Italy is a wonderful country where life moves at its own unique, relaxed pace.
An exceptional lifestyle
Studying in Italy is not just about education, but also everyday life in cities full of character, great weather, culture and a lifestyle that is hard to experience anywhere else.
Low tuition fees
At public universities, tuition fees usually range from 157€ to 3000€ per year. The cost of living in many cities is similar to that in Poland.
Top universities and programmes in English
Many Italian universities perform exceptionally well in global rankings, while degree programmes taught in English attract students from all over the world.
School-leaving exam results do not affect your application
School-leaving exam results have virtually no impact on the success of your application. Entrance exams, interviews or additional documents such as a CV, motivation letter or essay are often more important.

At public universities, tuition fees depend mainly on the family’s financial situation (ISEE indicator) and occasionally on the GDP per capita of the country of origin. For the vast majority of programmes, tuition fees range from 157€ to 3200€ per year of study.
157 € - 3200 € / year
Cost of living
Living costs depend primarily on the city. Milan and Rome are the most expensive cities, but they are still more affordable than, for example, Paris or London. On the other hand, many smaller student cities can offer affordable living costs.
800 € - 1400 € / month
Accommodation
The difference is particularly noticeable in Rome and Milan, as renting a room is often 150 - 300€ more expensive than in other cities. Halls of residence are also available, with prices varying considerably depending on the standard.
approx. 350 € - 800 € / month
Other expenses
For food, transport, study materials and everyday expenses, you will need a budget similar to what you spend in Poland.
approx. 250 € - 500 € / month
ISEE determining tuition fees
ISEE is a financial indicator that reflects the applicant’s parents’ income situation. By submitting it, you can reduce your tuition fees, while if you do not provide an ISEE, you will be charged the highest tuition fee, which is usually up to around 3200€ per year.
from 157€ to 3200€ per year
GDP per capita - impact on tuition fees
At some universities, tuition fees are calculated based on the GDP per capita of the applicant’s country of origin (this is the case, for example, at Sapienza University of Rome). In this situation, Polish applicants can usually expect to pay around 700€ - 900€ per year.
700 € - 900 € / year
Scholarships and support
In addition to reduced tuition fees, you can apply for regional scholarships and financial support. Their availability depends on the university and region and is often also linked to the ISEE indicator.
Amounts depend on the region and university
Student work
Italian universities make it possible to balance your studies with life outside university, so working is certainly an option. However, you should bear in mind that finding part-time work in Italy, especially without knowing Italian, is not always easy. Many students choose to work remotely (e.g. by offering private tuition).
approx. 8 € - 13 € / h
Applying to university in Italy
Find out how the application process for studying in Italy works, what DoV and ISEE are and how to get into university in this country.
Application deadlines
Deadlines vary significantly between universities and degree programmes. They most commonly fall between February and the end of June, but some programmes have deadlines as late as September. Bocconi and selected private universities also offer early admission up to a year in advance.
Important information
Applications are usually submitted directly through the university’s system. Italy does not have a single centralised process for EU applicants, so the requirements, tests, documents and deadlines must be checked separately for each programme. There is also no limit on the number of degree programmes you can apply to in this country.
How to get in?
For many degree programmes, an entrance exam is crucial, most commonly CEN-T, SAT or an internal university test. Sometimes a CV, motivation letter, portfolio, references or an interview are also taken into account. The IMAT exam is required for medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
Do school-leaving exam results matter?
School-leaving exam results do not affect the success of your application - you only need to pass the exam. Application success usually depends on entrance exam results or grades, or additional documents such as a CV, motivation letter, essay, and sometimes also an interview.
Language requirements
For programmes taught in English, universities usually accept IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge at B2/C1 level. Requirements depend on the university and degree programme. For some degree programmes, a language certificate is not always mandatory (e.g. medicine).
Document recognition
Once admitted, the university may require a Declaration of Value or Statement of Comparability, which confirm that Polish documents are compatible with the Italian system. The process can be formal and time-consuming, so it is worth planning it as soon as you finish school. The timeframe for submitting the accreditation documents can vary significantly depending on the university.
ISEE and tuition fees
Tuition fees at public universities often depend on the family’s financial situation. By submitting the documents required for ISEE, you can reduce the fee to as little as a few hundred euros per year. Without submitting the documents, the university will usually charge the highest possible tuition fee - however, due to the costly process of obtaining an ISEE, it is not always worth applying for one.
hat I appreciated most about EduWorld was their support throughout the entire application process. Before my final year of high school, I felt overwhelmed, but they helped me create a clear action plan, choose the right university, and prepare a backup option. They took care of the documents, kept track of every deadline, and handled all the necessary formalities. After I was accepted, they also helped me settle into university life and complete the required administrative procedures in Italy. Thanks to this, I was able to focus on my studies and preparing for my move abroad.
Studying Medicine at Sapienza University in Rome has been the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. I really appreciate the teaching approach, which focuses on understanding the material rather than memorising it. I've met people from all over the world, and living in Italy has been an incredibly rewarding experience, both academically and personally. I would definitely recommend both studying in Italy and working with EduWorld.

Thanks in large part to EduWorld, I was able to get into my dream university in Bologna. Throughout the entire application process, Przemek was always available, clearly explained every step of the admission process, and patiently answered all of my questions. After completing my first semester abroad, I can honestly say that I am very happy with my decision, both because of the student life and the overall quality of the university and its courses. Even during my first months in Italy, I was able to contact EduWorld whenever I needed help, and they assisted me with several issues I wasn't sure how to handle. At first, I had some doubts about studying abroad, but looking back, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I would also highly recommend working with EduWorld, as they made the entire application process much easier and significantly faster.
