BIOLOGY FOR ONE-HEALTH

Pre-Enrollement

Introduction to the enrolment process

The Bachelor’s Degree Course in “Biology for One-Health” is part of the International Catalogue of the University of Napoli Federico II. The Course is taught in English and is open to Italian, EU and non-EU students (maximum 75 students: 30 Non-EU students and 45 EU and Italian students).

The information for enrolment is reported below.

Pre-enrolment (only for non-EU students)

The pre-enrolment phase takes place online and culminates in receiving a pre-acceptance letter, required to obtain the entry visa for studying in Italy at the Italian Embassy/Consulate of the student’s Nation. Holding a visa is a prerequisite for enrolment.

Non-EU candidates must apply through the Universitaly website (www.universitaly.it), the only gateway for obtaining a visa to study in Italy after registration. Applicants must indicate the University of Naples Federico II, choose the Bachelor’s Degree Course in “Biology for One-Health” (Class L13) and specify the Embassy/Consulate where they will apply for the visa. They must upload all the following required documents for the pre-acceptance selection:

• Passport
• Updated Curriculum Vitae
• High School Degree Certificate (prospective students should have obtained the High School Diploma after at least 12 years of pre-university education)
• Certificate of English language proficiency (at least B2 level)
• Letter/Letters of recommendation (optional, but useful for a positive assessment)

Once the application period on the Universitaly platform is over, non-EU candidates will be interviewed to test the personal preparation about logical ability and basic scientific knowledge. The candidates will receive an e-mail (at the same address indicated on the Universitaly pre-application), which will serve as official convocation and notification, with details about the interview. Only at the end of this procedure, after the publication of the final ranking list on the Biology Department (www.dipartimentodibiologia.unina.it), the Pre-Acceptance Letter for winners and successful candidates will be uploaded on the Universitaly website and the pre-application can be validated and sent to the Embassy/Consulate. From this moment the winners can start the process of visa issuing. The status of actual students is not assumed; therefore, the University of Naples Federico II is not responsible for managing the visa appointments and cannot interact with Embassy/Consulate.

NB: Pay attention that the pre-applications on the Universitaly platform will remain in no-validated status until the interviewed will be concluded.
