Tuition at Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro follows family income (ISEE) under the 2025/26 rules. Non-EU students, such as students from India, pay a single flat contribution instead of an ISEE band, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students who win a Fondazione UMG scholarship.
For first-year students, the 2025/26 regulation sets the contribution "only by ISEE" and does not say which column applies, so we work out your band for you. Non-EU students pay their contribution in four instalments.

Non-EU students file no ISEE for the fee: they pay a single flat contribution in four instalments under the 2025/26 rules. Students from the particularly poor countries in the regulation's list pay a lower contribution. Source: Magna Graecia, Regolamento Tasse 2025/2026, Section III.
Worked example: A first-year student from India pays the non-EU flat contribution, not an ISEE band, under the 2025/26 rules. The 2026/27 regulation is a scanned image we could not read, so we check the current rules for you. The fee needs no income papers; the DSU scholarship is run by the Fondazione Università Magna Graecia, whose 2026/27 call closed at 12:00 on 8 September 2026, so we plan the next call's application with you.
