Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (UCSC) International Scholarship

The Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, UCSC) is the largest private university in Italy and one of the largest Catholic universities in the world, with campuses in Milan, Rome, Piacenza, Brescia, and Cremona and particular strength in economics, business, banking and finance, international relations, medicine, and psychology. For international students it runs merit-based tuition-reduction scholarships (the UCSC International Scholarship) that lower annual tuition for admitted applicants to its English-taught Bachelor's and Master's programmes, decided on academic record at admission. UCSC is a strong choice for Sri Lankan applicants targeting economics, finance, or international-relations degrees taught in English in Milan or Rome, with structured career services and a large international office. This is a tuition-reduction scheme rather than a full scholarship — living costs in Milan/Rome, flights, and the deposit remain your responsibility. Its Catholic identity shapes the institution but admission is open to students of all backgrounds.
