Visiting Students
If you are a student from overseas and wish to spend a period of up one academic year (12 months) in Pisa at our Department on a course related to the degree/PhD you are studying in your own country, you can apply for a place as a registered Visiting Student.
Visiting Students status
Visiting Student status is typically intended for undergraduate students ore PhD candidates taking some months or a year abroad. Visiting Students should be enrolled in a home institution. If you are a graduate student / PhD candidate at your home institution you will follow the curriculum of an undergraduate /PhD course while you are registered as a Visiting Student at our Department. As a Visiting Student you do not matriculate at the University of Pisa but your name is entered on the University’s Register as a Visiting Student and you will be affiliated with our Department.
