Which programmes does the University of Udine teach in English?

The University of Udine has 4 English-taught programmes on ApplyAZ for the next intake: 1 bachelor's and 3 master's, so most are two-year master's. Each programme page sets out its entry test, intake and requirements. The table lists them all by level, with the test each one uses.

Source: our own programme listings, counted on 28 September 2026; the counts match the programme list further down this page, and our full programme list covers every public university. 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.

How much does the University of Udine cost in 2026/27?

The University of Udine costs from €136 (₹15,000) a year in the no-tax area to €2,076 (₹2.3 lakh) with an ISEE above €60,000 or no ISEE in 2026/27. The yearly contribution depends on family income, measured by the ISEE, and study can be tuition-free for eligible students who win a DSU scholarship.

From the second year, reductions need enrolment for no more than the normal length plus one year, and 10 or 25 credits earned by 10 August 2026. With an ISEE up to €30,000 and the credits but not the years, the contribution is €300 (₹33,000). Students from their second year out of course pay the €2,000 maximum, €2,176 (₹2.4 lakh) in all (derived), the top of the range on Udine's fees information page.

Families with income abroad can use an ISEE parificato from a CAF with an ARDiS agreement, and the reduction is requested through the ARDiS online procedure by 5 October 2026, 13:00, or by 15 January 2027 for the contribution only. The notice sets no flat fee by country, and without an ISEE the €2,076 (₹2.3 lakh) maximum applies. Source: Udine fee notice 2026/27, Article 3.

Worked example: With a family ISEE parificato of €15,000, a first-year student from India would pay €136 (₹15,000) in 2026/27, because €15,000 is inside the lowest band, with no contribution. Without an ISEE the maximum of €2,076 (₹2.3 lakh) applies, and there is no flat fee by country, so the ISEE parificato route never costs more (derived). We prepare the ISEE parificato documents and the fee reduction request with you, and you submit the request in your own name, because the fee notice refuses requests sent by third parties.
