Studying in Italy: Public University Fees, Regional DSU Scholarships & Cost of Living
Italy is an increasingly popular destination for Nepali students due to affordable tuition based on family income (ISEE) and generous regional DSU scholarships that provide free housing and living stipends.
Public university tuition ranges between EUR 500 and EUR 3,500 per year. Monthly living costs in northern cities (Milan, Rome) are around EUR 800–1,100, while southern and central university towns (Turin, Bologna, Pisa) cost EUR 600–850 per month.
Nepali students on an Italian student visa (Permesso di Soggiorno per Studio) can work up to 20 hours per week (max 1,040 hours per year).
