    Hi Gemma, I'm currently in the first year of a 3 year degree here in Turin, Italy.

    I don't know how it works with grants, I didn't qualify for one here, so I didn't look into being able to transfer it over here.

    The fees unfortunately don't get paid by the government. You can do a declaration called the ISEE, which looks at how much your family earns, how many kids your family is supporting, how much property you own. On the basis of this, you can get a reduction in the fees, like all other Italian students. Scholarships are a possibility...but a slim one, competition is high, and the language barrier puts you at a disadvantage.

    Have any other questions, feel free to drop me a pm, I've gone through all the bureaucracy and red tape so I know what the process is like.
