Tuition & fees

Italian public-university fees are income-linked (ISEE) for EU/resident students, with fixed bands for international applicants whose income is abroad.

As a public Italian university, Bari Aldo Moro charges an income-linked (ISEE) student contribution rather than a flat tuition. For 2025/26 the annual contribution for the English-taught Medicine (BEMC) course scales roughly from a no-tax area (ISEE under ~€32,000, paying only the ~€120–160 regional ADiSU tax plus €16 stamp) up to about €2,350/year at the highest income band. There is no separate fixed international fee — non-EU students who do not file an ISEE are simply charged the top band.
