Italy’s University of Trieste has officially opened admissions for the 2025–26 academic year, introducing major changes to its medical, dentistry, and veterinary programs. Under the new system—which replaces the traditional national entrance exams—students will first enroll in an “open semester” focusing on foundational courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics. Those who perform sufficiently well in standardized exams at the end of this semester will qualify for full entry into speciality programs.([intrieste.com](https://intrieste.com/2025/06/24/university-of-trieste-opens-enrollment-as-italy-reforms-medical-school-admissions/?utm_source=openai))
The reform, championed by the Italian Minister of University and Research, seeks to broaden access to health-profession degrees while maintaining academic standards. Applicants must also select secondary degree options in related fields should they not meet the medical pathway’s ranking threshold. Tuition for the open semester has been set at €250.([intrieste.com](https://intrieste.com/2025/06/24/university-of-trieste-opens-enrollment-as-italy-reforms-medical-school-admissions/?utm_source=openai))
