Types of Schools and Degrees

The Italian post-secondary education system consists of three major categories of education: universities, a systems of schools of the arts, design and music, known as the Afam system and schools of engineering and architecture. Degrees are awarded at the bachelor's, master's and doctoral level but are often referred to as 1st cycle, 2nd cycle and 3rd cycle, respectively. As a result of the European Bologna agreement of 1999, these degrees are equivalent to degrees awarded across the European Union as well as many other countries.

Tuition at public universities varies by school but is typically under 1000 euros a year but may be higher for master's and doctoral programs as well as some specialized programs. Tuition at private institutions is set by the individual school but is typically much higher than for the public institutions.

International Students

International students have made up about 11 percent of Italy's higher education enrollment in recent years with many students drawn to arts, history and architecture programs. It is one of the most popular countries for foreign students who want to study abroad, particularly for those who want to pursue an art or design degree.

Citizens of any country are eligible to attend Italian schools of higher education as long as they meet the entrance requirements and as long as the quotas for non-EU citizens are not already filled. Students need to have completed 12 years of schooling and have met all requirements that would allow them to attend university-level schools in their own country. They must also prove proficiency in Italian which typically requires taking a proficiency exam. Some programs such as those in medicine, architecture, education and the arts require that candidates pass an entrance exam which may be specific to a school or determined by a central authority, depending on the type of program. These language and entrance exams need to be taken in Italy.

Tuition fees for international students are the same as for Italian citizens and vary by school. They are usually under 1000 euros a year for public university bachelor's degree programs but are higher for private schools, graduate level and specialized programs.
