Introduction

Applications are now open for the first and single cycle degree programs offered by the University of Bologna, Italy to international students. The program is called “University of Bologna (Unibo) Action 1&2 – SAT for international students registering for First and Single Degree programs at the Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna”. The university has designed 3 grants and tuition fee allowances to encourage international students to enroll in its degree programs. Furthermore, the program requires students to have or take SAT scores for admission.

Note: The SAT, GRE and TOLC are aptitude and skills assessment tests that can be taken in authorized centers in many countries around the world and online (should this modality be offered by the managing institutions). You must register for the tests on the websites of managing institutions as you do for TOEFL.
