In order to complete their application for admission, candidates will be required to pay an application fee of € 30 online via a special purpose payment platform when filling out their application.

The following documents must be attached to your application in order to take part in the selection process: 

1. Passport and/or identity card. 

2. Transcript of Records issued by the university of origin, complete with all examinations taken and to be taken and referring to each academic year of enrolment, with official stamp of the university of origin.

In light of the specified deadlines, students are requested to contact the Admissions Office at ammissione@luiss.it in good time should they require support. In case of simultaneous participation in a number of selection processes (other universities, scholarships, etc.), the onus is on students themselves to check whether the various deadlines are compatible with the above.
