CIMEA statements

CIMEA (Information Centre on Academic Mobility and Equivalence), official italian member of ENIC/NARIC network, manages Diplome portal for holders of foreign qualifications aiming at asking for recognition in Italy.

According to the education systems their foreign qualification belongs to, candidates could download the ARDI Statement of correspondence free of charge or apply for issuance of the Statement of verification and / or the Statement of comparability, upon verification by CIMEA offices of documents referring to their qualification and after the payment of the costs involved.

ARDI Statement of correspondence deals with general information concerning foreign qualification nature and rights in the relevant educational system: the statmeent is not required by our University to complete the enrollment process.

Differently, the Statement of comparability and the Statement of verification might be submitted by candidates to the International students admission unit at Università degli studi di Brescia in order to have their enrollment confirmed:

  • the Statement of verification is accepted instead of the Legalization of foreign qualifications
  • the Statement of comparability covers for the Declaration of value prepared by Italian Representations abroad

Request for CIMEA statements

Candidates can ask CIMEA offices for the Statement of verification and/or the Statement of comparability using Diplome platform fully offered in English language.

Information about the costs involved are detailed on the platform.

Candidates aiming to enroll at Università degli studi di Brescia can activate their account to autonomously manage contacts with CIMEA credential evaluators.

Statement of comparability for holders of international protection

CIMEA for Refugees Diplome service addresses holders of refugee status or subsidiary protection in Italy, that apply for the Statement of comparability referring to their foreign qualification, in order to enroll in Italian universities.
 
The service is free of charge for them and will be available from April 2024 onwards.
 
Our university accepts the Statement of comparability instead of Legalization and Declaration of value to confirm holders of international protection's registration in any study programmes.
 
Holders of other forms of protection in Italy (e.g.: Protezione Speciale, Protezione Temporanea Emergenza Ucraina, etc.) do not benefit from the above mentioned service free of charge: they should apply for CIMEA statements via the standard Diplome platform instead and pay the costs involved.
