Extraordinary measure for students with an Italian Bachelor's degree

To counteract the high cost of living, students with an Italian bachelor's degree will exceptionally receive a 16.5% discount on the tuition fee, (approximately three times the inflation rate measured in August 2023).

The tuition fee will therefore be € 6,260. 
The first confirmation instalment will remain € 3,000, while the breakdown of the subsequent instalments will be communicated shortly. 

Please note that the discount

• will apply exclusively to students with an Italian Bachelor's degree
• will also apply retroactively to students already admitted and/or enrolled who fall under the indicated circumstances
• will not apply in the event that students benefit from other forms of discount or scholarship, even if provided by third party organisations. Scholarships and discounts cannot be cumulated. 
• As for other forms of reduction in tuition fees, the discount will be deducted from the last tuition fee instalment

Important notes: Scholarships are assimilated to employment income and as such are subject to taxation. They are therefore to be considered gross of any withholding taxes.
All scholarships and tuition waivers will be deducted from the last installment of the tuition fee.
