The free movers willing to study or train at Politecnico di Bari have to:

Upon specific request, an official invitation letter will be issued only to the non-EU citizens who have to apply for a VISA for Italy. The regularly nominated students or the regularly accepted free-movers in the acceptance email will receive the access data to enter our webpage.

Students arriving in Bari must urgently go to the International Office to finalize the registration. All the incoming students will receive a Certificate of Arrival stating clearly the date of the beginning of their stay. This document will be essential to enroll. At the end of the stay, students are provided with a Certificate of Attendance.

Modifications of the study plan

If during the stay the student needs to update (add or delete courses) on the study plan, it will be necessary to fill in the Changes to the study plan and hand it again to the International Office.

Before you leave

A few days before leaving Bari the student must go to the International Office ask to issue the Certificate of Attendance and the Transcript of Records. In case some exams aren't regularly registered, the International Office will send the transcript to the address the student stated in the form and to the University Partner..
