The money
What you pay, and what you must prove you have.
Two different things, kept apart on purpose: a bill you pay, and a balance a visa officer needs to see that never gets spent.

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
“The Italian course page prints the access mode as "Prova in ingresso per la verifica delle conoscenze", rendered on the English page as "Entrance test to verify knowledge". The 2026-2027 call for applications is headed "Three-year degree programmes with an entrance examination to assess knowledge in: Business Administration and Management Degree Class L-18". No section of the call sets a number of places or a merit ranking. The test result cannot refuse admission: "You must complete the Further Required Courses (OFA) if you have obtained a score lower than: 9/36 in the TOLC-E; 8 in the selected sections of the CEnT-S; 960/1600 in the SAT (only for the two English-taught programmes)". The MoveIN pre-selection that a visa seeking applicant must pass first is separate and is selective: "Possession of the academic and language requirements indicated in this document is NOT a guarantee of admission - each application is assessed individually".”
Entrance tests
TOLC-ESATThe university's own test
What the call asks for
A high school diploma or equivalent qualification corresponding to at least 12 years of schooling, or 11 years plus a Foundation Year or one year of higher education.
A solid mathematical background. Sapienza states that preference is given to students who have completed scientific or quantitatively oriented high school studies.
One entry test. For the English taught Business Management curriculum Sapienza accepts the SAT at 960 or higher, taken from 1 January 2024, or the CEnT-S, the CISIA English Test-Sciences, at an overall converted score of 18 of 55.
Sapienza states that the English TOLC test is no longer accepted.
For the Italian taught curricula the accepted tests are the TOLC-E, valid from January 2025, or the CEnT-S, valid from November 2025.
A minimum GPA of 80 out of 100, for the MoveIN pre-selection.
English at CEFR level B2, unless one of the published waivers applies.
A score below 9/36 in the TOLC-E, below 8 in the selected sections of the CEnT-S, or below 960/1600 in the SAT does not refuse admission. It adds Further Required Courses, OFA, which must be passed within the first year, otherwise the first year is repeated.
Non-EU applicants resident abroad also need a pre-acceptance letter from the MoveIN pre-selection and a pre-enrolment application on Universitaly.
The English language certificate must reach the Faculty of Economics academic office, through a Google Form, before the study plan is submitted. Without it a student may still enrol on the Italian taught curricula.

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 degree in business administration, economics, law and quantitative methods at Sapienza's Faculty of Economics in Rome. One of its five curricula, Business Management, is taught entirely in English, and it suits a school leaver with a solid mathematics background who wants an accounting, finance or management career.
Business Administration and Management is a three year first cycle degree at Sapienza Universita di Roma, in the Italian degree class L-18. The Italian title is Economia aziendale e Management. It is run by the Department of Management inside the Faculty of Economics. Teaching is in Rome, at Piazzale Aldo Moro 5, 00185 Roma. The course catalogue lists the language of instruction as Italian and English.
The university's full description
The first year is shared by all students. It covers business administration, economics, private and public law, mathematics and statistics. From the second year the degree splits into five curricula. Four are taught in Italian: Amministrazione delle aziende, Gestione d'impresa, Finanza, and Intermediari e Mercati Finanziari. The fifth, Business Management, is taught entirely in English.
The English curriculum is the one an international student normally takes. Year one covers Business Administration, Microeconomics, Calculus and Linear Algebra, Financial Reporting, Macroeconomics, Introduction to Private Law and Data Analysis for Economics and Business. Year two covers Economic Policy, Statistics and Probability, Financial Markets and Institutions, Corporate Management, Financial Mathematics, Business Strategy, Strategy and Performance Management and Computer Tools for Economic and Business Analysis. Year three covers Budgeting and Business Planning, International Commercial Law, International Tax Law, Marketing Management and Sustainability Lab, with 12 CFU of electives, a 12 CFU optional group named Business Management I, and a 3 CFU final exam. Sapienza states that the Business Management curriculum lets a student take a Double Bachelor's Degree with Universite de Liege.
Admission is open. The Italian course page gives the access mode as Prova in ingresso per la verifica delle conoscenze, which the English page renders as Entrance test to verify knowledge. There is no cap on places and no merit ranking. A low test score does not refuse entry. It adds Further Required Courses, known as OFA, which have to be passed within the first year. For the English curriculum the accepted tests are the CEnT-S, run by CISIA, or the SAT, run by the College Board. Sapienza states that the English TOLC is no longer accepted.
An applicant who needs a student visa applies first through Sapienza's MoveIN pre-selection platform, which is what issues the pre-acceptance letter. For this programme Sapienza sets a minimum GPA of 80 out of 100, and asks for SAT 960 or higher, taken from 1 January 2024, or a CEnT-S overall converted score of 18 of 55. Sapienza also states that holding the academic and language requirements is not a guarantee of admission, because each application is assessed individually.
English is required at CEFR level B2. For this programme Sapienza accepts IELTS 5.5 or higher, TOEFL iBT 80 or higher, Cambridge English B2 First or higher, and Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English ISE II or higher. Duolingo is not accepted. The requirement is waived for native speakers of English, for holders of an English taught diploma or degree from an accredited institution in the EU, EEA or Schengen area or in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or the United States, and for holders of an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas or certificates. That last waiver carries no country list.
Tuition for 2026-2027 is not published yet. Sapienza's fees page states that the 2026-2027 amounts appear after 30 September. Fees are means tested against the ISEE, and students with foreign income are placed in reduced country bands, so this degree does not have one flat annual price.

Asked about this programme
The questions this one gets.
Is this degree taught in English?
Partly. The degree has five curricula. Four are taught in Italian and one, Business Management, is taught entirely in English. You choose the curriculum when you submit your study plan. Your English certificate has to reach the Faculty of Economics academic office before you submit it.
Do I need IELTS?
You need proof of English at CEFR level B2. Sapienza accepts IELTS 5.5 or higher, TOEFL iBT 80 or higher, Cambridge English B2 First or higher, and Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English ISE II or higher. Duolingo is not accepted. The requirement is waived if you hold an International Baccalaureate, a GCSE or a comparable diploma or certificate, and that waiver has no country list attached to it.
Is there a limit on places?
No. The access mode is an entrance test to verify knowledge, printed in Italian as Prova in ingresso per la verifica delle conoscenze. There is no ranking and no fixed number of seats. A score below the threshold adds Further Required Courses, called OFA, which you have to pass in your first year.
What does it cost to apply?
The MoveIN pre-selection costs 30 euro for each application, and Sapienza allows two applications per candidate per intake. Sapienza states that no waiver is available. The Faculty of Economics call adds a separate 10 euro registration fee on Infostud.
Can I still apply for 2026-2027 from Pakistan?
Not on the visa route. The MoveIN deadline for visa seeking candidates was 15 May 2026 and the Universitaly pre-enrolment deadline was 30 June 2026. Both have passed. The date still open is 29 October 2026, to take the entry test and register on Infostud, and that route does not produce a student visa.
When does teaching start?
The first semester for first year bachelor students runs from 15 September to 11 December 2026. The second semester runs from 22 February to 31 May 2027. There is one intake a year.
How much is tuition?
Sapienza has not published the 2026-2027 amounts. Its fees page states they appear after 30 September. Fees are means tested against the ISEE, and students with foreign income fall into reduced country bands, so there is no single yearly price for this degree.
One programme, one university, once a year.
That is what Universitaly allows. Three questions tell you where you stand before you spend that choice: the degree level, what the visa wants in the bank, and how much calendar is left.
