Courses with a limited number of places require an entrance test, and each call for admission states places, requirements and deadlines.
Erasmus+ exchange students need an Erasmus agreement between their home university and the Università Vanvitelli; the home university's international office sends an official nomination, after which the student receives application instructions.
Housing
The university is a partner of HousingAnywhere.com, an international student-to-student rental platform. Students arriving from abroad in Naples and Caserta can find and book a room there, often offered by Vanvitelli students who are away on a semester abroad. Using the platform is free, but an administrative fee is charged when the booking is confirmed.
