All 3 notes
  • Every English bachelor's has capped places and EU applicants have their own spring 2027 call; the call closing 15 November 2026 is for open-access degrees, all Italian-taught.
  • Padua's general page gives the EU call for English degrees as 15 March–7 April 2027, but six of the seven programme pages say 9 March–9 April 2027: check your programme's page.
  • Applying costs €60, or only the €55 CEnT-S fee if all your choices use CEnT-S; no Italian certificate is needed for English-taught degrees.
