COST OF STUDYING IN ITALY
Italy has become one of the top travel destinations for international students in recent years. Italy’s redesigned educational system, which has become one of the best standards in the world, as well as the government’s increased investment in academic infrastructure and research are to blame for the country’s dramatic shift in how the world views it.
Tution Fees for International Students
Italy has surprisingly lower tuition costs than the majority of other European countries. The government has set upper and lower restrictions on the cost structure for university education, although institutions that provide higher education typically set their tuition rates. In reality, there is a minimum legal fee for enrollment and a maximum legal fee for student contributions. This maximum expense may not be greater than twenty percent of the state funding provided to the university. But the cost of some specialized degree programs is significantly higher.
