Introduction
‘La Sapienza’ dates back to 1303 but its architectural structure, as it is today, was inaugurated
in 1935. It is, at present, the largest university in Europe with approximately 150.000 students.
The Institute boasts 19 Faculties as well as the ‘Scuola di Ingegneria Aerospaziale’ and
‘Scuola Speciale Archivisti e Bibliotecari’ which officially hold the same status as a Faculty
and issue diplomas that are equivalent to university degrees. These are located both within
the campus and around the city and there are also regional sites in the cities of Viterbo, Rieti,
Frosinone and Latina.
Like other Italian universities, ‘La Sapienza’ has three main functions:
•
•
•
Student education
Scientific research
Training of new professors
The University’s Government consists of the Rector, the Academic Senate, the Board of
Administration and the Management Central Office.
Its chief structures are the Faculties, the Departments and the Institutes.
Faculties organise and coordinate teaching activities:
‘Corsi di laurea’ – 1st level university studies (lasting 3 years) which lead to a first level of
Diploma di Laurea(DL1) and
‘Corsi di laurea specialistica'– 2nd level university studies (lasting 2 years more) which lead
to a second level of Diploma di Laurea (DL2).
Departments are independent entities which deal with research activities in one or more
fields. This means they can include professors from more than one Faculty. They decide on
how to use funds and they have financial autonomies to Research Doctorate (Ph.D.) activities.
Institutes are entities within the Faculties which depend on central administration.
The University also offers Doctoral courses ('Dottorati di ricerca') including European Ph.D.
Programmes as well as Master courses which furnish job-oriented training to those who have
earned a 1st level or a 2nd level Diploma di Laurea (DL1 or DL2).
Foreign students who chose to take part in these courses enjoy the same rights as all Socrates
and Erasmus students.
'La Sapienza' prides itself upon its international dimension and maintains cultural and
scientific agreements and exchanges with many foreign University institutions, both in
European and non European countries.
Under the SOCRATES/ERASMUS Programme, 'La Sapienza' has stipulated around
600
bilateral agreements with other European Universities. The initiatives promoted under the
Socrates/Erasmus Programme cover 15 different subject areas. During the last years, students
mobility has deeply increased: incoming exchange students have reached a grow-up rate of 12
% per year and outgoing exchange students of 7,5% (period of reference: 1997-2001).
Furthermore the University is also member of several inter-university networks, such as
UNICA (Network of Universities of Capital Cities), CUM (Mediterranean Universities
Community), UNIMED (University of the Mediterranean), RULE (Network of Latin
American and European Universities), UNINET-ECA (International Network for University
Cooperation between East Europe and Central Asia), EUA (European University
Association), Indo Italian Council for Research and Cooperation in Science, Technology,
Humanities and Social Sciences, etc.
Note that the ‘Scuola Speciale Archivisti e Bibliotecari’ requires a previous degree or at least
two years of university studies. As for the Scuola Aerospaziale the enrolment procedure is the
same of the other Faculties.
For continually updated and interactive information on the ‘Corsi di Laurea’ and ‘Corsi di
Laurea Specialistica’, the university website http://www.uniroma1.it is an excellent place to
visit! It contains information on faculties, courses, professors and their addresses or
telephones as well as news on conferences and events.
Remind that a list of Faculty addresses, useful contacts and phone numbers can be found at
the end of this booklet.
1 General Information
Adjusting to a new university, with a system which is probably very different from your own,
is never easy and you should be ready to face a few problems and changes as you adapt.
Your main point of reference within the university is the so-called RAEF (‘Responsabile
Amministrativo Erasmus di Facoltà’), the Erasmus Officer at your Faculty. He/she will
provide advice and practical assistance, help you obtain forms to record studies as well as
other documents such as your meal card for the canteens. You can also refer to your RAEF for
information on courses, on times when professors receive students, on housing and for other
problems you may well encounter.
Remember, your Faculty’s RAEF can provide advice as to where to go and who to see, as well
as general hints and help! You will find a list of RAEFs at the end of this booklet
A very useful Vademecum, with detailed information on enrollment procedures, is also
included.
For information relating to academic issues, you should contact the Professor who activated
your exchange or the Faculty Socrates Scientific Co-ordinator in concern.
Moreover, detailed information on courses themselves can be obtained from Faculty
syllabuses, called ‘Ordini di Studio’.

‘La Sapienza’s’ campus can be accessed from several e ntrances, in Viale dell’Università,
Viale Regina Elena, Via Cesare de Lollis and Piazzale Aldo Moro.
The main university site can be easily reached by bus (310, 71, 163, 492), tram (numbers 19
and 225) and the B line of the underground (Policlinico stop).
In and around the university you will find travel agencies, cafeterias, museums, sports and
cultural centres as well as the university Policlinicum. There are also a bank and post office on
the campus.
1.2 Necessary Documents, what to do before and on Arrival
Before leaving for ‘La Sapienza’, you need to have completed and returned your application
forms and the necessary modules for Italian language courses. An Enrolment Form, signed
and stamped by your home institution, will already have been sent to your Faculty of study.
Similarly, you will have completed a Learning Agreement, detailing the study programme you
intend to follow.
In Rome, you will need to obtain a personal tax number, known as a ‘codice fiscale’ which
you can apply for, at one of the offices listed at the end of this booklet, on arrival in the city.
You will need proof of your status as an Erasmus student, which you should obtain from your
home university, details of the length of your stay, several passport photos, ID and your
passport.
Your ‘codice fiscale’ will allow you, among other things, to open a bank account and to have
access to the university canteens.
All foreigners, living in Rome, must register with the local police for a residence permit,
‘permesso di soggiorno’. This should be done within eight days of arrival, at the foreigners’
section (Ufficio Stranieri – Sala Soggiorni) of the city’s police headquarters ‘Questura
Centrale’. (See end of booklet). It is open from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 12 a.m.
It is a good idea to go as early as possible as it gets very busy.
To obtain your permit you will need proof of your status as an Erasmus student, a copy of
your Erasmus student card, the residence permit application form, ID and your passport (and
photocopies of these), as well as 4 passport photos and your health insurance documents.
Students belonging to ‘PECO’ (Paesi Europa Centro Orientale) countries (Bulgaria, Estonia,
Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary), also need
a visa in order to obtain a permit. For stays of under 90 days, there are two types of visas. The
C category is NOT renewable, while the D category, though more expensive, is. The
procedures to follow in this case change depending on your country of origin and you should
be sure to check on all necessary details well before leaving for Italy at the Italian Embassy or
Consulate.
Nevertheless, changes to the above regulations are expected and you should seek updated
information from Italian diplomatic or consular authorities.
Should your documents be lost or stolen, you should contact the offices of the 'Questura'
(Police Headquarters) or 'Carabinieri' (Military Police) in the district where you live.
1.3 Health and Insurance
Before leaving your home country, be sure to have made arrangements for health insurance.
There are a number of alternatives.
You should either, before leaving for Rome, obtain the E111, E128 (or equivalent) form. You
can then register at the Italian A.S.L (‘Azienda Sanitaria Locale’ ) which provides health
services in the various areas of the city. This also entitles you to registration with a family
doctor and access to special discounts.
Alternatively, you may be covered by private health insurance in your own country. In this
case, you should bring an official Italian translation of the policy, made at the Italian
Consulate or Embassy in your country, along with a declaration that the insurance will cover
you totally, to the E111 or E128 official standards, while in Rome.
In cases of urgency, every hospital has an emergency department (‘Pronto Soccorso’).
2 University Services
2.1 Teaching, Courses and the Academic Calendar
The academic year goes from the 1st of November to October 31st. However, the teaching
varies from Faculty to Faculty. For many it is split into two semesters, the first begins in early
October, while the second begins in March. In other Faculties, lecturing is on an annual basis
and starts in November. You should, however, check carefully with your particular Faculty for
precise dates (for the complete list of web sites see p. 42 of this booklet).
The Erasmus scholarship year goes from the 1st of July to the 30th of September of the
following year .
Your study project may require you to take examinations.
These are generally held in the summer (June and July), the autumn (September and October)
and the winter (January and February). Specific dates (‘appelli’) can be found on department
bulletin boards. Remember, you need to register for exams ahead of time.
Grades are given on a scale with a maximum score of 30 and a passmark of 18. After taking
exams, you can then obtain a form from your RAEF, certifying your results, to be signed by
the examining Professor.
To ensure examinations, their titles and contents, correspond with those at home, or are
accepted there, you may well have to consult with your Professors to make sure you fulfill
your home university requirements.
Teaching generally takes place every day, morning and afternoon and you should refer to your
particular Faculty to find out about timetables.

2.2 Italian Language Courses
Language difficulties are often a great problem for students arriving from abroad and hence it
is very important to make an effort and try and learn as much Italian as possible.
At the university, you are entitled to free Italian language courses and, indeed, very much
encouraged to attend them. You need to return forms to attend these courses before leaving for
Rome and, on arrival, can refer to your RAEF or the university’s ‘Programmi Inte rnazionali’
Office for more information, dates and schedules.
The courses are organised by the University and take place on the University Campus. They
are preceded by a test to evaluate your level of Italian and this is split into two sections, an
oral and written test. There are a number of different levels of language proficiency:
beginners, intermediate, higher-intermediate and advanced.
The courses themselves start at the beginning of the two semesters of the teaching year. Those
that start in October generally end in December and those that begin in February are usually
over by Easter. Note that regular attendance is required and you will need to have attended a
certain number of hours to receive a certificate at the end of the course.
2.3 University Canteens
There are 5 main university canteens (called ‘mense’) where you can eat cheaply and
cheerfully! Lunch and dinner are available and prices start from around Euro 2,58. Remember,
it is also a great way to meet other students and make new friends. To use the canteens you
need to apply for a ‘Tessera Mensa’, a magnetic meal card. You can apply for this card first
via your RAEF who will give you the necessary forms which you should then take to the
ADISU offices in Via Cesare de Lollis 24. Don’t f orget your ‘codice fiscale’ and Erasmus
student card, necessary to obtain the card.
The canteens are open from Monday to Saturday, generally between 11.45 a.m. and 2.45 p.m.
and then from 6.45 to 9 p.m, though opening times may vary slightly. Moreover, all save Via
del Castro Laurenziano remain closed on Sundays.
They are located in :

2.4 Disabled students
‘La Sapienza’, following the guide lines given by the Socrates Programme, supports and
promotes the integration of disabled students in the exchange programmes. The office of
reference at the University ‘La Sapienza’ is the Disabled Students Office (‘Ufficio Studenti
Disabili’) which is located at the University Campus. For further information disabled
students can contact either the International Programmes Office or the Disabled Students
Office (see the list of addresses and telephone numbers at the end of the booklet).
Note that the ADISU (‘Azienda per il Diritto allo Studio Universitario’) also handles with
student services, including assistance to handicapped students. For more information about
ADISU visit the web site http://adisurm1.sirio.regione.lazio.it
2.5 Libraries
Departmental and Faculty libraries (‘Biblioteche di Facoltà’, Biblioteche di
Dipartimento’ or ‘Biblioteche di Istituto’)
The departmental and faculty libraries are a good place to look for books in the specific
subject area and are located throughout the University. A complete list of the libraries with
catalogues can be found in the website: http://w3.uniroma1.it/biblioteche/bibalfalist.htm
On Campus (see n. 3 of the Map on p. 12) there is also one of the most impressive libraries in
Italy, the Biblioteca Alessandrina, founded by the Pope Alessandro VII in the XVII century.
The library houses about 1 million printed volumes, about 16.000 periodicals, about 450
manuscripts and 680 incunabula. It is open from Monday to Friday (8.30-19.45) and on
Saturday (8.30-13.45) website http://www.alessandrina.librari.beniculturali.it To access the
library and borrow books it is necessary to register and to obtain a card (remember to bring
with you two passport photographs).
Off Campus, but nearby, is the National Library (‘Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale’)
website http://www.bncrm.librari.beniculturali.it. The Library is open from Monday to Friday
(8.30-19.00) and on Saturday (8.30-13.30).
There are also many local libraries, a complete list of Public Libraries (‘Biblioteche
comunali’) you will find at the end of this booklet.

3 General Information on life in Rome
3.1 Accommodation
Room Swapping
Room exchange between incoming and outgoing Erasmus students could be a very good idea.
Our suggestion is to get in touch with other students of your University which have already
been in Rome in order to receive information.
Private Housing
Students who come to Rome must look for a room in the private market. When you reach the
campus, you will find, as in most universities, boards plastered with notices for flat-shares and
room lets. You can also consult local newspapers for adverts or refer to Estate Agents or the
Local Tourist Authorities which have lists of hotels, boarding houses and guest houses in
Rome. Keep in mind that you also will be required to pay a deposit of one to three months’
rent when you start renting the room.
Youth Hostel and Hotel
A possibility is to stay in a small hotel or at the youth hostel the first days while you look for a
room. You can visit the web page http://www.romaturismo.it, where you will find useful
information about Bed & Breakfast, Residences and Hotels.
Here are few handy tips to follow when you are looking for accommodation in the capital:
♣ Remember that finding lodgings in Rome can be difficult, especially if you are staying
for less than a year, so start looking early.
♣ Considering the city’s size and traffic, always keep good bus and tube connections in
mind.
♣ It probably isn’t worth bringing too many household items with you. Most students
buy the necessary equipment they find they require once here in Rome.
♣ Of course, you can place an advertisement. The best places to advertise are Porta
Portese which is issued on Tuesday and Friday and Wanted in Rome, an advertising
guide to Rome and Italy published every two weeks and on sale at newsstands and
international book shops.
3.2 Transport and Travelling
Should you arrive in Rome by airplane, to reach the city centre, there is a train which links
Rome’s main airport ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ with the city’s main train station, Termini. In
addition, another runs every twenty minutes or so to the city’s ‘Tiburtina’ Station . Both
Stations are close to the University Campus. The alternative is to take a taxi but this is
considerably more expensive. Should you arrive at Ciampino Airport, you should take a taxi
to the centre of Ciampino and then a train to Termini.
Travelling within Rome can be a major problem, and, as you will probably need to use public
transport very often, it is usually a good idea to buy a season ticket (‘abbonamento’) which
entitles you to use buses, trams and Rome’s two underground lines. It is purchasable at the
beginning of the month and should have your name and date of birth indicated on it. This is
generally a cheaper option than buying single tickets (BIT) which last 75 minutes and are
valid for more than one journey. They must be bought in advance at tobacconists, newstands
or vending machines and then stamped when you board the vehicle. Be sure to have a ticket
whenever you travel as inspectors do random checks which could mean a nasty fine if you are
caught without a ticket!
Buses run from 5.30 a.m. to midnight while the tube closes at 11.30 p.m. In both cases,
vehicle frequency is much reduced at night.
You will immediately notice that in Rome scooters are immensely popular. Should you
choose this possibility there are several agencies where you can rent them, like bicycles or
motorbikes.
Very, very few students own cars which are expensive to buy and keep. Moreover, parking is
a huge problem, especially around the university, and can be very costly.
In order to find your way, there is an excellent city guide ‘Tuttocittà’ which comes with the
phone book and contains lists of all streets or squares along with clear plans of the city’s
various zones.
Last but certainly not least, BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS!! Avoid carrying too much
money, important documents or items of value.
3.3 Cultural and Free Time Activities: Museums and Places of Interest
It is, of course, important to have some interests outside your studies and, especially in a city
as rich, historic and interesting as Rome, to make the most of what is on offer. At the end of
this booklet there is a list of some of the city’s main museums and sites but it is far from being
comprehensive.
It goes without saying that the city itself abounds in historic sites, monuments and places of
interest. There are Roman remains to be found everywhere, from the Coliseum to the Forum,
the Circus Maximus to the ancient baths of Caracalla.
Rome also has several catacombs which, although out of the centre, can be reached by bus and
are fascinating by all standards.
3.4 Entertainment, Interesting Guides and Publications
There are also many cinemas and theatres throughout the city and there are regularly concerts
and shows. You will find these are often held in the city’s many churches and, during the
warmer months, in the open air.
Some theatres and cinemas also have special days on which they screen films and produce
shows in original languages. On average, cinema tickets cost around • 7 but most cinemas
have days with special discounts.
One of the best ways to keep up to date on what is happening in and around the city is via the
newspapers many of which, on Thursdays and Fridays, also include inserts.
There is also a publication called ‘Roma C’è’, available at newspaper stands, which comes out
weekly and lists a wide range of free time activities.
Also available, from the tourist authority stands located throughout the city, is a handy little
guide called ‘L’Evento’.
‘La Sapienza’ itself has a university Theatre which often produces excellent plays and has,
furthermore, seen the performances of numerous actors of importance in the acting world. The
university also organises special concerts, held on Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons.
Concerts take place in the ‘Aula Magna’ of the University, for more information contact the
Istituzione Universitaria Concerti, Lungotevere Flaminio, 50 (Tel: 06 36 100 51) or visit the
website http://www.concertiiuc.it.
Moreover, there are various museums, ranging from the Museum of Plaster Reproductions, to
those of Physics, Anthropology, Geology and a wealth of others, within the university
structure itself.
There is also a chain of centres throughout the city, called ‘Informagiovani’ which are aimed
at young people and provide all kinds of information, from free-time activities to work, study
and employment opportunities. You can find a list of these at the end of this booklet.
You will find numerous Student Groups, Clubs and Organisations at the university. Among
these, for example, is ESN (Erasmus Student Network), which brings together and helps
students who participate in exchange projects, offers addresses and advice on life in Italy and
at the University, on accommodation, culture, study and entertainment. It also organises
parties, meetings and trips. It’s office is on the Ground Floor of the Faculty of Economics,
Viale del Castro Laurenziano, 9 (Tel: 06 701 945 72) and it has an extremely useful website
http://www.uniroma1.it/ESN.
Another Student Group is BEST (Board of European Studies of Technology) that aims
specifically at foreign Students and organises numerous interesting schemes and events to
promote collaboration and exchanges.
It is located in Via Eudossiana, 18 (Tel: 06 445 801 15) and also has a website at
http://www.BEST.eu.org/roma/.
CIAO (‘Centro Informazione Accademica Orientamento’) is an Organisation run by students
which offers general advice and information to students. Its offices, open Monday to Friday
and Saturday mornings, are located on the main campus.
As for sport, the CUS (‘Centro Universitario Sportivo’), located in Piazzale del Verano, 27
(Tel : 06 445 52 94) and in Viale Tor di Quinto, 64 (Tel : 06 322 01 96), is the university
organisation which oversees sporting activities and the grounds. All students enjoy access to
these grounds and to the many other sporting facilities.
There are, of course, countless other sporting locations; swimming pools, gyms, football clubs
and so on scattered throughout Rome. Some of these also offer discounts to members of the
university and you should check with the CUS for details.
On top of this, there are many beautiful parks where you can enjoy the fresh air and escape the
fumes, the traffic and crowds. Rome has a splendid Rose Garden and Botanic Garden, both of
which are within easy reach of the centre and certainly deserve a visit.
3.5 Out of Town
You will soon discover that many Italians like to get away from the city at the week-end.
Rome has, in its vicinity, both the mountains and the sea. Particularly popular resorts are
Fregene and Ostia, sea-side towns where, in summer, you can enjoy a day on the beach.
There are a number of bus services which provide transport to and from them. The sea-side
town of Ostia, which is also well known for its many historic sites, its Roman remains and
places of archaeological interest, can also be reached by train.
Italy is full of beautiful, historic cities and it is doubtless worth making an effort to visit them.
At a trains ride you can reach Naples and visit the ancient sites of Pompei and, further south,
Paestum. There are also fast trains to Florence, Venice, Milan and virtually all the main Italian
cities.
It may be worth applying for a student discount train card from Termini, Rome’s main station.
You must be under 26 and will need to provide proof of student status and some ID.
4 Life in Italy
4.1 Money and Banking
Italy’s currency is the Euro, the new European currency.
You can open an account at any bank though this can at times be a complicated procedure.
The simplest account is a savings account called ‘Libretto di Risparmio’(which you can open
either at Bank or at Post Office) though this will not provide a cheque book nor a cash card,
for which you need a checking account ‘Conto Corrente Ordinario’. In order to open an
account, you will need to have your Residence Permit, Personal Tax number (codice fiscale),
some ID and proof of your student status.
You will receive an account number, bank code and CAB (Codice di Avviamento Bancario)
which you will need if you want to transfer funds from abroad via bank draft. You will also
need to specify to which branch you want funds to be sent and do not count on the procedure
being a rapid one!
You will probably find that there is, in fact, a branch of your home bank here in Rome and
should consult the ‘Pagine Gialle’, the Italian Yellow pages, to find out.
Banks are generally open between 8.30 a.m. and 1.45 p.m. and some open briefly in the
afternoons.
You can also use post offices to receive money from abroad via International Money Orders
(‘Vaglia Internazionali’) redeemable at main post offices.
They are generally open from Monday to Friday between 8.25 a.m. and 6.50 p.m and on
Saturdays until noon.
4.2 Shops and Shopping: Opening Hours and Markets
Rome is full of interesting shops and markets. Opening hours vary but, generally go from
around 9.30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and then from 4 p.m. till 7 or 8 p.m. Many larger stores and
supermarkets also open late-night and, occasionally, on Sundays.
Markets are open only in the mornings and are an excellent and good value place to buy fresh
food. You will find them scattered throughout the city and there is bound to be one in your
area.
Rome has a famous flea market, held every Sunday morning, called Porta Portese. This is
certainly worth a visit and is a great place to learn the art of bargaining! As ever, watch out for
the pick-pockets!
There are also many small markets which sell clothes, antiques and a huge range of other
interesting objects held on Sundays in different squares and vias.
There are several famous shopping areas in Rome. The city centre, Via Del Corso, Via
Condotti, Piazza di Spagna, are known for their selection of designer boutiques and pricey
shops.
Also worth visiting are Via Cola di Rienzo, Via Ottaviano and the city’s ‘Quartiere Africano’
which boast a huge range of shops with considerably more affordable prices.
Rome also has a small but interesting Ghetto where you can find many interesting small shops
and taverns.
4.3 Food, Drink and Eating Out
The city also boasts a wealth of restaurants, pubs and bars which you will gradually discover.
Italy is famous for its food and drink so do your best to taste local specialities.
However, you will find there are also many foreign restaurants, especially Chinese, and the
area around the main station, Termini, is well known for its selection of ethnic and oriental
restaurants.
You will find take-away pizza (‘pizza da portare via’) is a cheap and cheerful meal and the
city is full of small pizza shops.
As for night-life, the areas of Trastevere and Testaccio are famous for their selection of
restaurants, bars and clubs. Trastevere is a particularly characteristic area of Rome and is
definitely worth visiting to enjoy the charm of its narrow vias and ancient buildings.
The most modern area of Rome is known as EUR and it houses many of the city’s main
financial and commercial institutes, multinationals and businesses. It is also home to Rome’s
largest Amusement Park, known as ‘LunEur’.
4.4 Climate

4.5 Communicating
Stamps can be purchased at post offices or tobacconists though the Vatican post Offices are
known for guaranteeing a faster service. They are situated near the Basilica.
There are, moreover, an increasing number of internet points in the city from where you can
send emails and faxes.
To use public telephone boxes it is a good idea to buy a phone card (scheda telefonica) to use
in public phone boxes, obtainable from tobacconists or newstands.
To make a collect call, dial 15 and ask to make a ‘chiamata R’.
To call abroad you must dial 00 + national code + local code + phone number.

4.6 Places of Worship

credos. Here below are the main ones though you will find many others around the city.

city in general and the university. There are many book shops where you can buy general
publications as well as books you may find you need for your studies. There are also several
excellent bookshops specialised in foreign language books (check the list at the end of the
booklet).
Be sure to make the most of the academic programme and to get acquainted with the different
aspects, traditions and methods of learning at the university.
Last but not least, be sure to enjoy your time in Rome and make the most of all that a
university like ‘La Sapienza’ has to offer.
