In order to enroll for an academic year, you must pay the following contributions:

  • stamp duty (€16.00), in accordance with the law
  • regional tax for diritto allo studio (€140.00)
  • the insurance coverage against accidents (€3.78 download the insurance) and thefts (€7.26 download the insurance)
  • the so-called "all-inclusive contribution" to cover educational, scientific and administrative services

The total amount (given by the sum of all contributions to be paid) must be paid in 2 instalments only (it is not possible to split the amount in further instalments): 1st instalment of 890.04 € (except in cases where the student can request a reduction, pursuant to the Budget Law 2017 as subsequently amended and supplemented - see below); 2nd variable instalment by which the student pays the remaining amount.

The annual all-inclusive contribution is equal to €3,726.00. This amount, however, must be fully paid only by a limited number of students; in most cases, there is the possibility of financial aid that allows to reduce the contribution of a significant amount, as explained below.

New: starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, in order to submit their Study Plan, students must have already paid the first instalment.

Attention

  • information about taxes for single courses are available in the section dedicated to Future students
  • for the students registered for Online Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) (IOL): registration for the OnLine Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in computer science envisages, besides payment of the ordinary fee (varying depending on one’s income and on the number of annual credits contemplated by the study plan), an additional fixed fee of €1,500 per year to access the online services. It follows that the first instalment for the students registering for the IOL laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme will be 1,890.04 €. Check out the website http://www.laureaonline.polimi.it/tempi-e-costi/

Students employed by the Public Administration who express their wish to enrol by paying to the subsidised all-inclusive contribution, the amount to pay is €1,000, in addition to payment of the regional tax, stamp duty and insurance fee. The amount is fixed and not dependent on other career elements (ECTS %, payment of the all-inclusive contribution by instalments, exemption according to Law 232/2016 as amended and supplemented, further exemptions and special aid, etc.).

The subsidy is granted for the entire normal duration of the programme in which the student is enrolled plus one month/year (depending on course length). The application must be submitted by the deadline set for the second instalment via the channels of the Registrar’s Office, with self-certification containing: the data of the institution (name of the authority, certified e-mail address (PEC)), hiring date and possible termination date if it is a fixed-term contract. 

Those enrolled in the Online Computer Engineering (IOL) Laurea programme (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) paying the subsidised all-inclusive contribution are also required to pay €1,000 for using the platform and the special tutoring service. The choice to pay subsidised all-inclusive contribution is renewed automatically for the following academic years, unless the student concerned expressly requests revocation or the employment contract with the public authority is terminated. 

Financial aid

The all-inclusive contribution must be paid for the 100% of the amount only in case of Study Plans with a number of University Educational Credits (ECTS) between 46 and 74. For part-time students (ECTS less than 46) reductions are available; for students with a number of ECTS more than 74, an additional payment is provided. 

Further information

The budget law 2017 (L. 232/2016), as subsequently amended and supplemented, provides the possibility to require the total or partial exemption of payment, only for the all-inclusive contribution (the other contributions - stamp duty, regional tax, insurances - must be paid in any case). For 1st year students, the exemption depends exclusively on the ISEE value. For students of subsequent years to the first one, it depends on the ISEE value and other factors (such as the credits obtained and the number of years of enrollment).

Non-EU  citizenship students of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of  Science) Programmes with a residence permit for study purposes with first-level qualification obtained abroad, admitted without any economic benefit, must pay the full all-inclusive contribution.

Further information

If you are not included in any of the exemption cases mentioned in point 2, you can make request for payment by instalments of the all-inclusive contribution, based on your ISEE value. As to say, the amount is calculated in relation to your income bracket. To obtain the payment by instalments, you must provide the ISEE declaration on your personal page, according to the procedures and deadlines provided, otherwise you must fully pay the all-inclusive amount.

Further information

On the all-inclusive contribution (but calculated on the basis of the financial aid mentioned above), other exemption solutions can be provided which further reduce the final amount.

Further information

There is also a total exemption of the all-inclusive contribution for foreign students on annual scholarships awarded by the Italian government: contact international-scholarships@polimi.it

There is also financial aid for students next to conclusion of their studies and for students of Study Programmes with a language certification that allows to continue their studies to the Laurea Magistrale Study Programme.
