Education System in Italy

It is one of the four nations that first agreed to establish the so-called "European Area of Higher Education," launching the "Bologna Process" (Bologna Declaration, June 1999), a higher education reform initiative that is currently being implemented across Europe. Italy has played a significant role in the development of European higher education.

The education system in Italy is organized according to the subsidiary of principle and autonomy of schools. The State has a exclusive competence on general issues on education, on minimum standards to be guaranteed throughout the country and on the fundamental principles that Regions should comply with within their competences.

Italian higher education is structured in a binary system, consisting of two main articulations:

The university sectors
non-university sector

At present, the university of sector is made up of 89 university institutions which are classified in:
58 State universities
17 non-States university (legally recognized by the State)
2 universities for the foreigners
6 higher schools specialized in postgraduate university studies
6 telematic university

Intakes

In Italy, there are two semesters that make up the academic year. September/October marks the beginning of the first semester, which lasts through January/February. The second semester runs from February to July. Each semester lasts around 20 weeks and is made up of a teaching period lasting approximately 14 weeks and an exam period lasting approximately 6 weeks. The exact start and conclusion dates will vary among colleges.

Requirements

The Italian Master’s Degree should not be confused with Italian “Masters” (Magistrale specialistica) that are one-year specialist courses which offer a more practical education, notably in professional areas such as law, engineering, education or architecture) but do not give access to further levels of studies (they can be considered similar to Postgraduate diplomas). A bachelor (or an international equivalent) is required to undertake a Masters degree.

If you are applying for an international program (the Italian equivalent to being delivered in English) or an Erasmus Mundus joint-Masters programme there may be no entrance examination. If you are applying for Masters degrees in the area of economics, management, finance, business studies, you are likely to be asked for a GMAT or GRE, and Proof of English Knowledge is required notably if the program you are applying to is in English.

Education and Living Costs

Tuition Fees:

Universities and other Higher Education Institutes establish their own fees but in the case of university education there is a legal minimum fee for enrolment and maximum level for student contributions to costs and services, which cannot exceed 20% of state funding.

The average fees a student has to pay is somewhere between 850 euro and 1,000 euro per year since this varies from one university to another and also depends on the chosen course of study. Private universities are clearly much more expensive.

Admission to “master universitari” and other specialisation courses also have much higher fees. Doctoral students who receive a grant from the university do not pay fees, but non- grant holders are required to pay the fees, which will vary again according to the university chosen.

The cost of living in Italy varies considerably depending on which part of Italy the student will live in. Almost all of the main cities and tourist places, especially the ones located in the north of Italy are comparatively more expensive than other cities and smaller towns of the country.

Scholarship Opportunities

According to the same criteria of financial need and/or merit, all international students are eligible for the same student support services as Italian students. Scholarships, student loans, housing help, refectory meal tickets, and fee exemptions all fall under this category.
These services are managed by DSU office (Dorito allow studio Universitario).

Alongside scholarships and financial aid information, DSU offices will also provide other services such as counselling and the information on extracurricular activities, sport, transport and other practical matters. You should be contact the office at the university where you plan to study to find out what services are available to you.
