No. VisaHorizon supports file preparation and consistency. Final decisions belong to universities, DSU/ADISU bodies, housing structures and consular authorities.
Selection depends on academic profile, field, programme language, requirements, possible tests, deadlines, budget and project consistency. The goal is to avoid random applications.
Universitaly is the portal used in many Italy study paths for pre-enrolment. VisaHorizon helps understand the step, prepare information and keep it coherent with admission and the visa file.
