Enrollment to University and Study Visa – Medicine

Starting from the Academic Year 2025/2026, enrollment of non-EU students residing abroad in the single cycle degree courses in Medicine and Surgery (LM-41), the Single-Cycle degree in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics (LM-46) and the single cycle degree in Veterinary Medicine in Italian is free and no longer requires the usual entrance exam, replaced by attendance of the so-called “filter semester”. Ministerial Decree 431 of 20 June 2025 set the period 23 June – 25 July 2025 for submitting applications for admission.

Students must complete the pre-enrollment request on the Universitaly portal by 25 July 2025. Such step is essential for obtaining a study visa for university enrollment.

In derogation of the ban on simultaneous enrollment in more than one degree course, interested students must also enroll in a “similar” course at the same time, to be attended in the event that they do not enter the national merit ranking drawn up after the exams scheduled for the filter semester.

Students who have received confirmation of the approval of their pre-enrollment request by the University will be contacted to set an appointment for the visa request in the period July 26 – August 10.

This procedure applies exclusively to courses of study offered – in Italian – by public universities.
