The LUM
Complete Guide

No. LUM's Medicine and Surgery programme is taught in Italian, and the admission test is set in Italian too. This guide and its simulator questions are written in Italian too, so you prepare in the language of the test; confirm the current language requirement directly with LUM before applying.

Remotely, from home, under proctoring, not at the Casamassima campus. It's 60 five-option questions in two sealed sections: 36 Logical Reasoning questions in 60 minutes, then 24 Biology, Chemistry and Physics questions in 40 minutes, and a closed section can't be reopened. A correct answer scores +1.5, a wrong one −0.2 and a blank 0, out of 90, and you need at least 20 points to be eligible.

It's built on LUM's most recent call, for the 2026/27 cycle (Bando D.P. 345/25). 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. LUM-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator.

LUM's Casamassima campus offered 290 seats for 2026/27: 140 on the MED_FM pathway and 150 on MED_MD, subject to change by the Ministry. Italy's Ministry of University decree for the 2025/2026 cycle listed LUM's quota for non-EU applicants abroad as still 'in accreditation'. If you're applying from outside the EU and not already resident in Italy, confirm your specific route with LUM directly rather than assuming the standard non-EU pathway applies.

As a standard Italian medical degree (LM-41), it's designed to qualify for automatic EU/EEA recognition on the same basis as any other accredited Italian programme, though given the accreditation note above, non-EU applicants should confirm LUM's current status directly. The old separate Esame di Stato licensing exam no longer exists nationally; a practical assessment built into the final year now confers the right to register and practice instead.
