UniCamillus Medicine and Surgery 2025: What’s New and How to Prepare

Every year, UniCamillus updates the rules and admission process for its Medicine and Surgery degree in English, and understanding these changes is essential for anyone preparing for the test.
In 2025, the overall structure of the exam remained the same, but there are important updates in the calendar, available seats, and registration procedures.
In this guide, we’ll go through all the differences between 2024 and 2025, how the test is structured, what the new official call includes, and how students should prepare to face it effectively.

All information comes from the official UniCamillus 2025 admission calls, available on the university’s website for both EU and Non-EU candidates. These include the EU call (December 2024), the EU call (July 2025), and the Non-EU call (October 2025), all published on the Admission Calls page of UniCamillus’ official website.

All the Official Updates for 2025

For the 2025/2026 academic year, UniCamillus introduced a more structured admission process with multiple sessions throughout the year.
The university first published a call in December 2024 with 425 seats for EU and equivalent candidates, followed by a second one in July 2025 offering 209 remaining seats.

The EU admission test took place online on 25 September 2025, and the results were released on 30 September 2025.
For Non-EU candidates, the selection process remained in two stages: a written Internet Reasoning Test (IRT-3) and an oral interview focusing on general knowledge and scientific subjects. These tests were held between 21 October and 5 November 2025.

The maximum score is still 90 points for EU candidates and 120 points for Non-EU applicants, but the main differences compared to 2024 are the earlier schedule and the larger number of available seats.

Differences Between 2024 and 2025

In 2024, the university offered 210 seats for EU candidates, with the test held on 27 September 2024 and results published in early October.
In 2025, the first call in December 2024 opened with 425 total seats, followed by another one in July 2025 for 209 leftover positions.

For Non-EU applicants, the total number of seats decreased from 137 in 2024 to 48 in 2025, as several admission rounds had already been held earlier in the year.
The exam structure and content, however, remain unchanged: a written test in English using a proctored online platform, followed by an oral interview.

In short, 2025 brought a more flexible and earlier schedule, while keeping the same exam format, scoring, and requirements.

Structure, Scoring, Registration, and Requirements

For EU and equivalent candidates, the test format in 2025 remained consistent with previous years.
It is a multiple-choice exam in English, taken online under live supervision. The test lasts 60 minutes and includes 60 questions divided as follows:

• 15 questions on logic and reading comprehension
• 35 questions in the scientific area: 10 in biology, 10 in chemistry, 10 in physics, and 5 in mathematics
• 10 questions on UniCamillus’ humanitarian and global health mission

Each correct answer is worth 1.5 points, each wrong answer deducts 0.25 points, and unanswered questions receive 0 points, for a total of 90 possible points.

The EU test was held on 25 September 2025, and results were released on 30 September 2025. Registration was open until 22 September 2025 at 1:00 PM, with an application fee of €180.

The enrolment period ran from 1 to 6 October 2025, followed by additional rounds for any remaining seats. The first two instalments of tuition were €2,000 and €6,000, with two further instalments of €6,500 each due by 30 November 2025 and 28 February 2026.

Technically, the exam continued to be managed by Selexi, with remote supervision using Google Chrome, the ProctorExam extension, and a smartphone camera positioned behind the candidate. No earphones, papers, or external people were allowed during the exam.

The entry requirements also remain the same: a secondary school diploma or a foreign qualification obtained after at least 12 years of education.
Students from systems with fewer years must provide proof of additional university studies.
For international qualifications, UniCamillus follows the official ministerial guidelines published on Universitaly and accepts certification from CIMEA for comparability.

Students who score less than 6 correct answers out of 10 in biology, chemistry, or physics are assigned Additional Learning Requirements (OFA) to complete during their first year.
All newly admitted students must also provide health certificates, including a Mantoux test for tuberculosis and a Hepatitis B vaccination, before starting clinical activities.

How These Changes Affect Preparation

Although the structure of the test has not changed, the earlier and multiple rounds require candidates to be ready over a longer period, keeping their preparation consistent rather than focusing only in summer.

The test is intense — 60 questions in 60 minutes — so it’s crucial to train with timed simulations, practising both knowledge and speed.
Since wrong answers still penalize the score, it’s essential to learn how to skip difficult questions strategically instead of guessing.

Students should prioritize logical reasoning and reading comprehension, along with a solid review of all scientific subjects.
The humanitarian mission section should not be underestimated: it can make the difference between candidates with similar scores, testing awareness of global health and humanitarian contexts.

The most effective way to prepare is through TestBuddy, the Italian study platform designed to make university test prep smart and anxiety-free.
With TestBuddy, students can take realistic simulations, practise by subject, and get AI-based progress tracking to understand their weak points and improve through personalized plans.
It’s an all-in-one tool that turns studying into a clear, guided path — helping candidates reach the test day confident and well-prepared.
