Common questions

Common questions about Italian universities

  • How many Italian universities offer programmes in English?
    Around 100 universities in Italy offer 600+ English-taught programmes — bachelors, masters, single-cycle and PhDs. The list on this page is a curated 30 most-relevant for Indian applicants. You can filter by city, type (public/private), level, and language.
  • Which Italian universities are best for Indian students?
    It depends on your field. For engineering, Politecnico di Milano (#=98 QS 2026) and Politecnico di Torino. For business, Bocconi or Luiss. For broad humanities + sciences, the University of Bologna (Europe's oldest) or Sapienza Rome. Click any university for India-specific notes.
  • Should I avoid private Italian universities?
    Not necessarily. Public universities are usually cheaper (€0–€4,000/year with ISEE Parificato). Private universities like Bocconi or Luiss charge €15,000+/year but offer scholarships and stronger industry placement. Choose based on programme fit, not type.
  • Can I apply to multiple Italian universities at once?
    Yes. Most students apply to 3–5 universities for safety. The Universitaly portal allows multiple applications. Each university has its own admission process, deadlines, and entrance test (TOLC, IMAT, or programme-specific) — track all of them via our Move checklist.
  • What does ER.GO mean?
    ER.GO is the regional scholarship body for Emilia-Romagna (the region around Bologna). Each Italian region has its equivalent — DSU Toscana for Tuscany, EDISU Piemonte for Turin, LazioDisco for Rome. These regional scholarships often combine tuition waivers, accommodation, and a stipend.
