Tuition fees for international students
Reduction based on GDP per capita PPP of the country of residence
If you are a student
- resident abroad
- resident in Italy, but you do not meet the independence requirements pursuant to art. 8 of DPCM 159/2013 as amended and your family members are resident abroad
you can request a reduction for the full-comprehensive contribution due for enrolment on study courses of the academic year 2026-2027 based on the GDP per capita at Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) of the Country in which you or your parents are resident.
You cannot provide an ISEE universitario.
The independence requirements are considered to be met if you meet both the following conditions:
- you have resided outside the home of the family of origin, for at least two years when requesting your ISEE in a flat not owned by one member of the family
- have declared an income of at least € 9,000 per year in the two previous years.
If you choose the reduction based on GDP per capita PPP of the country of residence, except for any exemptions, the amount of the full-comprehensive contribution is:
| GDP per capita PPP band | Amount up to the 2nd year of enrolment beyond the nominal length | Amount from the 3rd year of enrolment beyond nominal length |
|---|---|---|
| GDP per capita PPP less or equal to Euro 26,000.00 | Euro 500.00 | Euro 550.00 |
| GDP per capita PPP between Euro 26,000.01 and 34,000.00 | Euro 600.00 | Euro 660.00 |
| GDP per capita PPP between Euro 34,000.01 and 40,000.00 | Euro 700.00 | Euro 770.00 |
| GDP per capita PPP between Euro 40,000.01 and 50,000.00 | Euro 800.00 | Euro 880.00 |
| GDP per capita PPP between Euro 50,000.01 and 60,000.00 | Euro 1,000.00 | Euro 1,100.00 |
| GDP per capita PPP more than Euro 60,000.00 | Euro 1,500.00 | Euro 1,650.00 |
Consult the list of Countries with the indicator of GDP per capita PPP in the Annex to the Contribution and tuition fees regulation.
To the amount due, depending on the GDP per capita PPP of the residing Country, the first instalment must be added (€ 156.00: regional tax for the right to university study and the stamp duty, to be paid when matriculating/enrolling). Any additional contributions required by your specific degree course must also be added.
Exception:
If you are resident abroad, you can apply for the ISEE universitario if you meet one of the following conditions:
- you are registered with AIRE and married to a citizen resident in Italy
- you are registered with AIRE and your family members are resident in Italy.
Particularly poor Countries
If you or your parents reside in a Country included in the Paesi particolarmente poveri per l’a.a. 2026-2027 list, as defined by Ministerial Decree n. 176 of 24/02/2026, you are entitled to the exemption from the full-comprehensive contribution, and must therefore pay only the first instalment of € 156.00.
Any additional contributions, where required by your specific degree course, must still be paid.
How to apply for the reduction
