My very quick enrolment at Ca' Foscari
The Moment
On 31 July 2026 at 12:51:21, I received the email I was waiting for: my enrolment at Ca’ Foscari was complete.
My degree is Languages, Cultures and Societies of Asia and Mediterranean Africa, China curriculum.
What surprised me most was how quickly everything happened.
From opening the application to fixing a small technical problem, paying and receiving the final confirmation, less than a day had passed.
I honestly expected it to take much longer.
The Resonance
The story actually started a few weeks earlier.
On 13 June, I visited Ca’ Foscari for the first time.
It was my first chance to see the university environment for myself and talk to the tutors.
I really liked it.
They answered my questions, explained things clearly and gave me a very good impression of the university.
The following day I wrote to Ca’ Foscari Tour to thank them and tell them how much that visit had strengthened my decision.
After that, the idea slowly became something real: choosing the degree, applying and dealing with all the practical details.
The Friction
There was one small problem on 29 July.
While filling in the online application, my secondary school was not available in the Esse3 database.
Without it, I could not properly complete the section about my school qualification.
So I contacted the student office and explained what was happening.
I sent them the school’s details, a screenshot of the error and the substitute diploma certificate I had received on 23 July.
The problem was fixed quickly and I could continue with the application.
The following day I completed the payment.
Then, on 31 July at 12:51:21, the confirmation arrived.
The Quiet
When I saw that email, my first thought was simply: done.
For weeks Ca’ Foscari had been a possibility, then a choice, and finally an administrative process.
Now it was actually my university.
Classes start on 21 September.
There will be Chinese, notes, studying, exams and an entire university life that I have not experienced yet.
The paperwork is finished.
Now the real part begins.
