The English-language curriculum of Sapienza’s three-year business administration degree (class L-18). The Faculty of Economics runs it alongside an Italian-language curriculum, and the call says the English curriculum is taught fully in English. Teaching is in person in Rome.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• We could not load Sapienza’s page on foreign qualifications during this check. An earlier draft said Sapienza accepts the Irish Leaving Certificate with at least 6 subjects at a minimum of D3 at Higher Level or O1 at Ordinary Level. Those are old Leaving Cert grades, so confirm this rule and how current H1-H8 and O1-O8 grades are read with the International Student Office (studentistranieri@uniroma1.it). Under Italy’s national rules, the Leaving Cert normally gives access.
• You need a CISIA CEnT-S result or a SAT. For this course, CEnT-S covers Mathematics (15 questions) and Reasoning on texts and data (15 questions). The result does not exclude anyone. A score below 8 on those sections, or a SAT below 960/1600, gives you an OFA requirement in maths, which you must clear in first year. Leaving Cert Maths is useful preparation.
• English at B2 level is required. You are exempt if you are a native speaker or hold a high school diploma taken in English from an accredited institution in the EU/EEA, which should cover the Leaving Cert, but confirm this with the faculty. You send proof through the faculty’s online form before you submit your study plan.

Costs

• Sapienza fees depend on income. The maximum for economics was €2,821 a year in 2025/26, plus €140 regional tax and €16 stamp duty. Families whose income is earned abroad pay a fixed amount by country band instead. Ireland is in Band C, which was €1,500 a year in 2025/26. There is a €10 Sapienza admission fee, and a separate CISIA fee if you sit CEnT-S (check the amount on cisiaonline.it).
