The participation of foreign and international students in the Italian tertiary education shows a strong positive trend in the last decades, and has recently drawn attention in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine disparities in timing of graduation of a cohort of full time students which have been enrolled at Sapienza University in the a.y. 2012/2013 and graduated within twice the theoretical duration of the programme of study, considering both their citizenship and country of prior education. Although migrant background is not necessarily indicative of a disadvantage, the analysis suggests the existence of a link between migrant background and longer time to complete the programme of study, mostly in Bachelor’s programmes

Abstract
The participation of foreign and international students in the Italian tertiary education shows a strong positive trend in the last decades, and has recently drawn attention in the literature. The aim of this study is to examine disparities in timing of graduation of a cohort of full time students which have been enrolled at Sapienza University in the a.y. 2012/2013 and graduated within twice the theoretical duration of the programme of study, considering both their citizenship and country of prior education. Although migrant background is not necessarily indicative of a disadvantage, the analysis suggests the existence of a link between migrant background and longer time to complete the programme of study, mostly in Bachelor’s programmes
