Campus Bio-Medico MedTech: programme, test, fees and ranking

Medicine and Surgery 'MedTech' is a single-cycle Master's degree in class LM-41, six years and 360 credits over 12 semesters, taught entirely in English. It is one degree: it qualifies you as a doctor and gives full access to residency schools, exactly like UCBM's other English-taught Medicine and Surgery degree.

What changes is the scientific base. UCBM's Italian course page describes doctors trained in the clinical path and also in engineering (mathematics, chemistry, physics, data analysis and computing) and methods (modelling, problem solving, optimisation), with technical fields such as artificial intelligence, big data, biosignals, tissue engineering, biomaterials and bioprinting, nanotechnologies, electronics, surgical robotics and virtual reality. Some classes are shared with Engineering students.

A second degree is possible but optional: an additional path of 30 credits taught within UCBM's degree in Biomedical Engineering, after which, UCBM's English page says, students are eligible to receive a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering. The course is directed by Professor Giovanni Di Pino.

The first two years build the science and engineering base alongside anatomy, physiology and biochemistry; clinical subjects start in the third year, each paired with the technology used in it.

Both are English-taught LM-41 degrees at UCBM with the same test, the same fees and the same qualification. The difference is in the plan and the places:

MedTech has no test of its own. The same written test admits to both English-taught degrees: 60 multiple-choice questions with five options, 20 Biology, 20 Chemistry and 20 Physics, in 100 minutes, entirely in English and without a calculator. A correct answer scores 1, a wrong one −0.2 and a blank 0, out of 60, and you need at least 12 to be ranked.

For 2026/27, registration opened on 29 October 2025 and closed at 13:00 on 6 February 2026, at €170 per course, and the test was held in Rome on 19 February 2026. English at B2 had to be certified by one of the certificates the call lists. Non-EU citizens resident abroad sat a separate online test with remote monitoring on 6 February 2026. UCBM had not published the 2027/28 call by 15 October 2026; this page will be updated when it does.

MedTech is ranked on its own list. In 2026/27 the provisional ranking (D.R. 63/2026) had 167 rows, and the 68th and last winner scored 42.8/60. The definitive ranking (D.R. 269/2026) had 87 rows, averaging 35.49/60. Places left free were then offered down that list in notices normally published on Tuesdays and Fridays; the 18th, on 3–4 September 2026, reached position 87 at 14.4/60, and UCBM declared the scrolling closed on 4 September.

So in 2026/27 every eligible candidate on MedTech's definitive list was offered a place. For the places still free, UCBM ran a further test in Rome on 16 October 2026, with its ranking due by 20 October. One year's ranking does not predict the next: it depends on how many people register for MedTech.

MedTech costs the same as UCBM's English-taught Medicine and Surgery: €19,000 for the first year in 2026/27, plus the €140 Lazio regional tax, in three instalments. The Italian-taught Medicina e Chirurgia costs €15,500.

Times Higher Education places Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome in the 451–500 band of its World University Rankings 2027. In THE's 2026 subject tables it is in the 301–400 band for Medical and Health and 801–1000 for Engineering. Only rankings read on their publisher's own site are shown.

MedTech suits a candidate who wants to become a doctor and expects to work with technology, data or research: the first years are heavier in mathematics, physics and computing than Medicine and Surgery's, and there is a route to a Biomedical Engineering degree for those who want it. Since the test is the same, registering for both degrees costs only a second fee and gives you two rankings.
