The university’s exact wording
“No English certificate is required and no minimum IELTS or TOEFL score is published for this degree. English is assessed inside the Luiss admission process. The non-EU admission route page for 2027/2028 lists "Politics: Philosophy and Economics" under "Courses taught in English" and states: "For degree programmes taught in Italian, the test will be taken in Italian; for those taught in English, it will be taken in English." Luiss states the rule plainly on its 2027/2028 early admission test page, which also lists this degree among the programmes taught in English: "Do you need an English language certificate? No, passing the English language test is sufficient to access courses in English." This degree's own page on the Luiss application portal states, under Language requirements, English: "Based on the admission procedure, students will need to demonstrate their language knowledge." The language choice made at application is binding: a test sat in English allows enrolment on any course, a test sat in Italian allows only courses taught in Italian.”

Why this figure, and not a lower one
Italian state fees usually scale with an assessed household indicator. Where the call states one figure it appears above; where it states a scale, this page says so rather than averaging it.

The university's own wording
“Admission is by selection, not open enrolment. The non-EU route page states: "The Luiss Test is one of the ways to participate in the selection process for admission to the Bachelor's Degree Courses and the Single-Cycle Master's Degree Course in Law, aimed at candidates who are nationals of a non-EU country or a country outside the Schengen area." The same page states: "The Committee assesses applications based on the Test result, the submitted documentation, and any assessment interview." A candidate names one degree programme and that choice is binding for admission and enrolment. Luiss publishes no number of places for this degree.”
Entrance tests
The university's own testSATInterview
What the call asks for
A valid upper secondary school diploma that gives access to Italian universities, already held or obtained by the deadlines Luiss sets.
For a qualification awarded abroad, admission depends on Luiss verifying the documents and the qualification's suitability under current Italian law. If the documents are not compliant or arrive late, enrolment cannot be completed even after an offer.
Applicants from outside the EU and Schengen area choose one of two routes: the Luiss Test, or direct admission on certifications.
On the certifications route the published minimum scores are SAT total score 1200/1600, LSAT total score 160/180, ACT total score 25/36, and IB Diploma or predicted grade 36/45.
The Luiss Test is made of psycho aptitude questions inspired by the SAT model and assesses logical reasoning, problem solving and mathematical skills. It is sat online with live proctoring and audio video checks.
Because this degree is taught in English, its Luiss Test is sat in English, and that language choice is binding for enrolment.
An application names one degree programme only, and that choice is binding for admission and enrolment.
A separate early route exists for students who attend the Luiss Orientation 4 Summer School. Luiss states that test is 50 multiple choice questions in 75 minutes and that a score of at least 60 out of 100 is needed to be admitted.

Before any of it counts
Start the legalisation chain first
A degree awarded outside Europe has to be attested and legalised before an Italian university reads it. That chain is decided by the country you apply from, and no office on it publishes a turnaround.
The degree
About this degree.
A three year bachelor's degree in Rome taught entirely in English, combining philosophy, politics and economics with law, history, sociology and quantitative methods. It suits a student who wants a broad social science base and a third year specialism in artificial intelligence, sustainability or fundamental rights.
Luiss Guido Carli runs this degree at its Rome campus. The official title is Bachelor's Degree in Politics: Philosophy and Economics. It lasts 3 years and carries 180 ECTS. Teaching is entirely in English. The figures here are for the 2027/2028 intake, which is the open one.
The university's full description
The first two years are the same for every student. The Year 1 modules are Microeconomics (8 ECTS), Contemporary History (8), Sociology (8), Elements of Mathematical Analysis, AI Literacy and Coding Lab (4), Grand Challenge (Module I) (2), Public Law (8), Political Philosophy (8), Behavioral Economics and Psychology (8) and Statistics (8). Students also take one humanities elective worth 2 ECTS from three: Humanities lab: reading classics for civic leadership, Humanities lab: Nature of Reasoning, and Humanities lab: the politics of meaning. An introduction to semiotics. The study plan prints no credit value for Elements of Mathematical Analysis.
The Year 2 modules are Lab of Data Analysis for Economics and Political Science (2 ECTS), Macroeconomics (8), International Relations (8), Methods of Social Research (8), History of Political Thought (8), Grand Challenge (Module II) (2), International Law (8), European Union Law (8), Political Science (8) and Academic Writing Skills. The study plan prints no credit value for Academic Writing Skills.
In the third year a student picks one of three majors. Each major has three modules worth 6 ECTS each. The Artificial Intelligence major teaches Economics of Digital Innovation, Artificial Intelligence for Social Impact and The Law and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. The Sustainability major teaches Development Economics, Global Demography and Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability. The Protection of Fundamental Rights major teaches Economics of Inequality, History of Political Institutions and Multilevel Protection of Fundamental Rights.
All three majors then share the same additional credits: 2 Electives (12 ECTS), Academic English (6), Second Mandatory Language (6), Internship (6), Other activities (4) and Final Thesis (4). Each major totals 180 ECTS. The second language is chosen from Arabic, Chinese, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and German.
During the first two years students complete a Grand Challenge. Luiss describes it as a social challenge worked on under an academic tutor, ending in a research or policy project that can be linked to an internship. Double degrees are offered with Victoria University of Wellington and with Sciences Po Bordeaux.
Tuition for the first year of the 2027/2028 intake is 15,000 euro, paid in three instalments, plus the regional tax. The fee to take part in the selection is 150 euro and it is not refunded. Applications for the first selection session run from October 2026 to 10 February 2027. The Luiss Test is held from 22 to 26 February 2027 and enrolment closes on 4 May 2027. The full admission notice is not published yet. Luiss says it will appear from October 2026.
