spitality of its warm-hearted people.
As an international student, we know

Foggia will be exciting, challenging, aca-
demically rewarding and enjoyable. You

students and staff, helping to make the

Our Province and City
Apulia is a treasure trove of art, history and nature. A land of sun and hospitality,
it is located on a strip of land in southeastern Italy, in a strategic position at the
heart of the Mediterranean. The Province of Foggia is found on the northern bor-
der of Apulia, near Molise and Campania. The promontory of Gargano, the “spur
of the boot”, and the beautiful Tremiti Islands, a favourite destination for the many
visitors who every year choose an Apulian vacation, are found in the province of
Foggia. The numerous locations along the Adriatic coast offer many opportunities
for fun and relaxation, especially for beach lovers and those interested in taking
excursions through nature. Foggia is a land rich in history: archaeological excava-
tions have uncovered its first signs of settlement, from imposing medieval castles
to a wealth of religious buildings. Centuries of history and a range of charming
landscapes are just some of the reasons why Foggia is such a unique destination,
one where you’ll enjoy some truly unforgettable experiences.

Why choose the
University of Foggia?
The University of Foggia is a young and very dynamic
university which is developing a reputation as an insti-
tution with a distinctly global outlook, allowing us to be
at the forefront of influential research both nationally
and worldwide. Our wide range of international acti-
vities continues to develop new opportunities for col-
laboration and knowledge exchange in our efforts to
tackle global issues. We are ranked among the 12 top
universities in Italy, have received numerous prestigious
scientific awards—among which is the VQR (eValuation
of the Quality of Research)—and we were the first uni-
versity in Italy to receive the HR Excellence in Research
award from the European Commission in 2010. In 2013,
the University of Foggia came top for the quality of its
research among the universities in the Apulia region.
At the University of Foggia, we believe that we have
the perfect combination of satisfied students, friendly
university, high technology and groundbreaking resear-
ch, in an inspiring and nurturing arena, to help you truly
flourish. As a student city, Foggia is lively, rich in cultu-
re and easy to enjoy on a student budget. The city is
one of the most affordable places to live for students in
Italy. It has a rich heritage in sport, culture, social even-
ts, facilities and attractions to suit every lifestyle. The
university also has a dedicated international relations
department and Erasmus office for all your needs prior
to and during your placement or study, and an inter-
national student networking scheme to help you make
friends and settle in.

Visas and Immigration
Everyone arriving in Italy has to pass through Immigration Control. The rules and
conditions regarding entry are strictly enforced by immigration officers, but if you
have obtained all the necessary documents in your home country before leaving, you
should not have any problem.

1<CB998G5J=G5:CF#H5@M
If you are a national of the European Economic Area (EEA) or of Switzerland, you do
not require a visa or immigration permission to enter and remain in Italy while you are
studying. Your passport or identity card will not be stamped when you enter Italy, as
there is no formal time limit on your stay. Further immigration guidance for European
Economic Area Nationals is on the the following websites:

<HHDÚÚJ=GHCD9F=H5@=59GH9F==HÚ<CA9Ú9B
<HHDÚÚ KKKGHI8Ml=Bl=H5@M=HÚGHI8M=B;Ú=B:ClQQ<HA@

Most nationals of non-EEA countries will require immigration permission to enter Italy.
Please contact the Italian Consulate in your country of residence on how to obtain a
student visa.

13
The Italian law on immigration requires that non-EEA citizens planning to stay in Italy
for more than three months have to apply for a residence permit within eight working
days of their arrival in Italy. The residence permit application should be submitted at
the Post Office.

Citizens of the EEA are not required to apply for a residence permit but you must
register at the registry office (l’ufficio dell’ Anagrafe) of the town of residence if your
stay in Italy lasts longer than three months.

IFH<9FGIDDCFH

The International Relations office at the University of Foggia provides advice and as-
sistance on a range of student immigration issues. They are happy to hear from you
if you have any pre-arrival immigration queries.

accommodation
Foggia collaborates with the ADISU Foggia,
the Regional Agency for the Right to Uni-
versity Education of Foggia. ADISU provides
support to the study attendance and life of
students through the benefits of accom-
modation service and scholarship, granted
by public competition. At Foggia, most un-
dergraduate students from outside Fog-
gia spend their first year living in Universi-
ty accommodation and then live in private
accommodation for the remainder of their
course. Postgraduate students live in a mix-
ture of University and private accommoda-
tion, depending on their personal circum-
stances.

&CK7CGHC:@=J=B;
The cost of living in Foggia is relatively low compared to many other cities in Italy.
Undergraduate students should budget for nine months per year of study and post-
graduates for 12 months.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry offers a certain number of grants (Borse di studio del
Governo Italiano) to international students every year, or to Italian students living
abroad. These scholarships are assigned according to the student’s home country,
branch of study and course required.
Italian language knowledge is fundamental to apply for this kind of scholarship. For
further details, please see the Istituti di Cultura and the Foreign Affairs Ministry web-
site: <HHDÚÚKKK9GH9F==HÚA59Ú9BÚA=B=GH9FCÚG9FJ=N=ÚGHF5B=9F=ÚCDDCFHIB=H5Ú6CFG9l

You will need to open an Italian bank account to receive and make payments. Some
banks in your home country may have links with Italian banks that make it easier to
transfer money or to open an Italian bank account before you travel. We recommend
that you explore your options and make arrangements well in advance of your de-
parture. It can take several weeks to clear a personal cheque that is drawn on a bank
outside Italy.
Many Italian banks have restricted opening hours from Monday to Friday. Money can
be changed at a Bureau de Change (usually found at the airport or in the main bran-
ches of the banks) outside these hours, or you can withdraw money from the many
ATMs (cash point machines) in the Italy. Please bear in mind that you will need some
cash for everyday expenses in the first few weeks until your Italian bank account is
opened. We recommend that you make opening a bank account a priority, after you
have moved into your accommodation.
Italian banks usually require the following documents to open an account:

Gargano, the spur on the heel of Italy, is a popular coastal getaway
for Italians and tourists. It is a national park with long, sandy beaches,
great forests of pine and a geographical location that tempers the
summer heat with breezes blowing in from the sea on three sides, and
all just a 30 minute drive from the city.

Another great way to see Gargano is by sea. Its beaches, bays, coves
and grottos are explorable by sail boat and by motorized rafts and
boats, and visitors can find several guided tours from which to choose.
The sights are truly unforgettable.
