The admission route

Admission uses the university’s own English-language entrance examination and separate EU/equivalent and non-EU-resident-abroad rankings. A non-Italian school qualification follows the international application procedure.

The published 2027/28 application deadline is 17 February 2027 and the online test is scheduled for 17 March 2027. The university may add an 18 March session. A contradictory closed-status sentence remains on one international-admissions page; check the application portal before paying.

Published deadline: 17 Feb 2027

European qualification route

The GMC assesses the exact European award and required accompanying evidence under its country-specific rules. Confirm the diploma, internship and registration requirements for your graduation year. Admission, professional registration, NHS training allocation and permission to work are separate decisions.

Exact award
Laurea Magistrale in Medicina e Chirurgia (single-cycle Medicine and Surgery degree)
Entry level
School-leaver entry
Course and training
Six years / 360 ECTS; confirm the qualifying practical training and documents needed for registration separately.
Campus / placements
Rome campus; this record is not the separately advertised Bolzano programme.
Clinical access
The 2026/27 curriculum includes Italian Language I. Ask the faculty to confirm the Italian level and completion deadline required for patient-facing clinical activity.

Check the rules for your expected graduation year. Recognition of a qualification, registration, a training place and permission to work are separate decisions.

What to prepare

  • Passport and the application form for your nationality route.
  • Your original school-leaving qualifications, subject grades and transcripts; add degree and prerequisite-course evidence for graduate or college-entry routes. Confirm predicted-grade rules if results are pending.
  • Evidence of English or the university’s written exemption.
  • Any required motivation statement, references, medical form and passport photograph.
  • Certified copies, translations, recognition and apostille only in the format requested by this university.

This is a preparation checklist. The university’s current country-specific list determines which items you must submit.

What the degree could cost

The current official Rome fee page quotes €18,150 annually for all nationalities, but does not label that figure with an academic year. No 2027/28 quotation is assumed here. Obtain the intake-specific tuition and refund terms; the Rome programme is excluded from the UCSC International Scholarship.

  • Check deposit deadlines, refund terms and what happens if a visa is refused.
  • Ask which clinical activities require the local language, and how students reach the required level.
  • Ask the UK regulator about the exact award, teaching location and expected graduation year.
