Psychology Education in Italy

Psychology studies in Italy span three years and are available in full English programs. Italian universities admit students to their psychology faculties based on the language of instruction—Italian or English—through the TOLC-PSI exam. Additionally, a prerequisite for admission to Italian universities is participation in the national university entrance exam, but the threshold score requirement has been removed, making mere participation sufficient for eligibility.

Universities in Italy Offering English Psychology Programs

The University of Padova stands out as the sole public university offering undergraduate psychology programs in English. In contrast, the private Cattolica University also admits students through its entrance examinations.

Language Requirement

Students must achieve at least a B2 level on English proficiency tests designated by the universities, such as a minimum of 5.5/9 on the IELTS.

TOLC-PSI Exam

The TOLC-PSI exam is required for students wishing to pursue English-taught psychology education in Italy. This test covers numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, comprehension, biology, and mathematics, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions with a duration of 100 minutes. The exam can be taken online from home and is available monthly.

University Fees and Scholarship Opportunities

Annual registration fees are approximately 200 Euros, and tuition fees are about 2000 Euros. Payments are adjusted based on the student's financial situation, with most Turkish students paying the minimum due to the currency exchange rate. If a scholarship is awarded, up to 90% of the registration fee is refunded. There is also an opportunity for an annual scholarship of 7000 Euros. Scholarship recipients are exempt from tuition fees, using the scholarship solely for personal expenses such as housing and food. If no scholarship is awarded, tuition fees may be reduced or waived.
