Tuition at the University of Sannio follows family income (ISEE). Italian ISEE holders pay by income, families abroad a flat fee or by ISEE parificato, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students with an ADISURC scholarship.
Tuition follows family income (ISEE). Families with income abroad can file an ISEE parificato or request the flat fee for families abroad, and ADISURC scholarship winners are exempt from tuition, with instalments already paid refunded. An ISEE up to €30,000 falls in the no-tax area. Non-EU students from the low human development countries listed in MUR Decree 176 of 24 February 2026 pay no contribution (fee exemptions page).
Payments are split into instalments between October 2026 and April 2027, and students without an ISEE pay the top band. ADISURC also sets a regional tax by income band (ADISURC regional tax 2026/27).

Sannio sets a flat contribution for foreign students living abroad, but its 2026/27 fee page and foreign-students page give different amounts. The fee page also says families abroad need an ISEE parificato from an authorised CAF to set university fees and to apply for ADISURC. Source: Sannio, enrolment of foreign students 2026/27.
Worked example: A first-year student from India whose family lives in India pays the flat fee for families abroad. An ISEE parificato of €15,000 would fall in the no-tax area, if Sannio applies the parificato to fees as its fee page says. We confirm which amount applies for you, prepare the ISEE parificato with the family and file the documents, and we prepare the ADISURC scholarship application with you.
Non-EU students living abroad pre-enrol on Universitaly in the period the ministry sets, and Sannio validates the application for the consulate. Master's applicants also pass a requirements check by the department, and everyone registers on the UNISANNIO portal after the visa. The university decides admission, and the consulate decides the visa.

|---|---|---|
| 1. Requirements check (master's) | The Engineering department, on the requirements form | Before enrolment; for 2026/27, master's enrolment for all students runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 December 2026, or to 31 March 2027 for degrees awarded from January 2027; Sannio sets no separate date for visa applicants |

Check your eligibilityThe University of Sannio uses CISIA's TOLC tests to assess entrants to its bachelor's degrees and Law, not to select them, and its own selective test for sport sciences. Its English-taught master's in electronics checks your degree instead. That master's asks for B2 English, and Italian-taught degrees ask visa applicants for B2 Italian.

The University of Sannio is not ranked in the QS World University Rankings 2027, and it is in the 1001 to 1200 band of the THE World University Rankings 2026. It has no subject in the QS by Subject 2026 top 200. At a small university like Sannio, the programme and its entry route matter more than the rank.

Sannio lists no scholarships of its own for degree students: its scholarships page carries research grants, and its fee exemptions page lists reductions, for example for siblings, part-time study and athletes. Non-EU students from the low human development countries listed in MUR Decree 176 of 24 February 2026 pay no contribution. For students from countries like India, the ADISURC 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 Benevento 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.

|---|---|---|
| Visa minimum for living costs | €10,179.85 a year (about ₹11.2 lakh) | Kolkata consulate checklist, item 6 |

Check your eligibilityYes. The University of Sannio is a state university on the Ministry of University and Research's list of 61 public universities, based in Benevento and independent since 1 January 1998, after starting as a branch of the University of Salerno. It had 3,768 students in 2024/25, 48 of them international, in three departments.
Tuition at the University of Sannio follows family income (ISEE), and an ISEE up to €30,000 falls in the no-tax area. Families abroad can file an ISEE parificato or pay the flat fee for families abroad, and ADISURC scholarship winners are exempt from tuition, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students.
Yes. ADISURC scholarship winners pay no Sannio contribution, instalments already paid are refunded, and ADISURC refunds the regional tax, so study can be tuition-free for eligible students. The 2026/27 family limits are an ISEE of €25,500 and an ISPE of €54,000, and families abroad need an ISEE parificato by 31 March 2027.
A first-year student from India whose family lives in India pays the flat fee for families abroad; Sannio's fee page and foreign-students page give different amounts. With an ISEE parificato in the no-tax area, the fee would be lower. We confirm which rule applies for you.
We list 1 English-taught programme at the University of Sannio for the next intake: the master's in Electronics Engineering for Automation and Sensing, run by the Engineering department in Benevento. It is open access, with no cap on places, and checks your degree and English at B2 instead of setting a test.
The University of Sannio uses CISIA's TOLC-I, TOLC-B, TOLC-S, TOLC-E and TOLC-SU for its bachelor's degrees and Law, as compulsory but non-selective tests, and its own selective test for sport sciences. Its English-taught master's checks your degree mark instead. We match each programme on your shortlist to its test and handle the registration.
Electronics Engineering for Automation and Sensing admits graduates automatically with a degree mark of at least 80/110 or, for degrees from India, a CGPA of 7 out of 10, under its 2026 course rules. It asks for B2 English and has no cap on places. Applicants without the required credits can take single courses and pass their exams before enrolling.
