Foreign students who wish to enroll in DSV degree programs or doctoral candidates, researchers, and faculty from abroad who need to spend a period of study and work at DSV can access various welcome services through International Welcome Desk. The International Welcome Desk is the primary service for learning about course registration procedures, visa application processes, applying for financial aid, and obtaining practical information both before and after arrival (International Welcome Desk). It is important to contact the IWD in advance of your arrival in Italy.

Additionally, there is the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) Modena, a student association at the university aimed at facilitating the integration of incoming Erasmus students through orientation activities and informal extracurricular events (ESN Modena).
