In this work, the expectations of the full detector KM3NeT/ARCA are presented for particular starburst galaxies signals. For the point-like search approach, we considered the most promising local starburst galaxies to be observed as point-like neutrino excesses: NGC 1068, the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Circinus Galaxy. In both cases, we provide the energy-integrated sensitivity for two ARCA building blocks in the energy range 100 GeV − 10 PeV. In the diffuse scenario, both track and shower events were considered. For the point like analysis, only νµ charge current events were taken into account. Interestingly, ARCA has the potential to constrain the selected phenomenological scenarios, providing evidence of the link between star-forming processes and hadronic emissions.
