You will find the pre-enrolment form at the address www.tourismmanagement.it
or as a link in the home page and in the “Admissions” section of our
website www.mtm.iulm.it.
3) Do I have to print out and post the form that I have filled in?
No, this is not necessary. The whole pre-enrolment procedure is
carried out online. When you finish filling in the form, press the button “Completed”
at the bottom of the page and your completed form will be sent directly. The
only thing you have to print out and post to us is the application report that appears
on your screen after you have completed the online pre-enrolment procedure.
This is a summary of the information you put in the sections “Student”
and “Level of education”.
4) When I go to the page containing the form I have to choose between two alternatives:
sign in and log in. Which alternative should I choose?
If this is your first entry to the form you must register. To do this, fill in the
boxes you see in the “Apply now” area and click on “Completed”.
At this point you have to choose a user name and a password. Don’t forget
them: you’ll need them to get into the form. If you have already signed in
but have not yet filled in the form write your login and password in the “log
in” area. This gives you access to your own personal form, with
the information you saved last time you logged in.

Yes, you do. You have to fill in all compulsory pages (student;
level of education; language competencies; motivations; other information) and boxes
on the form. Compulsory information is marked with an asterisk. If you skip any
compulsory information you will not be able to complete the form. When you click
on “Completed”, the system will show you which item of information is
missing by colouring the missing field in red.

personal data (privacy clause). Do I necessarily have to accept these?
Yes, you do. If you do not accept them you cannot complete the
form.

losing them.

to complete the form?

you exit the page. Remember to save regularly in order to avoid losing the information
you inserted. Every 60 minutes, changes that have not been saved will be lost. In
order to save, click on the button “Save” at the bottom of the page.e.

an error occurs and I can’t complete it. Why is this?

fields are coloured in red. If you have filled in all required information there
may be a problem with the system. In this case write an email to master.turismo@iulm.it or call us

10) On the “Student” page of the form I am asked for the “tax
code”. What is this?

code is an aphanumerical code of 16 numbers and letters that is compulsory for paying
taxes and all fees in Italy; without it you cannot pay or complete your enrolment.
11) How do I get a tax code?
In order to obtain this code you have to call or go to the Italian Consulate of
your home country and they will issue one for you in a short time. We suggest
that you show the Consulate a print out of the web page where we ask for your tax
code, so as to justify the request. Italian Consulates in every country
are obliged to issue the tax code to non – Italian citizens for purposes of
fee payment.
