Approfondimenti

  • The Italian University you are applying to may require a DECLARATION OF VALUE.

    *The “Dichiarazione di Valore” (DOV) is a declaration whereby the Consulate confirms the value of the qualifications obtained in South Africa, with reference to the local educational system. The “DOV” is neither an equivalent of an Italian qualification nor a comparability certificate. It will be up to the relevant Italian institutions (Ministry of Education, Uffici Scolastici Provinciali, Universities, etc.) to subsequently declare if a foreign qualification has a similar Italian equivalent: this is called “equipollenza” (equivalence/certificate of comparability).

    If you want to obtain a DOV, please read this page: DECLARATION OF VALUE
