Study Medicine at Marche Polytechnic University

Overview

Marche Polytechnic University (UNIVPM) offers a new single-cycle, 6-year Medicine and Surgery degree taught in English, admitted via the national IMAT exam, in the degree class LM-41. Branded "MedTech" (Medicine and Technology), the programme integrates the standard medical curriculum with biomedical-engineering content: the first three years combine preclinical and engineering coursework and the final three years focus on clinical training. Students earn additional credits beyond the standard 360 required for Medicine, which can support a second (biomedical engineering) qualification. Teaching takes place in Ancona, with the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery located at Torrette di Ancona.

Tuition & fees

Italian public-university fees are income-linked (ISEE) for EU/resident students, with fixed bands for international applicants whose income is abroad.

Marche Polytechnic University (UNIVPM) charges an income-linked (ISEE) student contribution for its single-cycle Medicine and Surgery degree, per the official 2025/2026 tuition-fee regulation. The annual all-inclusive fee is calculated as CO = [B + (A−C)·D] × 1.59 (the Medicine & Surgery course coefficient), plus a fixed €156 (€140 regional tax + €16 stamp duty). This works out to roughly €538/year at the lowest ISEE band (≤ €13,000) up to about €3,141/year at the top band or when no ISEE is submitted; non-EU students with income abroad who do not file an ISEE parificato pay the maximum ~€3,141, while first-year students from non-OECD developing countries pay only €156.
