Degrees with an English-taught curriculum are included. The 2027/28 calls are not out yet, so each programme page adds its deadline when the call is published, and we track every call on your shortlist.
Tuition at the University of Perugia follows family income (ISEE). Families with income abroad can file an ISEE parificato or request the flat fee for their country, and DSU scholarship winners are exempt from tuition. An ISEE up to €22,000 falls in the no-tax area, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students.
The regulation prints no year, but Perugia's 2026/27 fee pages link it as the current one. Students enrolled for more than the normal length of their course plus one year pay a surcharge on their band (Article 9 and Annex 3). Late enrolment adds a surcharge that depends on the date (administrative deadlines 2026/27).

Families abroad choose a flat fee by their country's human development class, or an ISEE parificato issued at no cost by a partner CAAF. The request runs from 3 August to 20 October 2026, or to 1 March 2027 with a surcharge. Source: Perugia, fees for international students.
For students from India: a family ISEEU parificato of €15,000 would fall inside the no-tax area if Perugia bands the parificato like an ISEE Università, as Article 7 of its regulation implies, so the parificato route can work out better than the flat fee for India. We prepare the documents with you, file them with the university and prepare the ADiSU Umbria scholarship application with you at the same time.
Non-EU students living abroad apply to the University of Perugia programme by programme, then pre-enrol on Universitaly so the consulate can issue a study visa. The windows below are the 2026/27 ones, and the 2027/28 calls are not published yet. The university decides admission, and the consulate decides the visa.
| Step | Where | When |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Programme application | PICA pre-evaluation | Programmes without their own PICA call (general visa pre-enrolment): 29 May to 7 Jun 2026 on PICA (2026/27) |

| 3. Universitaly pre-enrolment | Universitaly | After a positive PICA evaluation; Perugia validates only those applicants on Universitaly |
| 4. Study visa | Italian consulate in your country | By 30 November 2026 for 2026/27 and by 31 October 2027 for 2027/28; the consulate asks for at least €10,179.85 (₹11.2 lakh) a year for living costs |
| 5. Enrolment in Italy | The degree programme's Student Office in Perugia | After arrival, never from abroad: the SOL enrolment request and first instalment, then an in-person check of the original documents; for 2026/27, bachelor's to 20 October 2026 and master's to 1 March 2027 |

Check your eligibilityThe University of Perugia uses CISIA's TOLC to assess entrants to three Italian-taught engineering degrees, not to select them. Engineering Management has its own admission test, and English-taught master's check documents on PICA. English-taught degrees ask for B2 English, though the study-documents list accepts B1 for bachelor's, and Italian-taught degrees ask for B2 Italian.
| Test or route | Used for | Source |
|---|---|---|
| TOLC by CISIA | Italian-taught Computer and Electronic, Mechanical and Industrial (Terni) Engineering: an assessment with extra learning requirements (OFA), not a selection | Admission tests page |

Perugia's international fees page names no scholarships of its own and points students to ADiSU Umbria (tuition fees and scholarships page). The merit reductions in its fee regulation apply only to holders of Italian school diplomas. For students from countries like India, the ADiSU 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.
For the study visa, the consulate asks you to show at least €10,179.85 (₹11.2 lakh) a year for living costs in Perugia 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
What we handle: the shortlist, the fee route, the income documents, the programme applications, the Universitaly pre-enrolment, the visa file and the ADiSU Umbria application, prepared with you. The university decides admission, ADiSU Umbria decides the DSU scholarship and the consulate decides the visa.
For eligible students, we take care of the whole application to the University of Perugia. We shortlist programmes against your profile and their entry tests, prepare the documents and the family's income papers, file each programme application, complete Universitaly pre-enrolment, handle the visa file and prepare the ADiSU Umbria scholarship application with you.
We work only with Italian public universities, and we do not promise outcomes: the university decides admission, ADiSU Umbria decides the DSU scholarship and the consulate decides the visa.
Check your eligibility first. Eligible students book a one-to-one consultation with one of our Italy experts.
Check your eligibilityYes. The University of Perugia is a state university on the Ministry of University and Research's list of 61 public universities, founded in 1308, with campuses in Perugia, Assisi, Foligno, Narni and Terni. It had 29,526 students in 2024/25, 1,406 of them international, and its fees follow family income or a flat fee by country.
Tuition at the University of Perugia follows family income (ISEE), and an ISEE up to €22,000 falls in the no-tax area. Families with income abroad can file an ISEE parificato or request the flat fee for their country. DSU scholarship winners are exempt from tuition, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students.
Yes. Students who meet the ADiSU Umbria scholarship requirements are exempt from Perugia's yearly contribution, and ADiSU refunds the regional tax, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students. The 2026/27 family limits are an ISEE of €28,339.88 and an ISPE of €61,608.48, and the grant away from home reaches €6,646.78 (₹7.3 lakh).
It depends on the route: a family from India can pay the flat fee for India, a medium human development country, or file an ISEEU parificato. A parificato of €15,000 would fall in the €22,000 no-tax area if Perugia applies it to the parificato, as its regulation implies. We work out the better route and prepare the documents with the family.
We list 12 English-taught programmes at the University of Perugia for the next intake: Engineering Management at bachelor's and master's level, and 10 more master's, such as Geology for Energy Resources and International Relations. Perugia's 2026/27 catalogue lists six of them as taught entirely in English, and master's applicants start with a PICA pre-evaluation of their degree and documents.
The University of Perugia uses CISIA's TOLC to assess entrants to three Italian-taught engineering degrees, and Engineering Management, its English-taught bachelor's, has its own admission test. English-taught master's check the degree, transcript and CV on PICA. We match each programme on your shortlist to its test and handle the registration.
Perugia's 2026/27 catalogue lists five master's taught entirely in English: Engineering Management, Geology for Energy Resources, Quantitative Finance and Data Science for Economics, Agricultural and Environmental Biotechnology, and Medical, Veterinary and Forensic Biotechnology. They ask for B2 English, and applicants from abroad start with a pre-evaluation on PICA.
The University of Perugia is in the 1001 to 1200 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027, joint 34th among Italian public universities, and it is not ranked in the THE World University Rankings 2026. In QS by Subject 2026 it has one subject in the world top 200, Engineering (Petroleum), in the 151 to 175 band.
For 2026/27, the University of Perugia ran a general PICA pre-evaluation for visa applicants from 29 May to 7 June 2026, with later windows for some programmes, such as Engineering Management to 21 August. The 2027/28 calls are not published yet, so we track each call on your shortlist and file every application in time.
For eligible students, we take care of everything: the shortlist, the fee route and ISEE parificato, the PICA pre-evaluation, Universitaly pre-enrolment, the ADiSU Umbria scholarship and the visa file.
