The tessera sanitaria is the national health card which can be used to access the Italian Health System. Students have a fixed contribution (150 euros) which once paid would give them access to the Public Health care for a year (from January to December). It provides one with a general practitioner who can be visited free of charge for any illness whatsoever. Moreover, the tessera sanitaria also acts as a European health insurance card providing you health insurance and facilities all over Europe. 

Health insurance is mandatory for all students for the entire course of their study and stay in Italy.

It is extremely important to have valid health insurance, as it is also required in order to apply for a residence permit within 8 days of your arrival in the country. Perhaps you already have health insurance, which was taken out in your home country and validated by the diplomatic representation prior to your departure.
If not, the two safest options are:

In order to enroll in a course at the Tor Vergata University of Rome, foreign students holding a qualification achieved abroad have to submit a statement of comparability issued by CIMEA or a Declaration of value issued by the Italian competent authority.

Comparability refers to identifying the level of the foreign qualification based on the framework established by the Bologna Process and on the EQF (European Qualifications Framework). This does not ratify the formal recognition at University of Rome. However, it is a useful indicator for the evaluation of the qualification for the purpose of gaining access to higher education.

Bachelor's Degree Programs

• When mandatory, pass the admission test or take the assessment test
• Hold a diploma obtained abroad after a minimum of 12 years of education and which allows you to enroll in a university in your country
• In case of a school education of less than 12 years, higher education institutions may alternatively request:
  • The academic transcripts certifying the passing of all the exams foreseen for the first year of university studies in the case of the eleven-year local school system, or the academic transcripts certifying the passing of all the exams scheduled for the first two academic years in the case of a ten-year local school system.
  • An official Italian or foreign post-secondary study qualification obtained in a nonuniversity higher education institution in a subject related to the chosen course, lasting one year in the case of an eleven-year local school system, or two years in the case of a ten-year local school system, respectively.
  • Certificates from other Italian universities regarding the completion of a foundation course which compensates for the years of missing education.

The certifications for passing foundation courses can also be used in order to fill those additional requirements required for entry to the courses, which are different from the years of schooling, but in no case can they remedy the absence of a “Diploma of upper secondary school or other qualification obtained abroad, recognised as acceptable”.

A pre-school year can also be considered a 12-year equivalent if the attendance was compulsory and part of the curriculum, and also in cases where the pre-school program was provided with the teaching of reading and writing in the language of the given Country together with some basic mathematics.

Master's Degree Programs (two-year programs)

• Qualification obtained in a foreign university or a post-secondary qualification achieved in a non-university higher education Institute which allows you to continue your studies in the academic institutes in your country

Specific regulations are established for:

• USA qualifications (American High School Diploma), British qualifications, Greek qualifications and qualifications issued by Ecclesiastical universities located in Italy and approved by the Holy See (See Attachment 1 here)
• Italian qualifications obtained from schools in border areas or Italian sections of foreign schools, International Baccalaureate qualifications, qualifications issued from the Republic of San Marino, qualifications obtained from foreign schools in Italy or European schools (See Attachment 2 here)

This category includes EU citizens (also Italians), equivalent and non-EU citizens with a residence permit, who have a foreign qualification.
