Exemptions from tuition fees for Degree Programmes

To obtain a reduction in university fees, the University must acquire the value of the ISEEU indicator

from INPS, as calculated in accordance with current Italian regulations.

If a student

does not authorise the acquisition of the ISEEU pertaining to their family unit, or if there are no ISEEU data available from INPS, the student will be placed in the highest fee bracket. Failure to provide authorisation must be formalised and submitted to the University Degree Programmes Student Administration Office.

The ISEEU (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator for the University) is a tool

used in Italy to assess a family’s economic situation. It takes into account income, assets (both financial and property), and the characteristics of the family unit (size and type). The University does not provide any assistance in calculating the ISEEU.

Acquisition of the ISEEU from INPS is

necessary to be eligible for a reduction in university fees if, following subsequent verification, the student is no longer entitled to “full exemption”. Failure to authorise its acquisition will result in placement in the highest fee bracket.

The declared income situation is valid only for the academic

year in question, for enrolment or re-enrolment in subsequent years to the first year of the Degree Programme / Master’s Degree.

Except in cases where the ISEEU value is not required to determine

the applicable fees according to Legislative Decree 68/2012, art. 10, and INPS Circular 73/2015, the University will directly verify the existence of a recent DSU and corresponding ISEEU with INPS. If there are no data available at INPS, the student will be placed in the highest fee bracket.

The

student’s economic and fee bracket is determined based on the value of the ISEEU, and also takes into account the student’s status (regular / extended period).

No merit-based exemptions are provided for students enrolling in the 2026-2027 academic

year.

For students enrolled in years subsequent to the first, the calculation of academic merit

is based on two criteria: the average mark obtained and the number of credits earned.

The average

mark is the mean score of all examinations taken by each student regularly enrolled from initial enrolment/registration for the first year of the Degree Programme up to 31 October 2026.p>

The number of credits earned refers to all academic credits included in the official study plan

from initial enrolment/registration for the first year of the Degree Programme up to 31 October 2026.

Proficiency tests, assessments not graded on a thirty-point scale, and validated

or exempted exams are excluded from the calculation of both the average mark and the total number of credits earned.

Merit assessment

The partial merit reduction (Euro 100.00) may be applied

to the amount of the fifth tuition instalment, provided that this instalment is equal to or greater than the reduction itself. If the fifth instalment is lower, the available amount will be deducted and no refund will be issued for any remaining balance.

This reduction is available to students who

, with an average mark of 27/30 or higher, have earned all the academic credits for the compulsory courses, including elective courses, as stipulated in the official study plan, from initial enrolment/registration for the first year of the Degree Programme up to 31 October 2026.

Students who undertake documented employment activities in Italy are granted, subject to verification

by the University, a reduction of €100.00 from the total payable contribution. This reduction is applicable to the amount of the third instalment of university tuition fees and contributions, provided that this instalment equals or exceeds the amount of the reduction. If the third instalment is less than the reduction, only the available amount will be deducted and no kind of reimbursement will be issued for any potential surplus.

Requests for partial exemption due to employment must be submitted by

31 October 2026 and must be appropriately documented. Late applications are permitted only if submitted at the same time as a late enrolment and, in any case, only for serious and justified reasons.
