Italian university fees depend on assessed household income, so a single figure does not exist — a band does. Guides here always publish the lowest and highest bracket rather than an average nobody actually pays.

Frequently asked questions

Why use EUR 1,493 rather than EUR 943?

EUR 943 is the average across all enrolled students, including many who are fully exempt. If you actually have to pay university fees, the paying-student average is more useful: in the MUR 2023/2024 focus it is EUR 1,493.

Do IELTS Academic and General Training cost the same?

Yes. In the British Council dates checked for Italy, Academic and General Training on computer are both shown at EUR 290. You should not choose by price, though. Academic is usually required for university routes, while General Training serves other work or migration contexts. The correct choice is always the one required by the organisation receiving the result.
