The orientation event is an essential opportunity for you to find out all the information you need to get your Winter Programme to a great start. You will receive your student card and information about the University and how the Winter Programme is organised. There will also be time dedicated to socialising with your new classmates during the Campus Tour and lunch. 

The orientation event that you should attend depends on when your courses begin. The start date of your Winter Programme is indicated on your admission letter, and the orientation event is always the day after the start date on your admission letter.

The orientation events for the Summer are: 

• Orientation event 1: 9 December, 2024,  9:15 am
• Orientation event 2: 7 January, 2025,  9:15 am
• Orientation event 3: 20 January, 2025,  9:15 am

You will be sent an email with the invitation to your allocated Orientation Event with a schedule and directions. 

Note: If you are enrolled in more than one course, you only have to attend the orientation for your first winter course.

Please note that schedules and syllabi may not be avaliable here until close to the starting date of each session of the Programme.

The Codice Fiscale, or Fiscal Code, is a tax code containing letters and numbers. It is a unique identification code issued by the Italian Tax Authority (Agenzia delle Entrate). It is a required code for many official documents, private contracts, online purchases and money transfers.

If you have a housing contract that lasts more than 30 days, it is very likely that the landlord in Milan will ask you for the Fiscal Code and in this case, you will have to apply for it.

Please read this page for guidance on how to apply for your fiscal code.
