The Campus Bio-Medico
Complete Guide

For the 2026/27 cycle the test was sat in person in Rome, at the Nuova Fiera di Roma, on 19 February 2026. Registration closed on 6 February 2026 for EU and equivalent candidates and on 28 January 2026 for non-EU candidates resident abroad, which makes it one of the earliest in the Italian private medical school cycle. Non-EU candidates resident abroad have their own call and in 2026/27 sat the test online, under remote proctoring, on 6 February 2026. The 2027/28 dates hadn't been published as of this guide's last update.

60 five-option questions in 100 minutes, 20 each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, sat as one block. A correct answer scores +1, a wrong one −0.2 and a blank 0, and you need at least 12 of 60 to be eligible for a place (10 in the call for non-EU candidates resident abroad). No calculator or electronic device is allowed. Medicine and Surgery and MedTech share the same paper but register and rank separately.

It's built on CBM's most recent call, for the 2026/27 cycle (Rector's Decree No. 505, 28 October 2025). The 2027/28 call hadn't been published as of this guide's last update, so check it for any changes once it's out.

Yes. The simulator includes CBM-specific question formats.

84 EU/equivalent seats and 36 reserved for non-EU applicants abroad (2026/27 cycle figures). The separate MedTech programme has its own 68/12 split, so don't confuse the two. Campus Bio-Medico doesn't publish an official acceptance rate; one ranking aggregator's algorithmic estimate of 30% is explicitly its own model rather than a university figure, so treat it as indicative at most.

Within the EU, yes. It's a standard Italian medical degree (LM-41), automatically recognised across the EU/EEA. The old separate Esame di Stato licensing exam no longer exists for this degree; a practical assessment built into the final year now confers the right to register and practice instead. 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. US recognition goes through the standard international-graduate route (ECFMG/USMLE) rather than anything Campus Bio-Medico-specific.
