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.
The University of Tuscia costs from €156 (₹17,000) a year in the no-tax area to €2,350 (₹2.6 lakh) in the top fee category in 2025/26. Without an ISEEUP, non-EU students living abroad pay a fixed fee by country income group, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students with a DSU scholarship.
| Who pays what, 2025/26 | Yearly total | How it is set |
|---|---|---|
| ISEE up to €26,000 (no-tax area) | €156 (₹17,000) | Contribution €0; only the regional tax €140 and virtual stamp duty €16. Later years also need the minimum credits and no more than one year beyond the normal length |
| ISEE €26,001 to €30,000 | By formula | Based on 7% of the ISEE above €13,000, cut by 20% up to €28,000 and by 10% up to €30,000, plus €156 |
| ISEE above €30,000 | By income and merit category, up to €2,350 (₹2.6 lakh) | Nine income categories combined with merit bands; a first-year student's merit band follows the school-leaving grade |
| Top category (Category 1) or no ISEE | €2,350 (₹2.6 lakh) | €2,194 contribution plus €156 |
| Non-EU students living abroad without an ISEEUP (India: lower-middle income) | €1,206 (₹1.3 lakh) | A fixed €1,050 plus €156 (derived), up to one year beyond the normal length; €600, €1,500 or €1,950 plus €156 for the other World Bank income groups |
| DiSCo Lazio scholarship winners or eligible students | €16 (₹2,000) | Only the €16 virtual stamp duty |
Students with no ISEE by the final deadline pay the top category. In 2025/26 the ISEE was due preferably by 30 September 2025 and by 31 December 2025 at the latest.

Foreign citizens with income or assets outside Italy declare them through an ISEEUP, filed through a CAF that works with the university. Non-EU students living abroad without one pay a fixed fee by their country's World Bank income group, €600, €1,050, €1,500 or €1,950, plus the €140 regional tax and €16 stamp duty. Source: Tuscia, Tuition fees and benefits 2025-2026, section 8.
Worked example: With an ISEEUP of €15,000, a first-year student from India paid €156 (₹17,000) in 2025/26, because €15,000 is inside the no-tax area. Without an ISEEUP, India's lower-middle income group paid a fixed €1,050 plus €156, so €1,206 (₹1.3 lakh), and the ISEEUP route costs less whenever the family's ISEEUP is up to €29,000. We prepare the documents with you, file them with the university and prepare the DiSCo Lazio scholarship application with you at the same time.
Non-EU students living abroad apply to the University of Tuscia programme by programme, then pre-enrol on Universitaly so the consulate can issue a study visa. The course page below gives no non-EU dates for 2026/27, and the 2027/28 calls are not published yet. The university decides admission, and the consulate decides the visa.

Tuscia also runs €500 (₹55,000) bonus calls, listed in section 4 of its 2025/26 fee guide, for groups that include first-year students with a school-leaving grade of at least 95/100, graduates with 110/110, women on STEM courses and first-year students in financial need. The guide does not say whether non-EU students living abroad can apply, so we check each call for 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 Viterbo 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 |
