What this university is, in practice
Siena is the only Italian program on this site that publishes a confirmed tuition range rather than a fixed charge and an unknown: €556 to €2,626 for 2026-2027, depending on financial and country classification. It is dentistry, it runs six years where most of Europe runs five, and the city it is taught in is one of the more expensive on this list.
An actual range, actually confirmed
The official published annual tuition is €556 to €2,626 for 2026-2027, varying with financial and country classification. That is a confirmed figure for the current cycle, which puts Siena in a small group — six of Italy's twenty-two English-taught medicine programs are confirmed, and this is one of only two Italian dentistry programs here.
More usefully, it is the only Italian program in this catalog that resolves the income-assessment problem into publishable numbers. Bologna is confirmed but publishes no bands. Milan publishes bands but for country groups. Padua publishes a ceiling. Siena publishes both ends, in one line, for the year you would actually enrol.
Because the figure is a range rather than a single amount, this site does not place Siena in its tuition rankings — a range cannot be ordered against fixed fees without picking an end and pretending it is the price. For comparison rather than ranking: the 54 European dentistry programs with a single confirmed fee run from €6,500 upward with a median of €16,496, so even the top of Siena's range sits well beneath the cheapest of them.
Six years, where most run five
Siena's dentistry degree runs six years. Of the 59 European dentistry programs in this catalog, 40 run five years and only 16 run six — mostly in Romania and Serbia, plus Sapienza in Italy, Zagreb, Varna and Skopje.
That extra year is the real cost here, and it is not a tuition cost. A sixth year is a year of living expenses and a year of foregone earnings, which at Siena's living costs is worth considerably more than the entire tuition range.
The award is a Laurea Magistrale dentist qualification from the School of Dentistry, on the route recorded as Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics in English. Admission is by the national admission test and ranking, with Universitaly pre-enrolment for applicable non-EU applicants — the dentistry equivalent of the route Italy's public medicine programs use.
Where the money actually goes
On this site's cost presets, Siena runs about €430 a month for housing and €670 for other living costs — roughly €11,000 a year on the ten-month study-year basis used here, or €66,000 across six years. That makes it the thirteenth most expensive of the fifteen Italian locations covered, ahead of only Milan and Pieve Emanuele. The preset carries a Medium source-confidence rating, so verify local housing rather than budgeting to the euro from it.
Set the two figures side by side and the Italian pattern is at its starkest. At the top of the published range, tuition is €2,626 against about €11,000 of living costs — under a quarter of what living there costs for the same year. Across six years, tuition runs somewhere between €3,336 and €15,756; living runs about €66,000.
So the honest planning advice for Siena is the same as for every Italian public, only more so: work out your classification band, then stop worrying about tuition and start costing the city. Universitaly pre-enrolment, a translated, legalised and recognised foreign credential, and English competence are the other requirements.
Who this suits
Dentistry applicants who want a confirmed, published fee range instead of an open-ended assessment, who can absorb a sixth year and Siena's living costs, and who will establish their financial and country classification before assuming the bottom of the range applies.
Return-pathway evidence
This is a dentistry program, so the World Directory of Medical Schools listing and ECFMG Sponsor Note evidence this site carries for medicine does not apply to it, and the catalog holds no school-level regulatory record here. Dentists intending to practice in the United States sit the INBDE and go through a credential evaluation, and Canadian and US dental routes assess foreign-trained applicants through their own national bodies. Confirm current requirements directly with the relevant regulator before enrolling — nothing on this page establishes eligibility for examination, registration, or licensure.
