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.

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 Sapienza master's degree in the study of fashion, taught in English and run jointly with Unitelma Sapienza. The first semester is online and the rest is mostly in person in Rome, and it suits a humanities, design, communication or economics graduate who wants to work on fashion as culture, branding and industry rather than train as a designer.
Sapienza Università di Roma runs this master's degree with Unitelma Sapienza. The Italian name on the call is Teoria e tecniche della moda. The catalogue code is 33553. The degree class is LM-65. The faculty is Lettere e Filosofia. The department is STORIA ANTROPOLOGIA RELIGIONI ARTE SPETTACOLO. The degree lasts two years.
The university's full description
All teaching is in English. The catalogue gives the lesson mode as Blended mode - mostly in person. The programme page says only the first semester of the first year is delivered exclusively online. Exams are taken in Rome. The subjects cover sociology, history of art, anthropology, history, economics, management, communication and marketing, drawing and design, psychology, information technology, aesthetics, and law.
The study plan is published and lists modules by year and semester. The first table names FASHION IN CINEMA, FASHION BRANDING AND CONSUMER EXPERIENCE, XIX AND XX CENTURY ART HISTORY, WORKSHOP I Qualitative Methods for Research in Fashion and FASHION DRAWING AND ILLUSTRATION. The rest of the plan is built from optional groups. The groups set credit totals of 18 CFU, 6 CFU, 6 CFU, 12 CFU and 6 CFU. Later modules include INNOVATION IN FASHION MATERIALS, GOVERNANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY FOR FASHION, FASHION ARCHIVES, FASHION ANTHROPOLOGY and WORKSHOP II: EXPERIENCING FASHION.
Entry needs a bachelor's degree or a three-year university diploma, or a foreign qualification recognised as suitable under current legislation. The admission requirements document asks for a bachelor degree in fashion, arts and performing arts, architecture, spectacle and music, history, media and communication, sociology and economics and marketing, or textile engineering. It sets a minimum GPA of 80 out of 100. It states that the evaluation will be according to the final grade of the Bachelor's Degree, CV, and portfolio. The call adds a second route: a degree in class L-3, or at least 90 CFU in the listed disciplinary sectors.
The minimum English level is CEFR B2. For this degree Sapienza prints IELTS 5.5 or higher and TOEFL iBT 80 or higher. Cambridge English B2 First or higher and Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English ISE II or higher are also accepted. Duolingo is not on the list. The waiver named for this degree covers native speakers of English, holders of an English-taught degree from the EU, EEA or Schengen area or from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or the United States, and holders of an International Baccalaureate, GCSE or comparable certificate. A Pakistani English-medium degree is not on that list. The call adds one route: if no B2 certificate has been submitted, a language check is taken on arrival in Italy.
Tuition is 1,600 euro a year for 2026 to 2027, regardless of income, plus the regional tax and stamp duty. The first instalment is 800 euro. The pre-selection application fee is 30 euro per application and is never waived. Requesting the eligibility check on Infostud costs a further 10 euro. The call lists five eligibility check dates from 2 July 2026. Only 15 September 2026 applies to applicants from non-EU countries who need a student visa.
The MoveIn pre-selection for 2026 to 2027 has already closed. Sapienza states the deadline for visa seeking candidates was 15 May 2026, and that all other candidates could apply until 31 July 2026. Sapienza also states that pre-acceptance letters are only issued through the MoveIn portal.
