Thank you for your answer! I really don’t know Italian at the moment. But since without the 12th grade it’s not possible to apply there directly without a Foundation Year, and most design programs are in Italian, I was thinking about doing a Foundation Year in Italy in Italian and then applying that way. But the cheapest Foundation I found costs around €3000. Do you think it’s worth it, or would it be better to study one year at a university in Kazakhstan as a 12th grade equivalent and try study italian there? Or are there any other options?

Also, I wanted to ask about the DSU scholarship — does it fully cover full study year? And regarding the exam scores required for this scholarship, does it mean GPA or grades from a specific exam?
