Your International Success Hub for Studying in Italy
ILM (Istituto Linguistico Mediterraneo) guides international students end-to-end — from your first Italian lesson to enrollment, visa and settling in. One trusted team, every step of the way.
Doing it alone vs. doing it with ILM
The same journey looks very different depending on who's guiding you through it.
Moving to Italy is bigger than it looks
The course is the visible part. Most of the actual work happens beneath the surface — and it's where most students get stuck without help.
- Choosing a course and level
- Enrolling with the school
- Paying tuition
- Getting your certificate
- Visa & permesso di soggiorno paperwork
- Document translation and legalisation
- Finding real, safe housing
- Opening a bank account and getting a SIM
- Tax code, registration and local admin
- Culture shock, homesickness, everyday questions

How the programme works
Click a step next to the tower to see what it actually involves.
A short assessment before you enrol, so you start in the right class — not too easy, not overwhelming.
Your programme — 4 to 12 months
Four months is usually enough to cover the essentials, but the deeper the preparation, the stronger your chances of full funding.
