The cost of tuition fees varies according to both the study plan that you will present and your financial status, as determined by ISEE (Indicator of Equivalent Economic Situation). The two instalments must each be paid wholly in one tranche.

International students belonging to the reserved non-EU category, (ie 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.

The first instalment, for all Laurea programmes: Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science), Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science), and five-year master’s degree, is € 890.04 and is paid upon enrolment.
This amount is reduced for an Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) 2024 of less than € 27,740.
To obtain it:

• request calculation of the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) calculation for university use directly from the INPS website (by accessing the appropriate service, which also requires a pre-compiled ISEE form) or through a CAF (Fiscal Assistance Centre)
• enter in the Online Services [Requests for admission > Insertion of ISEE for matriculation], at least 10 working days before enrolment, and insert the signing date of the Single Self Declaration (this is the date on which you signed the document that you presented to INPS, directly or through the CAF, to obtain the ISEE calculation)

The first instalment, for all Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes, is € 890.04 and is paid upon enrolment.
This amount is reduced for an Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) 2025 of less than € 27,740.
To obtain it:

• request calculation of the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) calculation for university use directly from the INPS website (by accessing the appropriate service, which also requires a pre-compiled ISEE form) or through a CAF (Fiscal Assistance Centre)
• enter in the Online Services [Requests for admission > Insertion of ISEE for matriculation], at least 10 working days before enrolment, and insert the signing date of the Single Substitute Statement (this is the date on which you signed the document that you presented to INPS, directly or through the CAF, to obtain the ISEE calculation)

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 2025 or, for those with income and assets abroad (or both abroad and in Italy), from the Equalised ISEEU

The amount of the second instalment varies from a minimum of € 0 to a maximum of € 3,003 (for a study plan with a number of University Credits (ECTS) between 46 and 74).

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

•  starting from January, request a new calculation of the ISEE 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 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 2025 equivalent ISEE/ISEEU at the time of enrolment are not required to resubmit it.
• while waiting to receive the ISEE, please visit the  Online Services [Data > Taxes and financial benefits > ISEE Declaration] and insert the signing date of the Single Substitute Statement

Please note: the maximum amount is automatically requested from students who do not submit an ISEE and from international students belonging to the reserved non-EU category (ie not equivalent to Italian students), enrolled in Master's programmes who have a first-level qualification obtained abroad and are not recipients of a scholarship from Politecnico di Milano or from other institutions, even if they have an Equalised ISEEU.

The second installment will be available in the Online Services, approximately one month prior to the payment deadline. The payment is to be made, within the established terms, through the Online Services (Data > Taxes and economic benefits > selecting 'Last unpaid request').
