Inclinados hacia América Latina is a project that has been created to promote the University of Pisa (UNIPI) within Latin America and welcome Latin American students who are interested in the University's second level cycle degree programmes.
Besides promoting institutional dialogue and creating partnerships with other universities and research institutions in Latin America, the project offers Latin American students the possibility to obtain a scholarship in order to attend a Master's degree programme at UNIPI.
The scholarship includes:
- Exemption from tuition fees for the duration of the two-year study period
- Free access to the University dining hall (for lunch only, Monday through Friday).
Enrolment procedure
Before departure Latin American students who wish to apply to the Inclinados hacia América Latina project must fill in the pre-enrollment form on Universitaly portal. Please follow the procedure described al the dedicated webpage. At the same time, students are expected to choose the Master's degree programme they are interested in. Please see the list of Master's degree programmes available at UNIPI.
Arrival in Italy
Latin American students who do not have an EU citizenship must request a Residency permit within 8 working days upon their arrival into Italy.
Enrolment at the University
In order to enrol in the degree programmes that have limited access (Admission exam to access a Master's degree programme), all students must pass an admission exam. In this case, enrolment can only take place after the exam has been passed. In all other cases, those students who have been included in the project Inclinados hacia América Latina may enrol into the programme by following the instructions described at the webpage Matricolandosi.
Necessary documents in order to enrol
- Original certificate with exams taken in order to achieve the foreign qualification together with an official translation into Italian;
- content description of the above mentioned exams written on the foreign University's official letterhead stationary – or, validated with the University stamp - and with its respective official translation into Italian.
Knowledge of the Italian language
If students of the Inclinados hacia América Latina project already have a B1 level Italian language certificate, obtained in their own country, they may attend and pass a B2 level once in Pisa. We have agreements with the Italian Cultural Institutes (ICI) in Latin America so students may take the B1 level exam.
Currently, it is possible to do so at the IIC of Cordoba and Buenos Aires (Argentina); the IIC of Montevideo (Uruguay) and the IIC of Santiago (Chile).
Those interested in studying a Master's degree programme in English do not have to have a certificate of the Italian language.
