The Call for Admission to the International MD program (single-cycle Master's Degree in Medicine and Surgery in English) for the academic year 2025-2026 is published in the boxes below.
Admission to the International MD Program is based on selection through the UniSR admission test, which is mandatory for all candidates wishing to access the Course. Other exams or scores cannot substitute the UniSR admission test as it is the only means of selection.
- Quotas for EU and NON EU candidates:
Every year there is a limited number of places for the Course: a quota for EU candidates and another one for non-EU candidates.
The admission test is organized accordingly for each quota and is regulated by a specific Call for Admission (‘Bando di concorso’).
Please read carefully the Call for admission published in the boxes below for detailed information about the admission procedure for EU and NON-EU candidates.
UK citizens NOT resident in Italy are considered "NON EU citizens resident abroad" unless future specific communications are made by the Ministry of University and Research or the Ministry of the Internal Affairs.
