Can I immigrate to study in Italy?

Studying in European countries has become a choice for many students, and studying in Italy is the most popular one. Italian higher education has a long history and the cost of studying abroad is low. It is the country with the lowest cost of studying abroad among the seven economic powers in the world, and students can even apply for student subsidies.

Quality study abroad program

In order to welcome students from China, the Italian government formulated the "Kelpolo Plan" in 2004. More than 50 famous public universities have specially made plans for international students from China. China high school graduates can take a three-year undergraduate course, and undergraduates can take a two-year master's degree. In 2008, the Italian government launched the "Turandot Plan" in conjunction with nearly 100 well-known universities, specifically targeting students majoring in art, music, fine arts and design in China.

Italian immigrants studying abroad

The Italian government's decree on skilled migration also involves international students. After getting the diploma, international students can find a job in Italy, but at least they must have a three-year undergraduate degree or above from a regular Italian university. When the government revised the unified immigration law, it proposed to encourage skilled immigrants, but only those with high academic qualifications were attracted. International students who are concerned about finding a job after graduation can apply to change the type of residence permit, and the study residence permit can be changed to a work residence permit or a freelance residence permit. Previously, it was relatively easy for graduate students and doctoral students to change their residence permits. Now the government allows undergraduates to change their residence permits, and non-European immigrants with second degrees are more popular. The government also stressed in the new law that in order to attract more foreign high-tech talents, the law no longer requires the Ministry of Education to certify academic qualifications, and applicants only need to simply state their academic qualifications and hand them over to Italian embassies and consulates abroad for verification. In addition, the new law also removes the quota restrictions on entry visas and residence permits for international students to attract more foreign students.
