Step-by-Step Guide: What To Do Before Pre-Enrolment for MBBS in Italy

Many students dream of pursuing MBBS in Italy due to its internationally recognized medical education, affordable public universities, and courses taught in English. However, one of the most common mistakes students make is submitting the pre-enrolment application too early — before completing necessary steps like IMAT or admission confirmation.

This guide will help you understand what to do before submitting the pre-enrolment on Universitaly to avoid rejection or delays.


Step 1: Choose a University and Program

Before anything else, research and select Italian universities that offer Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) in English. These programs require the IMAT (International Medical Admission Test).

Top public universities offering MBBS in English include:

  • University of Pavia
  • University of Milan
  • Sapienza University of Rome
  • University of Bologna
  • University of Turin

Step 2: Create an Account on Universitaly

Visit www.universitaly.it and register your personal profile.

Important: Do not submit your pre-enrolment yet. Just create your profile. The pre-enrolment step will come after your IMAT result and university admission confirmation.


Step 3: Register for the IMAT Exam

IMAT is a mandatory entrance exam for international students seeking admission in English-taught medical programs in Italy.

During registration, you will:

  • Choose your test center
  • Rank your university preferences

Step 4: Sit for the IMAT Exam

On the day of the exam (usually in September), sit for the IMAT and wait for your:

  • IMAT Score
  • National Ranking
  • University Allocation

Your university placement depends on how high you rank and the preferences you selected.


Step 5: Check University Ranking and Acceptance

Once results are released, log in to Universitaly or the university admission portal to check your status.

If you’ve ranked high enough, you’ll be offered a seat at one of your selected universities.

Only proceed to the next steps after your spot is confirmed.


Step 6: Confirm Your Admission

Visit the portal of the university that accepted you. Example:

  • University of Pavia portal: https://studentionline.unipv.it

Follow these steps:

  • Complete the university’s online registration form
  • Upload requested documents
  • Pay the first tuition fee (if required)

This confirms your intention to enroll in the program.


Step 7: Prepare Required Documents

Now start preparing the necessary documents for pre-enrolment and visa. These typically include:

  • Valid Passport
  • Matriculation and Intermediate Certificates (or equivalent)
  • IMAT Result
  • Declaration of Value (DoV) or CIMEA Statement of Comparability
  • Passport-sized Photograph
  • Proof of First Tuition Fee Payment
  • Italian Tax Code (Codice Fiscale) – optional but useful

Step 8: Submit Pre-Enrolment on Universitaly

Now that you have confirmed your admission and gathered your documents, log back in to www.universitaly.it and submit your pre-enrolment.

  • Select your accepted university (e.g., University of Pavia)
  • Choose the correct program (e.g., Medicine and Surgery)
  • Upload your documents
  • Submit the application

Step 9: Wait for Validation

After submission, the university will review your application.

Once validated, you can download the pre-enrolment summary, which is a required document for your visa application.


Step 10: Apply for Student Visa

Use the validated pre-enrolment and your complete document set to apply for a Type D Study Visa at the Italian Embassy or Consulate in your home country.

Typical visa requirements include:

  • Pre-enrolment summary from Universitaly
  • University admission proof
  • Financial proof (bank statements or sponsor letter)
  • Accommodation proof in Italy
  • Travel insurance
  • Passport and photographs

Do not apply for a tourist visa. A Type D student visa is required for long-term study in Italy.


Final Note: Avoid the Most Common Mistake

Never submit your pre-enrolment before your IMAT result or official university confirmation.
Submitting too early may result in rejection or delays during your visa process. Always follow the correct order.
