Common questions
Common questions about Italian universities
How many Italian universities offer programmes in English?
Use the live result counts in our university and programme explorers. Our directory is curated, not a census of every Italian institution. Filter by level and teaching language, then check the official current-year catalogue and the language of the specific curriculum.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?
Compare the specific programme, qualification, campus and total cost. Public fees may depend on income, residence, citizenship or degree category; an Indian applicant is not automatically entitled to the lowest band. Private institutions have their own tuition and aid rules. Neither institutional type nor a scholarship application guarantees placement or funding.Can I apply to multiple Italian universities at once?
You may apply separately to several universities if their admission rules allow it. Universitaly visa pre-enrolment is for one degree programme at one university at a time. Changing a validated choice requires the receiving university's intervention. Admission, Universitaly validation and visa issuance are separate decisions.Official source · checked 2026-10-09
