A single national ranking will be drawn up for the contingent of Italian citizens, EU citizens and Non-EU citizens treated as such under article 26 of Law no. 189/2002. For Non-EU candidates living abroad, the ranking list is drawn up by the University at local level. 

Information about the Medicine and Surgery course (regulations, admission requirements, teaching plan, educational objectives, information and contacts, etc.) is available on the course website (https://corsi.unipr.it/en/cdlm-ms)

Starting from September 2 up to September 12, 2024, applicants shall register for the entry test using the procedure on the Universitaly portal (https://www.universitaly.it).

When enrolling, applicants are required to sign up on the Universitaly portal by providing their own e-mail address and to specify, in order of preference, the university venues for which they intend to apply and that they have one of the language certifications listed in Annex 3 of Ministerial Decree no. 1133/2024. 
These certifications, of B2 CEFR level (or higher), are a prerequisite for entry and must be produced at the time of matriculation. Certifications issued by institutions other than those listed in the aforementioned annex will not be accepted.

Applicants meeting the following alternative requirements are not required to present a certificate of proficiency in English:

• who can provide evidence, by properly legalized attestation, that they have attended, for at least one year, a high-school (or university) whose teaching was delivered entirely in English;
• who come from English-speaking countries;
• who have obtained a score higher than 37 on the entry test.

If the applicant intends to take the test at an Italian venue, the first option will automatically be the venue at which the test is to be taken. These options will be irrevocable by 3:00 p.m. (GMT+2) on September 12, 2024, the closing date for registration. 
This process is mandatory for the purposes of holding the test, under penalty of exclusion from it. In the event that applicants intend to take the test abroad, they must also indicate a foreign location among those indicated in Table A attached to Ministerial Decree no. 1133/2024.

Payment of the test fee must be made according to the terms posted on Universitaly when registration opens. Payment not paired with the online registration confirmation does not entitle the applicant to attend the test.

Applicants who do not enroll by the deadline of 3:00 p.m. Italian time on September 12 with the aforementioned procedure and do not make the payment of the fee will not be admitted to the entry test, regardless of the supporting reasons given. To be allowed to attend the test, applicants must show up with the payment receipt.

In any case, the non-EU citizen applicant who is not equated and has not submitted the pre-registration application to the Italian diplomatic representation will nevertheless be excluded from the test.
