Asylum-seeking students who are at least 20 years old and wish to attend educational activities at the University of Pisa, for cultural or scientific updating purposes, can enrol in Single Courses offered within their Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree Courses, following a specific procedure.
Benefits and conditions
Students:

- can exceed the maximum annual limit of 25 CFUs established by the University Academic Regulations
- can take the exams up to 12 months after submitting the application.
General Information
If the chosen course belongs to a regulated-admission degree course, the reasoned request will be evaluated by the relevant academic body. In the event of a negative outcome, the stamp duty will not be refunded.

Virtual Budge
Starting from the academic year 2025–2026, when you enroll at the University of Pisa, you will find your virtual badge on the “Agenda Didattica” portal.
This badge will include your photo and a QR code, which will serve as your official student ID at the University of Pisa.
As for access to dining services, starting from the same academic year, DSU Toscana will replace the physical meal card with a dedicated app.
From the day after your enrollment, you’ll be able to access DSU Toscana dining facilities simply by showing a valid ID and providing your student ID number at the cashier.
A new app, MyDsu, will soon be available, allowing you to access dining services by scanning a QR code directly.
You will receive a notification from DSU Toscana as soon as the app is activated.
