Rankings and notices
From 18 May until 11:59 p.m. on 1 September 2026 , it is possible to register for the admission test by paying the participation fee ( €130.00). The payment - to be made by 1 September 2026 - constitutes the completion of the registration without which it is not possible to take the exam.
The admission tests are held remotely ( home-based mode) on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September 2026 at 2:30 pm.
When registering for the test, each candidate selects the session they wish to participate in, subject to availability of places.
When enrolling, it is possible to indicate up to 2 undergraduate degree programmes among those on offer of the Faculty of Medicine for the academic year 2026/27 (art. 1 of the call, table below) specifying the order of preference (first choice and, if applicable, second choice) with the exception of the courses active at the Claudiana teaching centre in Bolzano, for which it is necessary to consult the https://www.claudiana.bz.it/it website.
The chosen degree programmes and the order of preference can be changed by 1 September 2026 by using the "modify competition registration" function of your enrolment profile.
Preferences and the order of preference are binding in the preparation of the merit rankings, therefore a careful reading of art. 10 of the competition notice.
The final rankings of each degree programme will be drawn up taking into consideration as a matter of priority:
1) the choices and the order of preference expressed by each candidate (first and second choice);
2) the score obtained.
Therefore, each ranking will be composed first of all of the candidates who have indicated the degree course as "first choice" ordered on the basis of merit, and then of those who have indicated the course as "second choice" in turn ordered on the basis of merit.
The following criteria will be observed in the allocation of places:
- if the candidate is admitted to the course indicated as the first choice (priority 1), the second choice, if expressed, is automatically cancelled (and eliminated from the corresponding ranking);
- if the candidate is admitted to the programme-campus indicated as second choice (priority 2), the first choice remains valid and the candidate retains his or her place in the ranking list for possible scrolling (even if he/she enrols in the degree programme indicated as second choice);
- if the candidate is NOT admitted to the first choice course nor, if expressed, to the second choice one, he or she is placed in the ranking list for both of which he or she may be asked to enrol by subsequent scrolling.
In any case , the order of preference is preserved

/ Internships and careers
Internships and career opportunities
The Faculty offers several internship and apprenticeship opportunities, allowing students to apply the skills acquired in concrete work contexts.
Internships and professional training
The professional internship is a fundamental component of the three-year degree programme in Infermieristica and accompanies students throughout their studies, promoting the progressive development of care, technical and relational skills. Experience in the field allows you to apply the knowledge acquired, consolidate clinical reasoning and develop growing professional autonomy.
The activities take place at the San Carlo Regional Hospital in Potenza and in the other affiliated facilities, under the supervision of clinical and educational tutors. The comparison with different care contexts and with patients with different health needs allows you to acquire skills in planning, managing and evaluating nursing care, dealing with clinical situations of increasing complexity.
At the end of each year, the skills acquired are verified through an internship exam. The evaluation takes into account the path taken, the opinions of the tutors, the papers on clinical cases and a practical test with simulation of care situations, aimed at ascertaining the level of professional preparation achieved.
The Career Service supports students and graduates as they prepare to enter the job market, providing career guidance and resources to help them navigate different professional and organisational contexts. It supports the development of transversal skills, creates opportunities to meet employers and helps students develop an informed and coherent career path.
Every year, more than 20,000 students take part in events organised with over 100 partner companies, and more than 9,500 undertake an internship with support from the Career Service and internship tutors.
