Economics and Business Education in Italy

Italy ranks among Europe's top five economies and is known not only for its economic strength but also for its distinguished economists, making it a prime destination for international students in economics and business. Unlike Turkey, where programs are generally titled "Business Administration" or "Economics," Italian universities offer varied programs such as "Business Management," "Business and Economics," and "Economics and Management." These programs equip students with the skills needed to excel in the management departments of major corporations.

Why Study Business Economics in Italy?

Italy is a powerhouse in creating global impacts in economics and finance, particularly in cities like Milan, the epicenter of finance and fashion, and Rome, one of the world's most visited cities. Italian universities, such as Bocconi University, stand out as some of the best for economics and business in Europe. Italy is the second European country in terms of the number of universities ranked in the world's top 500, making it an invaluable option for students aiming to make a significant career impact.

Necessary Conditions for Studying Economics and Business in Italy

Prospective students must have completed a 12-year education and participated in the YKS exam to apply to Italian universities. For English-taught programs, students must demonstrate B2 level proficiency through internationally recognized exams like IELTS or TOEFL. Some universities may also conduct their entrance exams.

TOLC-E Exam: A Gateway to Italian Business Schools

TOLC-E, managed by CISIA (Consortium of Inter-University Integrated Access Systems), is a standardized online exam required for admission to various economics and business-related programs. This exam assesses logical reasoning, text analysis, and mathematical skills through 36 multiple-choice questions over 90 minutes, available in both English and Italian.

Financial Support and University Fees

Students face annual registration fees around 200 Euros and tuition fees about 2,000 Euros. However, the actual amount can vary significantly based on the student's financial situation. Many Turkish students benefit from lower costs due to the exchange rate. Successful scholarship applicants might receive up to 90% refund on their registration fees and enjoy substantial financial aid that covers tuition and personal expenses, reducing or waiving tuition fees entirely.
