Unverified. Not yet verified. A person has not opened the source for this cycle. Read off the institution own programme page on 13 September 2026 by a single research pass. It has NOT been independently re-checked: the verification stage of that run was stopped before it reached this record, so the record renders as unverified rather than claiming a receipt it does not have. The English requirement is held at unverified unless a per programme source URL was found. Figures here are a starting point for a reader, not a checked claim. Open questions: 1) The 2026/2027 tuition figures are not published yet. The Tuition Fees and Benefits page says the information for the academic year 2026-2027 will be published after 30 September, so the 300 euro Band A figure is read off the current Art. 38 table, whose deadlines are the 2025/2026 ones. 2) The Art. 38 page adds a regional tax of 140 euro and a stamp duty of 16 euro in its distance learning section. It does not say whether those are added on top of the Band A contribution for an on campus programme like this one. 3) No start month is published for 2026/2027. The course timetable page is empty, the catalogue carries a banner saying the 2026-2027 contents are being updated, and the university academic calendar page only lists the Christmas and Easter suspensions for 2025-2026. 4) The two published deadlines do not agree. Sapienza's admissions page says the MoveIN pre-selection deadline for non EU visa applicants expired on 15 May 2026, while this programme's Apply page, still live, describes 15 September 2026 as the final deadline for non EU applicants using the MoveIN platform. 5) The call does not say whether the 80 out of 100 minimum GPA is applied again at the degree programme's own eligibility check, or only at pre-selection. 6) The catalogue does not print a total CFU for the degree, so the 120 CFU normal for an Italian laurea magistrale is not recorded here. 7) The study plan shows at least one elective taught in Italian, Comparative and European Labour Law, tagged ITA. The share of the elective pool available to a student with no Italian is not stated. Sapienza Università di Roma, course catalogue

The university’s exact wording
“The MSc European Studies entry in Sapienza's Admission requirements 2026/2027 prints: "MINIMUM ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS Level B2 - Upper Intermediate - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The following test scores are accepted: IELTS: 5.5 or higher; TOEFL iBT: 80 or higher; Cambridge English: B2 First or higher; Trinity College London: Integrated Skills in English - ISE II or higher." The same entry sets the waiver: "Please note that the above English language requirements are waived for: Native speakers of English; Students holding an English-taught diploma/degree from an accredited institution in the EU/EEA/Schengen or Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States; Students holding an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas/certificates." That waiver is country limited, so a degree taught in English in Pakistan does not carry it. This programme's own call adds a second check that applies to everyone: "Personal knowledge, as well as possession of an adequate knowledge of English, corresponding to level B-2 ... is assessed by an academic committee appointed by the Degree Programme Committee and coordinated by the Chair of the Degree Programme Committee, through an online interview conducted in English."”

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.

accesso libero
The university's own wording
“The official call is headed "Admission procedure for the Master's degree programme with assessment of entry requirements and personal knowledge in: European Studies". The Italian catalogue page prints the field "Modalità di accesso: Verifica dei requisiti e della preparazione personale". Neither the call nor the catalogue publishes a number of places, a ranked list or an entrance test, so this is open access with a requirement check rather than accesso programmato.”
Entrance tests
Interview
What the call asks for
A three-year degree or university diploma, or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable under current legislation.
Admission is open to all those holding a degree in the following fields: L-14 Legal Services, L-16 Administration and Organisation, L-18 Economics and Business Management, L-33 Economics, L-36 Political Science and International Relations, L-37 Social Sciences for Cooperation, Development and Peace, LMG-01 Law, as well as a degree in the corresponding categories established pursuant to Ministerial Decree No. 509 of 3 November 1999.
A holder of a three-year degree in another class, or a master's degree, or a degree obtained abroad may also be admitted, subject to a decision by the Area Educational Board based on an assessment by the Academic Committee, provided they have earned at least 60 CFU in the subject areas listed in the call. Of those 60 CFU at least 18 must have been obtained in the field of law, and the rest must be spread across at least two other subject areas.
Applicants must also meet specific academic requirements and demonstrate adequate personal knowledge, including a command of English at a level equivalent to at least B2.
Sapienza's Admission requirements 2026/2027 states for this programme: Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree in Economics, Law, Political Science, or a closely related field.
Sapienza's Admission requirements 2026/2027 states for this programme: MINIMUM GPA: 80/100.
The English rule
IELTS required
“The MSc European Studies entry in Sapienza's Admission requirements 2026/2027 prints: "MINIMUM ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS Level B2 - Upper Intermediate - Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The following test scores are accepted: IELTS: 5.5 or higher; TOEFL iBT: 80 or higher; Cambridge English: B2 First or higher; Trinity College London: Integrated Skills in English - ISE II or higher." The same entry sets the waiver: "Please note that the above English language requirements are waived for: Native speakers of English; Students holding an English-taught diploma/degree from an accredited institution in the EU/EEA/Schengen or Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States; Students holding an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable diplomas/certificates." That waiver is country limited, so a degree taught in English in Pakistan does not carry it. This programme's own call adds a second check that applies to everyone: "Personal knowledge, as well as possession of an adequate knowledge of English, corresponding to level B-2 ... is assessed by an academic committee appointed by the Degree Programme Committee and coordinated by the Chair of the Degree Programme Committee, through an online interview conducted in English."”

The degree
About this degree.
A two year Master's degree at Sapienza's Faculty of Law that reads the European Union through law, economics, history and international relations, taught entirely in English. It suits a law, economics or political science graduate who wants to work with EU institutions, regulated markets or the legal side of European business.
European studies is a laurea magistrale in class LM-90 at Sapienza Università di Roma. The catalogue gives the programme code 33468. It runs for 2 years at the Faculty of Giurisprudenza, in the Department of Studi Giuridici ed Economici, in Rome. The language is English. The catalogue records the lesson mode as Conventional, in Person.
The university's full description
The programme presentation says the degree was built for the legal professions, where there is growing demand for study programmes that combine law, economics, history and international relations. It is structured into three curricula: EU's Law and Economics, Comparative and European Law, and European Law, Institutions and Innovative Markets. Two of the three also carry a double degree track. EU's Law and Economics is valid for the Italian and Nicaraguan double degree. Comparative and European Law is valid for the Italian and Albanian one.
The study plan publishes taught modules for each of the three curricula, with the credit weight and teaching language of every one. Core courses carry 9 CFU. Elective courses carry 6 CFU. In the second year students take 3 CFU of Other Educational Activities, either a 75 hour internship or participation in seminars, conferences and professional training courses, graded pass or fail. The final examination is a thesis worth 18 CFU, written and discussed in English.
Admission is not by entrance exam. The official call is headed as an admission procedure with assessment of entry requirements and personal knowledge. You pay a 10.00 euro fee on Infostud under code 33468, wait for the outcome of the eligibility check, then sit an online interview in English with an academic committee. The interview is where personal preparation and the B2 level of English are verified.
An international applicant who needs a study visa reaches this degree through Sapienza's MoveIN pre-selection, which is where a pre-acceptance letter is issued. Sapienza states that it works with no agency and that pre-acceptance letters come only through MoveIN.

Asked about this programme
The questions this one gets.
Which English tests does this degree accept?
Four are printed for this programme: 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 on the list.
My bachelor's degree in Pakistan was taught in English. Does that waive the test?
No. The waiver for this programme covers native speakers of English, 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 holders of an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable certificate. Pakistan is not on that list.
Is there a written entrance exam?
No. Sapienza checks your entry requirements, then an academic committee holds a short online interview in English. The interview covers your personal preparation and confirms your English is at B2.
What mark do I need?
Sapienza prints a minimum GPA of 80 out of 100 for this programme. Sapienza also warns that meeting the stated academic and language requirements is not a guarantee of admission, because each application is assessed individually.
There are two fees. Which one is which?
The 30 euro fee is the MoveIN pre-selection application fee, charged per application, with no waiver. The 10.00 euro fee is separate and is paid on Infostud under code 33468 for the eligibility check run by the degree programme.
What does a year cost?
Sapienza does not price this degree on its own. A student who files income tax abroad pays a fixed yearly contribution set by the country band. Pakistan is in Band A, which Sapienza puts at 300 euro in total for the year, paid in three instalments of 90, 105 and 105 euro.
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.
