FAQ
frequently asked questions
BEFORE YOU APPLY
Do I really need to have a certificate for English proficiency?
All courses are taught in English and it is therefore fundamental that all students are fluent in English, with at least a certification of a B2 level. For this reason you will have to provide a certificate, as stated in the admission guidelines (admission requirements).
You will not be considered in the absence of the certificate. The only exceptions are if you are citizen or resident of a native-English country or if you have completed a degree programme fully taught in a native-English country. For a list of the native-English countries see in the admission requirements.
Therefore, if you are interested in the degree, and do not have a certificate yet, contact one of the certification agencies immediately to take the exam.
Will the Emotion Master run also the next year?
Yes, the Emotion Master program will start every year.
ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED
In case I do need a visa, how do I apply for it?
You need to go to the Italian Embassy or Consulate in your country and apply for a type D visa (365 days, multiple-entry).
Detailed information will be provided together with the Admission Letter.
The EMOTION Universities will assist students by rapidly providing the required University documents for visa application. Unfortunately, each Embassy has its own procedure and may require further documents apart from those we have provided you.
To facilitate the process, we initially provide the Admission Letter with all the details of the course (and of the scholarship, if applicable) and all the details of the insurance we will provide you (if applicable).
Some Embassies might not accept your VISA request until 2 months before the course start date. If this is the case, do not worry, just let us know.
How long does the visa procedure take?
The duration of the visa procedure is variable, according to your home country.
You should consider 3-4 months and therefore it is fundamental that you start the process as soon as you receive the letter of acceptance.
Please note that you will not be able to join the program in the absence of a visa.
ONCE YOU ARE ENROLED
Will the universities help me with accommodation and how much will it cost?
There will be support by each University to find private accomodation.
How much do I pay for the housing?
The price will vary according to the type of accommodation you will be living in.
Accomodations will not be University residences and the cost of the rent varies according to the city and whether you decide to share the flat with other students.
You may want to consult dedicated website (e.g. numbeo.com) to estimate the living costs city by city.
Will I have the opportunity to learn the local language (Italian, French, Spanish)
The three Universities run courses for foreign students in their national language.
You will be able to take these courses if you wish.
Are there international student networks in the three Universities?
Yes, there are. You may wish to contact them to get support and information.
The Erasmus student network in Novara (piemonteorientale.org) will be happy to help you and make to part of their community.
