Non-EU students

Flat Rate

International students with a non-EU citizenship have the possibility to pay the tuition fee based on the Flat Rate, without the submission of any financial documents.

The Flat Rate is set on the basis of the student’s citizenship and area of study, according to three brackets. It ranges from €400 to €4.500 per year.

In case of double non-EU citizenship, the one used for entering Italy prevails.

The Flat Rate bracket in which the student falls is identified at the time of matriculation and remains unchanged for a number of years equal to the normal duration of the study program plus one year.

PLEASE NOTE:

The Flat Rate option will be automatically applied to students who have not submitted any financial documentation.
After opting for the Flat Rate, you can always leave it by submitting the proper financial documentation in order to have your tuition fee adjusted to the family's economic situation.
