Europe's largest state university by student enrollment

Shortlist a few and we'll compare them side by side and assess each one.

Founded in 1303, Sapienza University of Rome is one of the world's oldest universities and Europe's largest state university by student enrollment, with over 120,000 studentsβ€”nearly 10,000 of whom are international. The university ranks 111th in the QS World University Rankings 2027 and 170th in the THE World University Rankings 2026, reflecting a consistent upward trajectory. Over the past six years, Sapienza has climbed 112 positions in QS rankings, confirming steady improvement across multiple international metrics and research impact measures.

Sapienza's academic strengths span classics, archaeology, physics, and medicine, with research activity across a broad spectrum from natural sciences to engineering and the humanities. The university offers over 290 degree programmesβ€”more than 60 taught entirely in Englishβ€”alongside 80 PhD programmes and 80 specialization schools. In QS 2027, Sapienza ranks first in Italy for academic reputation among peers, international research networks, and graduate career outcomes, with strong performance in employer reputation and teaching quality indicators.

International applicants follow a dedicated admission pathway that varies by EU citizenship and visa requirements. Non-EU students residing abroad must submit applications through the Universitaly platform (typically by 30 June) to obtain study visas; EU citizens have different procedures and later deadlines. Upon acceptance, the International Student Office provides comprehensive support including residence permit guidance, housing assistance, and integration into the university community. The university maintains an explicit commitment to international student success with specialized services, orientation programs, and connections to Italy's international mobility networks.

How we work

From application to admission

01

Profile review and strategy

We study your academic profile, goals and budget, assess your real chances, and shortlist universities and grants for your specific situation.

02

Document preparation

We help with translation, notarization, your motivation letter, CV and recommendations β€” tailored to each university's requirements.

We file your documents, track status, respond promptly to admissions offices, and keep every deadline under control.

04

Visa, move and your first weeks

We arrange your visa, insurance and medical exam, help with housing and transfer, and stay in touch after you arrive.

What admission to this university costs

Our published prices are for China, where the process is worked out to the detail and the price is fixed. Everywhere else the amount of work varies case by case, so we quote after we have understood your situation. Inventing a figure before that would not be honest.

What the work covers for this country

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities β€” not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection β€” matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy, and preparing documents carefully. Any refund or re-application arrangement is governed only by the current service agreement and the circumstances of the case.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own β€” why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
