## Why students choose it

- A public university with an officially documented foundation year of 1404 and a broad multi-field catalogue.
- A current English-taught list includes undergraduate, postgraduate and single-cycle options for international comparison.
- The Doctoral School publishes annual calls and a wide research portfolio with 3- or 4-year doctoral structures.

## Things to consider

- The 2026–27 degree list is provisional pending ministerial approval, so verify activation before applying.
- Many courses are taught in Italian or partly in Italian; language and access rules must be checked on the specific course page.
- Tuition depends on the applicable contribution rules, residence evidence and course-specific additional contributions; housing and visa costs are separate.

## Best fit for

- Students comparing a broad public-university catalogue in Turin with a specific programme and language fit.
- Applicants prepared to follow UniTo's foreign-qualification, Apply@UniTo and, where relevant, Universitaly procedures.
- Research-focused applicants who can apply through the annual Doctoral School call and verify programme-level supervision and funding.

## Campus and city

UniTo is distributed across Turin and nearby Piedmont locations rather than one enclosed campus. Official pages identify sites including Campus Luigi Einaudi, Palazzo Nuovo and laboratories, libraries and departmental facilities. Applicants should check the location shown on the current course record because teaching sites and course activation can differ by programme and academic year.

Turin is the capital of Piedmont and a major Italian university city. UniTo's official student-facing pages provide information on locations, services, international students and arrival procedures. Housing, transport, food and residence-permit costs are separate from university contributions and vary by contract, neighbourhood and personal use; applicants should confirm current local prices before budgeting.

The university's catalogue and doctoral pages describe laboratory, research, fieldwork, internship and thesis components across different departments, but these are programme-specific rather than a single institution-wide promise. Current course pages should be used to confirm compulsory practical work, project modules, clinical training or mobility for the programme being considered.


## Hostel, food and safety

UniTo directs students to university and regional student-support information, but accommodation is not guaranteed by admission and there is no single university-wide housing price. Students should plan for rent, deposit, utilities, food and transport and apply early through the current housing and right-to-study channels where eligible.

Turin has ordinary grocery, canteen and restaurant options, but UniTo does not publish a universal international or Indian-food entitlement. Students should check the current catering providers, allergy information and dietary arrangements for their teaching location, and plan for independent cooking or local options where needed.

UniTo provides student offices, arrival information and public-service contacts through its official channels. Turin is an urban study destination, so students should follow university and local authority guidance, protect identity and enrolment documents, and take ordinary precautions around housing, transport and personal belongings. This page does not guarantee personal safety.

International applicants with foreign qualifications use Apply@UniTo and follow the current application, document and pre-enrolment instructions. UniTo provides international-student guidance, tuition-fee information, student offices, libraries, orientation and doctoral-school support. Application windows, language evidence, access rules and document requirements are programme-specific and time-sensitive.


## Frequently asked questions

### What is the official name of the university?

The institution uses University of Turin in English and Università degli Studi di Torino in Italian. UniTo and UNITO are common institutional abbreviations. The existing Students Traffic record uses the public slug university-of-turin-italy to avoid a duplicate record.

### Is the University of Turin public?

Yes. UniTo presents itself as a public university in Turin, Italy. Contribution amounts are governed by current university regulations and may vary with residence evidence, economic documentation, course type and additional contributions.

### Which programmes are taught in English?

UniTo publishes a current English-programmes list covering selected undergraduate, postgraduate and single-cycle options, plus courses with English curricula. The full degree catalogue also includes Italian and mixed-language programmes, so applicants must check the individual course record.

### Can international students apply with a foreign qualification?

Yes, subject to the course's access and qualification rules. UniTo says applicants holding foreign qualifications submit through Apply@UniTo, provide required documents and follow any applicable Universitaly pre-enrolment steps and deadlines.

### How much is tuition for international students?

There is no single universal international tuition figure. UniTo's current rules describe a contribution system that can use GDP per capita PPP for students resident abroad, with a first instalment and possible additional course contributions. Check the current regulation and course-specific instructions.

### When do applications open?

Application windows depend on level and access type. For 2026–27, UniTo lists separate windows for postgraduate, undergraduate and 5/6-year programmes, and later restricted or free-access calls for specified applicant groups. Use the current international-student page and course call.

### Does UniTo offer doctoral study?

Yes. The Doctoral School publishes annual calls. UniTo states that PhD programmes normally take three or four years, require a postgraduate qualification or recognised foreign equivalent, and end with a dissertation defence; exact requirements and funding are programme-specific.

### Is accommodation guaranteed?

No. Admission does not itself guarantee housing. Availability, eligibility, price and deadlines depend on the residence or private contract, so students should plan early and confirm current university or regional support options.

### Does the university offer Medicine and Surgery?

UniTo lists Medicine and Surgery as a five- or six-year postgraduate degree category and its international English-programmes page includes it among 5/6-year postgraduate degrees. Applicants must verify the current call, admission test, language, recognition and licensing rules.
