Shipping
The request for shipping (by courier) of the Diploma is made after completing the relevant form, accompanied by a scan of a valid identity document.

Shipping costs are paid by the applicant and costs €15.00 (within Italy) or €30.00 (abroad). The amount to be paid will be charged to your personal page (studiare.unife.it).

You can log in with the username corresponding to the firstname.lastname of your student email address - edu.unife.it (or student.unife.it).

Access to the portal is via SPID.

Foreign PhD students who do not have SPID can use their student email password.

Collection of diplomas for the years 1987-1998

Diplomas awarded up to 1998 can be collected in person or by proxy from the Ministry of University and Research.

Duplicates

  • loss;
  • theft;
  • damage

it is possible to request a duplicate of the original Diploma.

The request is made by sending the Duplicate Request Form, complete with the applicant's identity document, to dottorato@unife.it.

The duplicate will incur a fee of €72 (€16 for the application and €56 for the reprinting of the parchment), to be paid via PagoPa following the charge in your student area (studiare.unife.it).
