Universities in Italy for International Students (2027): Fees, Deadlines, Requirements

Italy offers low-cost, income-linked tuition at its public universities and hundreds of English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes. Non-EU applicants apply through the university of their choice and the Universitaly pre-enrolment portal before applying for a study visa, and every public university sets its own annual limit on non-EU visa places.
