University of Palermo: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    The University of Palermo is a public university in Palermo, Italy, and it fits students who want a broad degree choice at bachelor’s and master’s level. It is a practical option for applicants looking at a large public institution in Sicily.

  2. What you can study

    You can study at bachelor's and master's level in subjects including architecture, civil engineering, construction economics, education, business administration, applied mathematics, human resource management and business management. The institution is described as a research university with programmes delivered through its departments and research centres; the programme catalogue appears limited in the published list available here, so confirm the full current range on the official website.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should check the admission requirements for the specific degree they want, including academic entry conditions, document requirements and any language requirements. The university’s official website should be used to confirm how to apply, whether a programme has a quota or selection process, and which deadlines apply.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee in the information available here; confirm the current amount with its admissions office. Living costs in Palermo will depend on housing, food and transport choices, so you should budget separately for everyday expenses.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated for the programmes listed, so confirm this for each course before applying. Before you submit an application, check recognition of your previous qualifications, the language test requirement if any, visa needs, and whether the programme is taught full time or part time.

  6. How it compares

    Italy has 96 universities, so Palermo sits within a large national higher-education sector rather than a small one. Its public status and mix of bachelor’s and master’s study make it a straightforward choice for applicants who want a state university in Sicily with a compact published programme list.
