UER Admission Test 2027: Complete Admission Test Guide

Algebra, geometry, functions and probability all sit here: UER examines no separate Mathematics subject.

• Formal logic: statements, truth and falsity, negation, equivalent statements, quantifiers, connectors, necessary vs. sufficient conditions, syllogisms, Venn diagrams, inclusion and exclusion
• Verbal reasoning: identifying conclusions and premises, finding assumptions, strengthening and weakening arguments, spotting contradictions, valid deduction vs. unsupported claims, analogies, classification, odd-one-out, verbal sequences

• Algebra and equations: algebraic expressions, first- and second-degree equations and inequalities, systems of equations and inequalities, interpreting solution sets and constraints in word problems
• Geometry and spatial reasoning: lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, coordinate geometry, Pythagoras, similar triangles, perimeter, area and volume, trigonometric ratios in right triangles, rotations, reflections, translations, symmetry, solid figures
• Functions, graphs and data: reading line graphs, bar charts, pie charts, histograms and tables, functions and inverse functions, standard graph families at basic level, frequency, mean, median and mode
• Probability and combinatorics: counting finite sets, tree diagrams and simple arrangements, union of disjoint events, intersection of independent events, conditional probability in simple cases, coin, dice and urn problems

Every item is answered from a short accompanying passage, the only section of the paper tested in English.

• Main idea and purpose: the central idea of a passage, the author's purpose, choosing the best title or summary, distinguishing the main claim from supporting material
• Detail and scanning: specific-detail questions, locating the sentence that proves an answer, rejecting options that restate the wrong part of the text
• Inference and implication: what follows from the text rather than from prior knowledge, supported inference vs. answers that are true in general but not stated or implied, hypotheses the author would accept
• Vocabulary and reference: vocabulary in context, paraphrase recognition, academic verbs such as suggest, imply, claim, assess, undermine and establish, reference words such as this, that, such, them, former and latter
• Structure and tone: the author's tone, logical connectors such as however, therefore, although, whereas and moreover, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, problem and solution, distinguishing facts, hypotheses, opinions and examples

OFA-sensitive: additional learning obligations may be assigned if correct answers here fall below 50% of its 12 questions.

• Chemistry of living organisms: water polarity and hydrogen bonds, mono-, di- and polysaccharides, lipids, amino acids and protein structure, enzymes, nucleotides, DNA and RNA, ATP
• Cell organisation: prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells, animal vs. plant cells, membrane structure and transport, the major organelles, endosymbiotic theory at conceptual level

• Biodiversity, evolution and ecology: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya, viruses at basic level, natural selection and adaptation, speciation, populations, communities and ecosystems, food chains and species interactions

OFA-sensitive on the same 50%-of-12 rule. The most calculation-heavy of the three sciences.

• Macroscopic properties of matter: states of matter, the kinetic model and phase changes, mixtures and separation techniques, the laws of Lavoisier, Proust, Dalton and Gay-Lussac, the ideal gas laws
• Microscopic properties and composition: the atomic model, elements, compounds, molecules, ions and chemical formulas, periodic properties, quantum numbers and electron configuration

It's the admission test Università Europea di Roma uses to select candidates for its Italian-taught Medicine and Surgery programme: 60 scored multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, sat remotely from home under proctoring.

No. The IMAT is the national test used by Italian public universities and some private ones; UER sets and administers its own test under its own Rector's Decree, with a different structure, option count and scoring.

Online, from home, remotely proctored: you'll need a working device plus a second device for proctoring, a camera and a stable connection.

+1 point for a correct answer, −0.25 for an incorrect one, and 0 for a blank, across 60 questions with five answer options each. There is no confirmed minimum eligible score: Article 8 of the governing decree gives only the point formula and a ranking-to-places-available rule.

OFA (Obbligo Formativo Aggiuntivo, an additional learning requirement) is triggered separately for Biology, Chemistry or Physics if you score below 50% correct in that specific subject, even if your overall result is strong. Balanced preparation across all three sciences, not just your best one, is what avoids it.

No. UER's Medicine and Surgery programme is taught in Italian, and the admission test is mostly in Italian too. The one exception is the English Reading Comprehension section, which is the only part of the paper actually tested in English.

UER opened a first round under D.R. 44/26 and a second under D.R. 226/26 (amended twice), with final results published via D.R. 276/26 on 14 September 2026. The second round, on 10 September 2026, was for the first year's 46 remaining places. Its call (D.R. 226/26, Art. 3) admitted any Italian or EU citizen, or non-EU citizen legally resident in Italy, with a qualifying school diploma, and excluded no one for having sat the first round; in 2026/27 every first-round candidate had already been offered a place.

For 2026/27 the first call (D.R. 44/26) offered 120 places and 284 candidates were ranked. 104 places were filled; D.M. 1004/2026 then set 150 places for the year, so the second round offered 46 and admitted all 27 of its candidates. UER publishes no acceptance rate. In 2025/26 the call offered 100 places, and a second call (D.R. 269/25) 18 more.

Within the EU, yes: automatically, as a standard Italian medical degree (LM-41). Outside the EU recognition isn't automatic as a rule. For the UK, the Medical Act 1983 (sections 21B and 21C, as in force on 12 October 2026) spares holders of an Italian medical degree the knowledge test other international graduates take through PLAB/UKMLA, but the UK's list pairs the laurea with the Diploma di abilitazione all'esercizio della medicina e chirurgia, which Italy stopped issuing in March 2020, when the practical training moved inside the degree. The GMC's Italy page therefore offers graduates since then provisional registration on the laurea, for a UK Foundation Year 1 post, and asks for evidence of supervised practice, such as a 12-month internship, for full registration. Evidence of English is still required, and the rule is UK policy that can change. US-bound graduates need ECFMG certification via USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, the same requirement every international medical graduate faces.

Yes. The IvyTest simulator runs UER-format practice (60 questions, five options, the real scoring rule) in timed, tutor and review modes, with a free diagnostic available without payment.

No. UER's admissions pages publish no past papers, no sample test and no official simulation. The convocation notice for the 10 September 2026 test says the email sent to candidates links a video tutorial and a demo version of the exam application, to get used to the platform. After the test, the online Review lets each candidate see their own questions, how their answers were marked and their score (D.R. 44/26, Art. 10).

Not announced yet: on 11 October 2026 UER's Medicine admissions page still listed the 2026/27 calls and no 2027/28 call. So far the call has come out weeks before the test: D.R. 44/26 was signed on 5 February 2026 for a test on 6 March 2026, and the 2025/26 call opened registration on 13 January 2025 for a test on 20 February 2025. Both cycles then ran a second round in September for the places left.

The graduatoria lists every candidate by anonymous code, with the total and section scores, the OFA flags and the outcome: admitted, admitted with reservation or idoneo. In March 2026, 284 candidates were ranked for 120 places; the 120th scored 45.00 of 60 and positions 121 to 141 were admitted with reservation. Places that were not taken passed down the list until the eighth scorrimento reached the 284th, at -2.50. The September 2026 list admitted all 27 candidates, from 58.75 to 15.25.

For 2026/27, €18,250 a year: €4,250 when you accept your place, then four instalments of €3,500 (D.R. 44/26, Art. 17). On top come €16 of stamp duty and the DiscoLazio regional tax, €140 in the second-round call (D.R. 226/26). Sitting the test costs €200, non-refundable. The 2027/28 fees are not published yet.

Under D.R. 44/26 (Art. 3): Italian and EU citizens wherever they live, and non-EU citizens legally resident in Italy, with an Italian upper-secondary diploma or a foreign school-leaving qualification after at least 12 years of schooling (10 or 11 with the extra certificates MUR requires). Students in their final school year can sit it with reservation. Anyone who already holds a degree in Medicine (LM-41) cannot.

UER's address, on its pages and calls, is Via degli Aldobrandeschi 190, 00163 Rome. The Medicine course page lists clinical training in GVM Care & Research hospitals from the first year and CESMAT, UER's advanced medical simulation centre; the 2025/26 call announcement names Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy in Rome, a GVM hospital, as the clinical training centre.

Six years and 360 CFU. In the 2026/27 study plan the first year (56 CFU) has Medical Physics, Biology, and Chemistry and Introductory Biochemistry (6 CFU each), Human and Clinical Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Scientific English and training placements from year one; the final thesis is worth 12 CFU. Lessons last 45 minutes, and some exams have prerequisites: Human Physiology needs Biology and Genetics first.

Only through the admission test, on what UER publishes: IvyTest found no call for transfers into later years. The 2026/27 call says students from other degree courses sit the same test; once admitted, those enrolled elsewhere can transfer with UER's clearance, withdraw, or ask for dual enrolment. UER's notice titled 'places available with transfer' was a 2025/26 second call (D.R. 269/25) for 18 first-year places. Credits from another university can be recognised (course regulations, Art. 28).

UER publishes no survey of its Medicine students: the course took its first students in 2024/25 and has no graduates yet. Its published figures are university-wide: from the AlmaLaurea 2026 report it cites 93.4% satisfied with their university experience, 91% rating relations with teachers very positively and 97% employed five years after a master's degree. The Medicine page quotes one student on hands-on experience from the first year.

No. UER's free admission test, next held on 15 October 2026, is for Economics, Psychology, Tourism and Law: 40 questions in 40 minutes, after a 10-minute questionnaire. Its orientation tests and interviews (UER Orienta), run by orientation psychologists, help you choose a course. Primary Education (Scienze della Formazione Primaria) has its own call. Medicine has its own paid test under its own Rector's Decree, the one on this page.
