Hey Serra, your website and YouTube channel is exactly what students like me are seeking for.
I decided to go for University of Messina in 2023..
I have a question: Why it is called Single Cycle Degree, what does that mean?
Process of admission in Messina is complicated as compared to other universities like pre evaluation, pre acceptance letter.etc.
Can you please make a guided video for enrollment process in Messina because it’s different from rest of Universities.
It’s a humble request.
