In Italy, university fees can vary depending on the student’s nationality, the type of program chosen, and the university itself. Generally, Italian and EU citizens are free or pay a low fee, while third-country nationals may have to pay a higher fee. Italian universities divide the fees into three categories: “Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD.” Undergraduate programs are free for Italian and EU citizens. However, third-country nationals may have to pay a fee ranging from 1000 to 4000 Euros per year. This is also the case for master’s and doctoral programs. In addition to these fees, students must cover other expenses such as accommodation, food, books, and other living expenses while studying at a university in Italy.
