What it costs, what it asks for
Politecnico di Torino in detail
What you need
- Entry
- Italy requires twelve years of schooling, so an eleven-year certificate needs a bridging year or one year of university at home before it is accepted. Admission runs through Universitaly and the Italian consulate on a fixed annual calendar — we work backwards from the pre-enrolment date, not from the university's own deadline.
- English
- B2 or above for English-taught degrees: IELTS 5.5 or PTE Academic 59. TOEFL is split by date — iBT 72 for a certificate obtained before 21 January 2026, and a total of 4 on the new band scale for one obtained after — so the TOEFL figure depends on when the test was sat. Duolingo is not accepted
When, and what it pays
- Intakes
- 2026/27 closed — language requirement 22 May, Universitaly 30 June 2026
Worth knowing before you pay
Italian public universities set tuition by FAMILY INCOME, assessed through a document called the ISEE, and award need-based grants on the same basis. A family that files it correctly can pay very little; a family that does not file it is charged the top band. We prepare the ISEE with you — it is the single most valuable thing we do on an Italian application, and it has a deadline of its own.
From secondary sources — we confirm every figure with the institution before you commit to anything.
