In order to enroll for an academic year, you are required to pay the following fees:
- stamp duty (€16.00)
regional tax for diritto allo studio: starting from the 2026/2027 academic year, the regional tax for the right to university education is divided into three progressive brackets, with thresholds established by a resolution of the Regional Government of Lombardy.
Based on the 2027 ISEE / EQUIVALENT ISEE, the new amounts are:
- €130: up to €26,887.93 (threshold for access to scholarships).
- €160: from €26,887.94 to €53,775.88 (up to twice the previous threshold).
- €190: from €53,775.89, or if the relevant certification is not submitted.
With the first instalment, you pay the minimum amount of €130. Any balance due will be charged with the second instalment.
- the insurance coverage against accidents (€3.78 download the insurance) and thefts (€7.26 download the insurance)
- the "all-inclusive contribution" to cover educational, scientific and administrative services
The total annual amount is divided into two instalments, which cannot be paid in further instalments: a first instalment of €880.04 (except in cases where reductions are provided for under the 2017 Budget Law, as subsequently amended and supplemented); and a second instalment (ranging from a minimum of €0 to a maximum of €3,003.00) for the remaining amount, if due.
In case of withdrawal from studies or transfer to another University for the 2026/2027 academic year, the first instalment is not due. However, if you have already paid it, you are also required to pay the second instalment, where applicable.
Please note that to submit your Study Plan you must have already paid the first instalment.
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 1,880.04 €.

For students employed by the Public Administration who apply for the subsidised all-inclusive contribution of €1,000, in addition to the regional tax, stamp duty and insurance fees. The amount is fixed and does not depend on other factors, such as the percentage of 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 each academic year 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, type of contract (fixed-term/permanent), and possible termination date if it is a fixed-term contract.
In any case, the employment must last for a minimum of six months. The benefit will be withdrawn in the event of early termination, and the student is required to notify the University immediately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 annual amount due.
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.
