Opportunities for Specialising Master Programmes

Financial benefits

For the academic years 2024-25 and 2025-26, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore adheres to the "PA 110 e lode" project, an initiative of the Ministry for Public Administration designed to enhance the continuing education of public employees.

The aim of the project is to allow employees of the Public Administration to obtain a first- or second-level specialising master programme at favourable rates, thus expanding their skills and enhancing their career. This project therefore offers a unique opportunity to update professional skills in a high-level academic context, with the support of qualified professors/lecturers, offering training courses designed to meet the specific needs of the public sector.

Reduced participation fees apply.

In addition, students who are employees of the Public Administration are granted by the Department of Public Administration a contribution equal to 50% of the enrolment cost incurred, within the limits of a maximum threshold of:

  • €1,000 for undergraduate, graduate and integrated degree programmes
  • €2,500 for first- and second-level specialising master programmes

Below are the training courses covered by the Agreement:

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore and Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. have entered into a special agreement for the management of the "PER MERITO" loan for the benefit of students enrolled in three-year degrees, graduate programmes, integrated degree programmes, annual and two-year university masters, research doctorates, courses abroad (double degree or joint degree) and Erasmus.

The Fund aims to offer the necessary guarantees to allow deserving young people to obtain funding for university enrolment or post-graduate specialization courses or foreign language study courses.
Young people who meet the requirements provided for by the legislation, in order to access the funding guaranteed by the Fund, must fill in the application form, attach the required documentation and go to the branches of the lenders participating in the initiative.

Who can apply for funding
students enrolled in first or second level university Masters, up to date with the payment of university fees and in possession of a bachelor's or master's degree, respectively, with a grade of at least 100/110 and without the need to present a payslip as a guarantee. The repayment of the loan starts from 30 months from the disbursement of the last installment.

It is possible to request a minimum amount of €3,000 and a maximum of €15,000 per year in the case of multi-year courses, to be used flexibly, not exclusively to cover the enrolment instalment.
