Further financial assistance 
Tuition fees for BA and MA degrees - a.y. 2023/2024

Reductions are calculated automatically on April 2024 and are applied to the total amount due as the fee balance without your having to make any specific request.

The University provides for a reduction for merit, equal to 315.00 EUR (205.00 EUR for part-time students).

These reductions are granted in the following cases:

• students enrolled in first year of the following Master’s Degrees and whose Bachelor Degree mark is:
  • Economics: from 108 to 110 cum laude;
  • Humanities: 110 and 110 cum laude;
  • Languages: 110 and 110 cum laude;
  • Science: from 108 to 110 cum laude.

• students enrolled in successive academic years who meet both of the following conditions:

1. To have achieved and registered the credits resulting from the exams held by 30 September 2023 on their personal page as follows:

(*) “Year” refers to the number of years the student has been enrolled starting from their first enrolment in their first year at any University, as in the case of transfers from other Universities or from other Ca’ Foscari programmes.

For the purpose of calculating merit for obtaining benefits, any years of suspension from studies are not counted, except in cases where the suspension has been determined by disciplinary measures. Furthermore, credits coming from:

• exams or internships recognized in past academic studies which have concluded with a qualification or following withdrawal/loss of student status or from other activities, even if held before enrolment and for which students have been granted accreditation;
• exams taken for single courses previous to enrolment to the Degree;
• exams that have not been completed (partial exams are not considered);
• eligibility certificates/internships/seminars also obtained after enrolment.

After four years of part-time enrolment, the student acquires full-time status with the resulting rules for determining merit.

To determine the number of years and merits for students who initially enrolled as “part-time” students and who continue their university career as “full-time” students as per the above table, every two years studied with “part-time” status qualifies as one “full-time” year of study. In any case, every year of “part-time” study is regarded as one full year of study.  To determine the number of years and merit for students who started their university career as “full-time” students and then continue as “part-time” students, each academic year of “full-time” study qualifies as two years of “part-time” study.

2. To have gained the following marks (out of 30): the range of marks for each field of study in relation to the weighted mark average in undergraduate degree programmes of the same academic field will be considered. In particular, for the following fields:

• Economics: a minimum mark of 29/30;
• Humanities: 30/30;
• Linguistics: a minimum mark of 29/30;
• Science: a minimum mark of 29/30.

The mark 30 cum laude will be counted as 30 for the purposes of determining the mark average used for the final degree mark.

To benefit from merit-based reductions, you must not already hold a degree obtained before Ministerial Decree 509/1999, a Master’s Degree gained either in Italy or abroad, nor must you hold a Diploma issued by the Conservatorium or Academy of Fine Arts or a Master’s Degree issued under Law no. 508/1999.

Please note: if you fail to meet any of the above conditions, you may not take advantage of reductions based on merit. 

Students who have enrolled at Ca’ Foscari as of the 2021/2022 academic year may benefit from a reduction of 400.00 EUR for every year of enrollment if they have other family members also enrolled in a Bachelor or Master’s Degree at the University.

Every member of the family enrolled at Ca' Foscari may benefit from this reduction if the following conditions are met:

• students requesting the incentive must be up-to-date with their university fees for the 2023/2024 academic year;
• students who apply for the incentive must be financially dependent on the same family unit;
• the reduction is granted exclusively to students whose financial situation as outlined in their ISEE (means-test declaration) is less than 60,000.00 EUR and hold the minimum merit requisites foreseen by their current university fees payment schedule;
• students must submit by the deadline of 11 December 2023 the benefits application online in the reserved area, the ISEE certificate for fee reductions for the right to university education and the “Family Incentive form [ITA]” for households including one or more members enrolled at Ca' Foscari. All members of the household that are simultaneously enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme at Ca' Foscari are required to submit the documentation.

Please note: if you fail to meet any of the above conditions, you may not take advantage of above-stated reductions.

The reduction may be added to other benefits available from the "Student Act" or with other merit or income based reductions offered. Students who are already exempt from paying fees (winners of regional grants or eligible for the same, or students with disabilities equal to or above 66% etc.).
