Degree courses, master's degrees, five-year single-cycle courses

The fees are divided into two instalments, and the amount varies according to the study plan you will submit and your financial status.

For a standard study plan of between 46 and 74 ECTS and an ISEE of up to € 22,000, the amount is € 157.04; for a higher-value ISEE, the amount gradually increases up to a maximum of € 3,943.04. In particular, for an ISEE between € 22,001 and € 30,000, the amount is calculated with a specific formula; for an ISEE higher than € 30,000, the amount is established on the basis of fee bands. The percentage corresponding to the number of ECTS credits in the study plan is then applied to these amounts. 

International students belonging to the reserved non-EU category (i.e. not equivalent to Italian students), who are admitted to Master's programmes with a first-level qualification obtained abroad and who are not recipients of either a scholarship from Politecnico di Milano or other institutions or scholarships awarded for merit and income by the 'Diritto allo Studio' are required to pay the maximum amount in relation to the percentage corresponding to the number of ECTS in their study plan.

Particularly capable and deserving students who find themselves in certain economic conditions can also access "Diritto allo Studio" benefits.

If you intend to enrol in a degree programme, either for a Laurea triennale (equivalent to Bachelor of Science), Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science), or Laurea a ciclo unico (equivalent to a five-year Master degree programme), you will need to pay the first instalment of €880.04 upon enrolment.

First instalment reduction

You may obtain a reduction in the amount if you submit an ISEE 2026 indicator with a value below € 27,740, by following these steps:

• Request the ISEE for “university use” through the INPS (Italian National Social Security Office) website (also using the pre-filled option) or through a CAF
• Enter the date of signature of the Dichiarazione Sostitutiva Unica (DSU) in the Online Services, in the reserved area (Admission applications > ISEE entry for enrolment)
• Timing: enter the date at least 10 working days before the enrolment date, so that you do not have to pay the first instalment.
  This advance notice is essential because of the time required by INPS to process and transmit your data to Politecnico di Milano.

Confirmation of the indicator

The reduction obtained on the first instalment with the ISEE 2026 must subsequently be confirmed by submitting the ISEE 2027, starting from January 2027, in order to determine the amount of the second instalment.
 

The second instalment is paid in May and is calculated considering the following:

• number of ECTS in the study plan
• income bracket corresponding to the ISEE 2027 or, for those with income and assets abroad, or both abroad and in Italy, the Equalised ISEEU

The second instalment ranges from €0 to €3,003 (for a study plan including between 46 and 74 ECTS credits), only if due, an amount supplementing the regional tax paid in advance with the first instalment.

To obtain a reduction in the maximum amount of the second instalment:

•  starting from January, request a new calculation of the ISEE 2027 for university use from INPS or a CAF; if you have income or assets abroad (or both abroad and in Italy), you must request the calculation of the Equalised ISEEU 2027 according to the process described on the dedicated page
  Note: students enrolled in the second semester of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme who registered a 2027 ISEE/ISEEU parificato at the time of enrolment are not required to resubmit it.
• Please visit the  Online Services (Data > Taxes and financial benefits > ISEE Declaration) and insert the signing date of the Single Substitute Statement, while waiting to receive the ISEE.

The maximum amount is automatically charged to students:

• without an ISEE certificate who decide not to submit one;
• international students belonging to the reserved non-EU category, i.e. not equivalent to Italian citizens, enrolled in Master’s degree programmes with a first-level qualification obtained abroad, who have not been awarded a scholarship by Politecnico di Milano or by other institutions.
  The maximum amount applies to this category even if they submit the ISEE/ISEEU parificato.

If you fall under the exemptions provided for certified disability, submit a self-certification form (PDF) through the Online Desk at least ten working days before enrolling.

University tuition instalments are included among expenses eligible for a 19% tax deduction is applied.

You are entitled to a refund if you enrolled in the:

• first semester and withdraw from studies by 18 November 2026
• second semester (Master’s degree programme) and withdraw from studies by 21 April 2027

If you decide to withdraw

Go to Online Services (Career data > Suspension or Withdrawal), follow the procedure indicated and complete it by paying the stamp duty of €16.00.

You may self-certify that you have submitted a withdrawal request if you enrol at another university.

The refund is reduced by the stamp duty (€16.00) and insurance fees (€11.04), and you will not be entitled to it if there is certification relating to enrolment.

Please note: if you withdraw from studies from 19 November 2026 (first semester), or from 22 April 2027 (second semester), your request will be accepted, but no refund of the first instalment will be provided, and you will be asked to pay any balance due on the annual all-inclusive contribution, calculated on the basis of the ECTS credits in your study plan and the ISEE/ISEEU parificato valid on the date of the request.
