Family income produced in Italy
If the student’s family income is produced in Italy , the annual tuition and university fees are calculated off the financial background of the student’s family (n° of family members and nature/amount of yearly income) and the cost of the chosen degree programme.
The tuition ranges from a minimum of about € 3,800 to a maximum of about € 11,500 per year.
Note: Student tuition and university fees are published in Spring for the following academic year and are likely to be subject to a gradual increase due to inflation after the first year of enrolment
Scholarships
Scholarships are provided by EDUCatt, the non-profit foundation that develops actions and strategies aimed at promoting access to higher education (the so-called DSU: diritto allo studio universitario) on behalf of Università Cattolica.

The flat tuition and university fee is € 6,360 per year.
This fee is applied to those students who have a family income lower than €150,000 and who provide the family income tax declaration for the previous year. The documentation must be submitted at the time of enrolment through a dedicated form available on Portale Iscrizioni (the enrollment Portal).

Scholarships
Candidates can request the “UCSC International Scholarship” while filling out the online application. The UCSC International Scholarship is an annual tuition fee reduction promoted by Università Cattolica to foster the access of international students to the degree programmes. The discount covers about 33% of the total cost.
This discount is automatically extended yearly, but it cannot last longer than three years beyond the normal duration of the study programme. Should candidates be unable to graduate within this timeframe, the full tuition and university fees will be applied.
Applicants are notified of the award when they receive an offer for admission.
For the academic year 2025/26, the tuition and university fee applicable to students who receive the UCSC International Scholarship is € 5,600*.

In case students receive other forms of financial aid (scholarships and accommodation offered by EDUCatt), the UCSC International Scholarship will not be awarded.
