UniCamillus Medicine Admission Test 2026 Guide

Anyone preparing for the UniCamillus Medicine and Surgery admission test taught in English needs clear answers to very practical questions: what to study, how the test is structured, how many questions there are, how scoring works, and which topics are actually required.
In this article we walk through those questions one by one, answering them as we go, so the reading stays smooth and understandable from the very first paragraph.

Everything explained here strictly follows what is established in the official admission call and institutional documents issued by the university, which we reference at the beginning and summarize again at the end. The goal is to act as a bridge between what students need to do every day while studying and what the exam formally requires.

The information is drawn from the UniCamillus Medicine and Surgery 2026 admission call for EU and equivalent candidates, the UniCamillus Medicine and Surgery 2026 admission call for non-EU candidates residing abroad, and the UniCamillus Medicine and Surgery 2025 admission call, which is used as the official syllabus reference because no updated analytical syllabus has been published for 2026.

What the UniCamillus Medicine 2026 test is

The admission test for the single-cycle Master’s degree in Medicine and Surgery taught in English at UniCamillus is a selective exam organized directly by the university.
It is not a national ministerial test, but it follows formal and clearly defined rules, with a precise structure and numerical evaluation system.

For EU and equivalent candidates, admission is based on one written multiple-choice test, taken online.
For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the process includes a written reasoning test followed by an oral interview in English.

Understanding this distinction is essential, because it directly affects both what is assessed and how preparation should be approached.

What you actually need to study

For 2026, the official decree establishes that the test for EU and equivalent candidates primarily assesses basic scientific preparation.
The subjects required are Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, supported by a Humanities and humanitarian mission section aligned with the university’s values.

This means preparation must focus on structured scientific knowledge, comparable to upper secondary school programs, combined with the ability to apply that knowledge quickly and accurately.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the written test does not directly assess subject knowledge. Instead, it focuses on verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, and abstract reasoning.
Scientific knowledge is assessed later during the oral interview, together with general culture.

This difference highlights how crucial it is to distinguish between studying content and training for the test format.
This is exactly where tools like TestBuddy, with topic-based simulations and performance tracking, help identify whether study time is being spent effectively or just passively reviewing theory.

Number of questions and distribution

For the 2026 EU and equivalent candidates test, the exam consists of 60 multiple-choice questions, all in English.

The distribution is clearly defined:

There are 18 Biology questions,
18 Chemistry questions,
18 Physics questions,
and 6 questions on Humanities and humanitarian mission topics.

This means that 90 percent of the test is scientific, and each core subject carries exactly the same weight.
Neglecting even one subject results in a substantial loss of potential points.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the written test consists of 51 total questions, divided into 3 sections of 17 questions each, covering verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning.
This is followed by the oral interview, which contributes significantly to the final score.

Test duration, structure, and rules

The 2026 test for EU and equivalent candidates lasts 60 minutes.
It is conducted online, with remote proctoring and live video monitoring.

The rules are strict and directly affect how calmly the exam can be taken.
The use of smartphones, earphones, smartwatches, calculators, books, notes, or external web pages is prohibited.
No other people may be present in the room, and leaving the workstation is not allowed.

Only two blank sheets of paper and one pen are permitted, after verification during the identification phase.

The test date is 19 March 2026, with registration closing at 1:00 PM on 13 March 2026, and results published by 25 March 2026.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the written test takes place between 9 March 2026 and 13 March 2026, while the oral interview is scheduled between 16 March 2026 and 27 March 2026, with results published by 1 April 2026.
The official document does not specify the exact duration in minutes for the written test.

Practicing under realistic conditions, with time limits and minimal distractions, makes a real difference. That is why TestBuddy simulations are designed to mirror exam pressure without turning preparation into a source of stress.

Subjects and weight of each section

In the 2026 EU and equivalent candidates test, each correct answer is worth 1.5 points, leading to a maximum total score of 90 points.

In terms of weight:

Biology can contribute up to 27 points,
Chemistry up to 27 points,
Physics up to 27 points,
Humanities up to 9 points.

The minimum eligibility threshold is 10 percent of the maximum score, equal to 9 points, but admission depends on ranking rather than just passing the threshold.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the written test is worth up to 51 points, and the oral interview up to 69 points, for a maximum total of 120 points.

Official syllabus reference from 2025

For 2026, no official detailed syllabus has been published.
As a result, the 2025 syllabus remains the formal reference.

In Biology, required topics include the chemistry of living organisms, organic molecules, enzymes, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, viruses, cell membranes and transport, the cell cycle, bioenergetics, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, classical and molecular genetics, deoxyribonucleic acid, gene regulation, human genetics, evolution, and human anatomy and physiology.

In Chemistry, the syllabus covers the structure of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, solutions, equilibria, kinetics, redox reactions, acids and bases, pH, buffer solutions, and the fundamentals of organic chemistry.

In Physics, required topics include measurement and units, kinematics, dynamics, work and energy, fluid mechanics, thermology, electrostatics, electrodynamics, basic circuit laws, and electromagnetic induction.

The Humanities and humanitarian mission section focuses on global health issues, healthcare workforce shortages, fragile contexts, humanitarian organizations, and general cultural awareness.

Covering the entire syllabus is necessary, but understanding where mistakes actually occur is what truly improves results. This is where TestBuddy’s artificial intelligence, which analyzes performance and highlights weak points, helps prevent wasted study time.

Question format

In the 2026 EU and equivalent candidates test, all questions are multiple choice, with 5 options and one correct answer.
There are no open-ended questions or extended calculations.

There is no standalone logic or mathematics section, as existed in the 2025 reference, but reasoning skills remain essential for solving scientific questions.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the written test explicitly focuses on verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning, while the oral interview assesses English proficiency and basic scientific knowledge.

Scoring criteria and penalties

In the 2026 EU and equivalent candidates test, the official scoring system assigns:

1.5 points for each correct answer,
minus 0.25 points for each incorrect answer,
0 points for unanswered questions.

This makes answer management strategic, since incorrect answers carry a penalty that must be considered during practice and simulations.

For non-EU candidates residing abroad, the decree does not specify penalties for incorrect answers in the written test. The final score is calculated as the sum of the written test and oral interview, with tie-breaking rules defined in the official documentation.

Training with systems that reflect real penalties, thresholds, and score distributions helps build a more controlled and less impulsive approach to the exam. This is one of the reasons TestBuddy was created as a tool for monitoring progress, not just studying.
