Bachelors Programs in Italy

Yes, though English-taught bachelor's options are fewer than at master's level, several universities like Bocconi, Politecnico di Milano, and Luiss offer full English-medium undergraduate programs, mainly in business, engineering, and economics. For broader choice, especially in humanities, Italian-taught programs remain the more common route.

Not entirely free, but they're genuinely low-cost. Fees are calculated through the ISEE income system, meaning students from lower-income families can pay very little or occasionally nothing, while others pay up to around EUR 4,000 a year. Everyone still pays a small regional tax on top of tuition.

You will generally need your high school diploma, transcripts, passport, passport-sized photos, proof of language proficiency, proof of funds, and admission confirmation from your university. These get uploaded to the Universitaly portal first, then presented again at your visa appointment along with the consulate's specific documentation checklist.

Yes, international students can generally work up to 20 hours a week during term time and full-time during holidays, provided their residence permit allows it. It is a helpful way to cover daily expenses, though most students find it best used alongside, not instead of, family or scholarship support.

Start by choosing your program and checking language requirements, then register on Universitaly, submit your academic documents for a "value of study" (Dichiarazione di Valore) check, and take any required entrance test. Once accepted, you will complete pre-enrollment and apply for your student visa well ahead of intake.
