course title is only useful if your qualification meets its entry requirements. This guide concerns bachelor’s and master’s pre-admission, rather than a PhD recruitment call.

02 Can you prepare for Macerata scholarships too?
Yes, but no 2027–2028 award should be treated as available until its own call is published. Macerata’s latest university-funded international scholarship competition, for 2026–2027, offered 20 awards of €8,000 gross each. That closed competition demonstrates a funding route worth watching; it does not establish the next cycle’s amount, places, age limits or deadline.
Other routes identified by UniMC include ERDIS regional scholarships, Italian Government MAECI grants and Invest Your Talent in Italy. Each has its own eligibility and submission arrangements. Do not assume that a successful university application automatically enters you into any of them.
I would prepare an admission budget that does not depend on an unannounced scholarship. Allow for tuition, accommodation, food, travel, document processing and visa-related expenses, then revise that budget when a current award states exactly what it covers.

03 Which documents can you organize now?
Start with your identity, qualifications, academic record and CV, then match the remaining evidence to your course. The university’s published application guide is useful for preparation, but its retrieved version belongs to an earlier cycle. Treat the checklist below as advance planning; the 2027–2028 form controls the final upload requirements.
| Item | Prepare now | Final submission requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and CV | Check passport details and update your education and experience. | Upload the identification and CV requested by the portal. |
| Qualifications and transcripts | Request clear certificates and academic records from your institution. | Follow the selected course’s qualification and provisional-document rules. |
| Language evidence | Collect existing certificates and evidence of previous teaching language. | Use the accepted evidence or exemption for that programme. |
| Reference and motivation | Identify a potential referee and practice explaining your course choice. | Complete any reference invitation or recorded interview assigned in the new portal. |
| Translations and qualification recognition | Identify documents needing translation and investigate processing times. | Meet the separate authentication, translation and recognition requirements for enrolment. |
For final enrolment, UniMC lists qualification-recognition documents such as a Declaration of Value or CIMEA statements, with alternatives depending on the qualification and study level. An initial academic assessment is a different stage from submitting the authenticated documents needed to complete enrolment.
I recommend investigating those services early, while establishing which route your qualification actually needs before paying for it.

04 How will the Macerata application process work?
University pre-admission comes first for visa-seeking applicants; scholarship and visa procedures require their own actions. Follow the sequence below as the new cycle becomes available.
- Choose your course. Read the official UniMC programme catalogue, then identify the academic and language requirements.
- Use UniMC’s official application portal. Open apply.unimc.it, select the correct academic year and read its round calendar before completing the required tasks and €20 payment.
- Resolve any conflicting instructions before submission. The current visa-seeking admissions page allows one programme, while the older portal guide mentions two choices. Prepare one priority choice and use [email protected] if the new form remains unclear. If your course is absent from the portal, the admissions page directs applicants to its department.
- Track funding separately. Use the official Macerata scholarship page for new calls and follow each award’s actual instructions. Keep an eye on DAADScholarship’s latest opportunity updates alongside the official notices.
- After a positive assessment, complete the visa-related stage if required. Follow the applicable instructions on Universitaly. University approval supports the process; the Italian diplomatic authority decides the visa.

05 Questions to settle before you submit
Can final-year students prepare an application?
Yes. UniMC allows applicants who are about to graduate to seek preliminary evaluation. This does not remove the requirement to obtain the qualification needed for enrolment.
Is Macerata offering admission without IELTS?
There is no verified university-wide IELTS waiver for this intake. English evidence depends on the programme, and studying entirely in English removes the Italian-language test requirement rather than automatically removing English requirements.
Do EU applicants follow the same visa process?
No. UniMC has separate instructions for EU applicants and non-EU applicants permanently resident in Italy who do not require a visa. Having a foreign qualification and needing an Italian study visa are separate questions.
