How tuition works at Roma Tre University

At Roma Tre University the yearly contribution follows the family ISEE, or the ISEE parificato for income abroad, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students with a DiSCo Lazio scholarship.

Tuition follows family income (ISEE). An ISEE up to €23,000 falls in the no-tax area, families with income abroad file an ISEE parificato, and DiSCo Lazio scholarship winners and eligible students are exempt from tuition.

The regulation applies from 2025/26, was updated in January 2026 and adds bands 76 to 88, for an ISEE above €88,000, from 2026/27. First-year students file the ISEE within 60 days of enrolment, and a late ISEE adds a penalty. Without an ISEE, the top band applies (Article 35).

Source: Regolamento Tasse (in force from 2025/26, updated January 2026). Rupees use the FBIL reference rate of 21 September 2026, €1 = ₹109.90.

Roma Tre sets the fee of families with income abroad by the ISEE parificato (Article 32 of the regulation), and its agreement with CAF CISL offers that service at no cost. The regulation sets no flat fee by country. Source: Roma Tre, ISEE declaration page.

Worked example: With a family ISEE parificato of €15,000, a first-year master's student from India is inside the no-tax area for 2026/27, which runs to an ISEE of €23,000. Without an ISEE parificato, the top band applies. We prepare the family documents for the ISEE parificato with you and prepare the DiSCo Lazio scholarship application with you, which needs an ISEEUP from a CAF with a DiSCo agreement.

Which entry tests and language levels does Roma Tre University ask for?

Roma Tre University uses CISIA's TOLC tests for most Italian-taught bachelor's degrees: TOLC-E, TOLC-SU, TOLC-I and TOLC-B, plus a Law test or TOLC-SPS. Master's degrees, including the four on our list, rest on the department's evaluation of your degree. Italian-taught degrees ask for B2 Italian.

The table sets out what Roma Tre's 2026/27 limited-access call and 2026/27 guide, and its regulation for foreign qualifications, which prints no year, ask for at each degree level.

Sources: Roma Tre's limited-access admission call 2026/27, its 2026/27 guide for students with foreign qualifications, its Italian guide (HOW TO APPLY 2026/2027) for the 8-day appointment and its regulation for foreign qualifications (Articles 3, 7 and 10; no year printed). We prepare these documents with you; our DOV guide and Italy study visa guide cover the qualification and visa papers.

English: Roma Tre's rules ask for knowledge of the language in which a course is entirely taught, in place of B2 Italian (Article 7 of its regulation for foreign qualifications). Its university-wide rules and 2026/27 guides set no English level, so we check each master's English requirement for your shortlist. Source.

Italian: B2 for Italian-taught degrees, by certificate or Roma Tre's test (Italian diplomas and C1 or C2 certificates exempt you); the 2026/27 guide asks every non-EU visa applicant for B2 Italian, while Article 7 of its regulation accepts the teaching language for courses taught entirely in it, so we check which rule applies to your programme.

Roma Tre's own merit exemptions need an Italian school diploma of 95/100 or more, or a high-graded Italian degree. They also need a family ISEE up to €80,000 (partial exemptions and full exemptions). For students from countries like India, the DiSCo Lazio scholarship is the main award, and we prepare it with you.

Two national schemes are open to international students too: our guides to the MAECI scholarship and Invest Your Talent in Italy explain who can apply.

What does it cost to live in Rome?

For the study visa, the consulate asks you to show at least €10,179.85 (₹11.2 lakh) a year for living costs in Rome or any other Italian city. That is a floor, not a full budget: rent is the biggest cost, and a DSU residence place is much cheaper than a private room.

Reality check

  • Few places go to visa applicants on limited-access degrees. For 2026/27, Ingegneria Informatica e dell'Intelligenza Artificiale kept 10 of its 320 places for non-EU visa applicants, and Scienze Biologiche 7 of 159.
  • One early deadline covers every programme. Non-EU applicants living abroad had to pre-enrol on Universitaly by 15 September 2026, and master's departments then check each degree.
  • Documents decide the fee. Without an ISEE parificato, a family abroad pays the top band, while a family inside the no-tax area pays no contribution.
  • Italian still matters. Italian-taught degrees ask for B2 Italian, and Roma Tre's Italian test is selective for non-EU applicants living abroad; daily life and internships in Rome need it too.

What we handle: the shortlist, the fee route, the income documents, the programme applications, the Universitaly pre-enrolment, the visa file and the DiSCo Lazio application, prepared with you. The university decides admission, DiSCo Lazio decides the DSU scholarship and the consulate decides the visa.

Frequently asked questions

Is Roma Tre University a public university?

Yes. Roma Tre University is a state university on the Ministry of University and Research's list of 61 public universities, established in Rome in 1992 and organised in 13 departments. Its fees follow family income, and it had 35,109 students in 2024/25, 1,169 of them international.

How does tuition work at Roma Tre University?

Tuition at Roma Tre University follows family income (ISEE). In 2026/27 an ISEE up to €23,000 falls in the no-tax area, and above an ISEE of €100,000 or with no ISEE the top band applies. Families with income abroad are assessed on the ISEE parificato, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students.

Can study at Roma Tre University be tuition-free for eligible students?

Yes. Roma Tre exempts DiSCo Lazio scholarship winners and eligible students from its contribution and the regional tax, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students. The 2026/27 DiSCo Lazio limits are an ISEE of €28,339.88 (₹31.1 lakh) and an ISPE of €61,608.48 (₹67.7 lakh).

How is tuition set for a student from India at Roma Tre University?

Roma Tre sets no flat fee by country, so the fee follows the family's ISEE parificato. With a parificato of €15,000, a first-year master's student from India falls inside the no-tax area in 2026/27. Without one, the top band applies, and we prepare the documents with the family.

How many programmes does Roma Tre University teach in English?
