Italy Destination Guide cover, 2026 edition
Honestly answered

The questions we get most.

How much will a Master’s in Italy really cost?

Year one, end-to-end, lands between €14,000 and €33,000 depending on public vs private and city. The ISEE income discount can cut public tuition by 50-90%.

What is ISEE and how do I file it?

Family income certificate: the basis for tuition discounts at public universities. Filed via the consulate in your home country. We walk you through the documents and translation.

What is a DSU scholarship?

Regional scholarship covering tuition plus a stipend (€5,000-7,000/yr) for ISEE-eligible students. Highly competitive but transformative. We help score your eligibility before you apply.

How long is the post-study residence?

12 months after graduation as a work-search permit. It converts to a work residence permit once you sign a contract; EU Blue Card pathway for skilled roles.

Do I need Italian language?

For English-taught Master’s, no formal requirement. For employment, yes: B1+ roughly doubles your interview rate outside Milan and Bologna.

What does working with Transitley cost?

First consultation is free. Paid by the student, not the university. Exact pricing is on the call.
