Student fees
Enrolling on degree programmes costs from 0 to approximately 3,000 euros per year.
With the no tax area up to 30,000 euros the University of Padua applies some of the most advantageous concessions among the major Italian universities. In addition, various full or partial fee waivers and incentives are available for students who meet specific requirements.
To obtain the reductions, complete the Request for concession.
University fees are divided into three instalments which cannot be further deferred.
The first instalment to be paid amounts to:
- 208 euros (of which 192 euros for the regional tax for the right to university education and 16 euros for stamp duty) for those enrolling in the first year, to be paid at the time of enrolment;
- 588 euros (an additional 380 euros of all-inclusive contribution is added) for those enrolling in subsequent years, to be paid by 30 September;
- 16 euros for people enrolled in years after the first who have a disability with an assessed invalidity between 66% and 100% or certification pursuant to Law no. 104 (for students enrolled in the first year, the amount remains 208 euros and they will receive any reimbursement of 192 euros subject to verification of the certification submitted), to be paid by 30 September;
- 16 euros for people deemed eligible in the regional scholarship rankings in the previous year;
Those who are not deemed eligible for the regional scholarship for the academic year 2026/27 are required to pay by 30 November 2026 the balancing amounts of the first instalment, available in the reserved area of Uniweb following publication of the final rankings.
Anyone intending to graduate in the final session of the academic year 2025/26 (therefore by 31 December 2026) must not pay the first instalment for the academic year 2026/27.
Those who, however, complete the degree application but are unable, for various reasons, to obtain the qualification in the final December session are not subject to a late-payment penalty for late payment of the first instalment.
The amount of the second and third instalments varies depending on the Degree Programme attended and on personal and financial circumstances (for an estimated calculation, see the simulator).
To benefit from exemptions and reductions based on income, students must complete the Request for concessions, through the dedicated online procedure available in Uniweb under the section "Right to study, disability/dyslexia certifications, summer courses".
The second instalment must be paid by 15 February; the third instalment by 15 May.

The contribution takes into account the new financial requirements. Enter your ISEE value, your enrolment details and any fee waivers you intend to request. The annual total does not take into account parental waivers or special waivers.
Enrolment fees can be paid via the new PagoPA method.
Students must regularly check their institutional email address (nome.cognome@studenti.unipd.it), which the University uses to send its communications.
It is also advisable to log in to Uniweb (path: Teaching - Personal data) to verify that your details are correct, in particular your personal email address and mobile phone number, so that the University can contact you easily.
The fee for enrolment in a single course unit is 222.50 euros; the cost of each single course unit after the first is 200 euros. The receipt must be presented together with the enrolment application.
People with a disability of more than 66% or with a disability recognised under Law no. 104/1992 pay a fee of 22.50 euros for enrolment in up to a maximum of five single course units.
University fees must be paid in two instalments. The deadlines vary depending on the School to which you belong.
Students enrolled in PhD courses contribute to the cost of their university education by paying an amount including the regional tax and stamp duty.
Tuition fees, together with the relevant deadlines, vary depending on the master's programme chosen. It is also possible to enrol in individual modules offered as part of some master's programmes. Detailed information is available in the admission notice for the selected master's programme.
We talk about university "fees" because what you pay is not a fixed amount (unlike a standard tax such as TARI or stamp duty) but, to ensure greater fairness, it is calculated according to your financial situation, as indicated by your ISEE
