Fee payment regulations
Below are the fee payment regulations for the Master in New Food Thinking:
The university fees for the Master program amount to 16,500.00 Euros and are payable in three installments as follows:
| Payment | University Fees | Deadlines |
| Deposit | €2000 | 8 days of admission notification |
| 1st installment | €8500 | September 30, 2025 |
| 2nd installment | €6000 | March 31, 2026 |
The university fees include the following:
- all academic activities, including conferences, tastings, and seminars
- study material (in digital format)
- all study trip expenses as programmed, including travel, food and lodging
- participation in all UNISG and Slow Food events as included in the Master program
- private insurance policy covering urgent healthcare for non-European students
- access to Career Office services (food sector job placement)
- enrollment certificates, receipts of payment, official transcripts and international legalization of diploma for non-Italian students, including mailing fees.
Admitted candidates who pay the deposit within 8 days following the online publication of the early admission rankings on March 25, 2025 are entitled to a 10% early bird discount, equal to €1650, to be applied to the 2nd installment of university fees.
The candidate who at the date of publication of the March 24, 2025 early admission results decides to apply for a UNISG scholarship will no longer be eligible for the early bird discount.
Scholarship applicants must therefore complete and submit their applications ASAP, and in any case prior to the general application deadline, so that their eligibility can be determined. More information regarding the scholarship request process can be found on the Scholarships & Financial Aid page of the Master.
All UNISG students who have graduated or are in the process of successfully graduating from either the Three-Year Undergraduate, 2-Year Graduate or on of the Master programs at UNISG, and who then go on to enroll in a second program at UNISG, are eligible to receive a discount applied to the second installment of the university fees for the second program.

UNISG will issue a certificate of enrollment and, on request, a payment receipt. No invoice will be issued as the Master is considered a part of the University’s institutional activities and not as a commercial service.
In the event that a student chooses to withdraw from the Master after having accepted entry into the program, the student will be eligible for a partial reimbursement of the university fees as indicated in the schedule outlined below:
| Deadline to Withdraw | % of deposit to be reimbursed | % of 1st installment to be reimbursed (if paid) | % of 2nd installment to be reimbursed (if paid) |
| 30 days prior to Master start date | 50% | 100% | 100% |
| 30 days following Master start date | 0% | 30% | 80% |
| 90 days following Master start date | 0% | 0% | 80% |
Students who fall behind in their payments will not be allowed to proceed with their studies (i.e., to take exams or participate in study trips).
