The university’s exact wording
“The call for applications states: "Occorre, inoltre, possedere una sufficiente padronanza della lingua inglese. Questo requisito è soddisfatto se nell'ambito del summenzionato corso idoneo all'ammissione siano stati conseguiti almeno 3 CFU in attività formative erogate in lingua inglese o che comportino una verifica della conoscenza della lingua inglese. In alternativa, è sufficiente produrre una certificazione di conoscenza dell'inglese di livello B1 (CEFR - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), o livello superiore, riconosciuta dalla Facoltà." The level for this degree is B1, not the B2 that Sapienza's university wide sheet sets for its English taught pre-selection programmes. No test is named and no minimum score is published for this degree. The 3 CFU route carries no country limit, so an applicant from Pakistan can use it. Separately, the curriculum itself contains a 3 CFU first year item, AAF2457 verification of knowledge of the English language B2, which is taken during the degree rather than at admission.”

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.

How it admits
Open access
accesso libero
The university's own wording
“The catalogue prints "Modalità di accesso: Verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale". The call for applications is headed "Modalità di ammissione al Corso di laurea magistrale con verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale". No number of places, no ranking and no selection quota is published. This is open access with a requirements check, not accesso programmato.”
Entrance tests
The university's own test
What the call asks for
A three year degree (laurea) or three year university diploma, or another qualification awarded in Italy or abroad and recognised as suitable under current rules.
At least 30 CFU in total across the subject sectors MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/06, MAT/07 and MAT/08.
At least 12 CFU in total in the subject sector FIS/01.
At least 39 CFU in total across the subject sectors ICAR/01, ICAR/02, ICAR/04, ICAR/07, ICAR/08 and ICAR/09, split as set out in the course teaching regulations.
If the credit thresholds are not fully met, the curriculum may be topped up by obtaining the missing university credits through single exams before enrolment.
Sufficient command of English. This is satisfied by at least 3 CFU earned in the qualifying degree in activities delivered in English, or in activities that include a check on knowledge of English. Alternatively, a B1 CEFR certificate or higher, recognised by the Faculty.
Personal preparation is treated as satisfied if the average mark in the qualifying degree was at least 22/30, or the final mark was at least 88/110. In all other cases the Consiglio d'Area didattica sets an entrance test on ICAR/01, ICAR/02, ICAR/04, ICAR/07, ICAR/08 and ICAR/09.
Non-EU citizens resident abroad who need a study visa must pre-enrol on Universitaly, and must pass the Italian language test at B2 or higher or present an Italian certificate at B2 or higher, because this degree is delivered in Italian.
Applicants who have not yet graduated may request the requirements check, provided they graduate by 19 December 2026 if the degree is from another Italian or international university, or by 23 January 2027 if it is from Sapienza.
The English rule
Medium of Instruction letter accepted
“The call for applications states: "Occorre, inoltre, possedere una sufficiente padronanza della lingua inglese. Questo requisito è soddisfatto se nell'ambito del summenzionato corso idoneo all'ammissione siano stati conseguiti almeno 3 CFU in attività formative erogate in lingua inglese o che comportino una verifica della conoscenza della lingua inglese. In alternativa, è sufficiente produrre una certificazione di conoscenza dell'inglese di livello B1 (CEFR - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), o livello superiore, riconosciuta dalla Facoltà." The level for this degree is B1, not the B2 that Sapienza's university wide sheet sets for its English taught pre-selection programmes. No test is named and no minimum score is published for this degree. The 3 CFU route carries no country limit, so an applicant from Pakistan can use it. Separately, the curriculum itself contains a 3 CFU first year item, AAF2457 verification of knowledge of the English language B2, which is taken during the degree rather than at admission.”

English, accepted proofs
- Medium of Instruction letter
- The university's own test
Only what this call names. A proof another degree at the same university accepts is not on this list unless this call says so too.
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 two year laurea magistrale in civil engineering at Sapienza in Rome, with second year tracks in geotechnics, hydraulics, road infrastructure and structural design. It suits an engineering graduate who can study in Italian, because only 8 of the 60 module rows in the published plan are delivered in English.
Civil Engineering is a two year laurea magistrale at Sapienza University of Rome. The Italian title is Ingegneria Civile. It sits in degree class LM-23 and is run by the Faculty of Ingegneria civile e industriale, through the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Strutturale e Geotecnica. The Infostud course code is 33487. The campus is Rome. The catalogue records the delivery mode as Convenzionale - In presenza.
The university's full description
Read the teaching language before you apply. The catalogue lists the language as Italiano, Inglese. The published study plan tags every module with its delivery language. Of the 60 module rows listed, 52 are tagged ITA and 8 are tagged ENG. Every compulsory first year module is tagged ITA. All 8 English modules are optional second year choices. This is an Italian taught degree with some English electives. It is not an English taught degree.
The first year is common to all students. It carries four modules of 12 CFU each: Foundations and earth retaining structures, Design of Earthquake Resistant Buildings, Design and construction of roads, and Engineering of Hydraulic Works. It also carries a 3 CFU item, AAF2457 verification of knowledge of the English language B2. The second year splits into four tracks, named in the plan as Geotecnica, Idraulica, Infrastrutture Viarie and Progettazione delle Strutture. The final exam is worth 24 CFU. The eight modules tagged ENG are Geotechnical earthquake engineering, Maritime Hydraulics, Hydraulic risk adaptation and mitigation measures, MARITIME CONSTRUCTIONS, ADVANCED STRUCTURAL DESIGN, Assessment and Retrofit of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings, Design of Steel Structures, and Finite elements in structural analysis.
Access is open. The catalogue prints the admission mode as Verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale. No cap on places and no ranking is published. You must hold a three year degree or an equivalent qualification awarded outside Italy. You must also meet credit thresholds in named Italian subject sectors: at least 30 CFU across MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/06, MAT/07 and MAT/08, at least 12 CFU in FIS/01, and at least 39 CFU across ICAR/01, ICAR/02, ICAR/04, ICAR/07, ICAR/08 and ICAR/09. If you fall short, you may take single exams to make up the missing credits before you enrol.
There is no minimum grade. The personal preparation check counts as satisfied if your average mark was at least 22/30, or your final mark was at least 88/110. Below either figure the Consiglio d'Area didattica sets an entrance test on the ICAR subjects. A lower mark does not block you. It routes you to a test.
The admission check costs 10,00 euro, paid on Infostud with course code 33487, from 2 July 2026. The 30 euro MoveIn application fee does not apply here, because this degree is not part of the MoveIn pre-selection. Tuition is income based. The published maximum for this faculty group is 2,924 euro a year. A student whose income is earned abroad, and who therefore cannot file an Italian ISEE, pays a fixed amount set by country band instead. Sapienza lists Pakistan in Band A, which is 300 euro a year, payable in three instalments of 90, 105 and 105 euro.
A non-EU applicant who needs a study visa has one usable date, 15 September 2026. The later dates of 15 October 2026, 17 November 2026 and 17 December 2026 are open to other applicants. 14 January 2027 is reserved for people who already hold a Sapienza degree or are about to graduate there. A non-EU applicant resident abroad must also pre-enrol on Universitaly. Because this degree is delivered in Italian, the Italian language requirement at B2 or higher applies to visa applicants.
The catalogue also records an international track for this degree: Doppio titolo: italo-francese o italo-spagnolo.

Asked about this programme
The questions this one gets.
Is this degree taught in English?
No. The published study plan tags each module with its delivery language. Of the 60 module rows, 52 are tagged ITA and 8 are tagged ENG. Every compulsory first year module is tagged ITA. The eight English modules are optional second year choices.
Do I need IELTS or TOEFL for this degree?
The call for applications names no test and sets no score. It asks for a B1 CEFR certificate or higher recognised by the Faculty, or at least 3 CFU delivered in English in your qualifying degree. Which certificates the Faculty recognises is not published for this degree.
Can a student from Pakistan use the English waiver?
Yes, on this degree. The route of at least 3 CFU delivered in English during your bachelor's degree carries no country limit. Sapienza's university wide medium of instruction waiver is limited to the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, but that sheet governs the MoveIn pre-selection programmes and this degree is not one of them.
What is the deadline if I need a study visa?
15 September 2026. The call names it as the only usable date for a non-EU applicant who needs a study visa. The later dates of 15 October, 17 November and 17 December 2026 are for other applicants, and 14 January 2027 is reserved for Sapienza graduates.
What will I pay in tuition?
Sapienza lists Pakistan in Band A, which is 300 euro a year in three instalments of 90, 105 and 105 euro. That band applies to students whose income is earned abroad and who cannot file an Italian ISEE. The published maximum for this faculty group is 2,924 euro a year.
Is there a minimum grade?
No. An average of at least 22/30, or a final mark of at least 88/110, means you skip the entrance test. A lower mark sends you to a test on the ICAR subjects rather than rejecting you.
Do I apply through MoveIn?
No. This degree is not on the MoveIn pre-selection list, so the 30 euro MoveIn application fee does not apply. Admission runs through Infostud with course code 33487, and the admission check costs 10,00 euro.
Do I need Italian?
Yes, if you are a non-EU applicant who needs a study visa. The Italian language requirement at B2 or higher applies to courses delivered in Italian, and this degree is delivered in Italian.
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.
