Overview
Why choose Italy
Italy is one of the most affordable study destinations in Europe thanks to income-based tuition and DSU regional scholarships that can fully cover fees, housing and meals. It is perfect for students who want quality European education without high financial pressure.
Income-based fees
Tuition is calculated on family income, so many students pay only the €150 regional tax.
Post-study stay
Convert your study permit to a 12-month job-search permit after graduating.
