What is the DSU Regional Scholarship in Italy for Indian students?

The DSU (Diritto allo Studio Universitario) is a government need-based regional scholarship providing 100% tuition fee waivers, free university housing/accommodation, free daily canteen meals, and a annual cash stipend (€6,000 to €7,000/year) based on ISEE Parificato family income limits.

Can Indian students study in Italy without IELTS?

Yes! Many top public universities in Italy accept Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificates proving that your previous Bachelor's degree was taught in English, or accept university online video interviews, allowing you to bypass IELTS/TOEFL.

How long is the Post-Study Work Permit in Italy after graduation?

Upon graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Italy, international students can convert their student visa into a 12-month Post-Study Work Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno per Attesa Occupazione) to seek employment or start a business, with direct quota-free conversion into full work permits.
