The admission test for the Medicine and Surgery degree program has always been one of the most challenging due to its competitiveness and rigorous selection process. Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, significant changes will be introduced to the admission process following the Senate’s approval of the legislative delegation to eliminate the traditional entry test for Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, and Veterinary Medicine degree programs. Let’s look at the first updates for the upcoming academic year.

1. FILTER SEMESTER
The filter semester’s is one of the main innovations of this reform. The first six months of the Medicine
and Surgery degree program will be open to anyone who wishes to embark on this path. During this
period, students will attend courses and take exams designed to evaluate the competencies and knowledge
acquired during the semester. Those who do not pass the filter semester will still retain the academic
credits earned during this period, which can be applied to alternative educational paths.

2. NATIONAL TEST
A national test with a ranking system will still be in place for the next academic year. However, only students
who have passed a certain number of exams and earned corresponding ECTS credits in biomedical subject during the first semester will be eligible to take the test. The details regarding the specific exams and required number of credits are still under development.

3. AVAILABLE SEATS
The total number of available seats nationwide may increase to 25,000, up from the 20,000 available this
year.

Starting December 9, Edisu Piemonte will distribute 1,900 free voucher booklets to students of universities and AFAM institutions in Piedmont. Each booklet will include 3 vouchers redeemable for cinema tickets and one voucher valid for admission to live performance venues affiliated with Piemonte Dal Vivo.

This initiative is part of the “Edisu Cultura” program, through which the Regional Authority for the Right to Education has introduced a cultural welfare proposal for the 2023/24 academic year. The aim is to offer students opportunities for growth and engagement through cultural activities designed specifically for them.

cinemas, excluding special events and premieres. A total of 1,900 vouchers are available.

served." Only the first 1,900 applicants who meet the following conditions will be eligible:

UniTo is introducing Italy’s first interdisciplinary Queer Studies course, a 6-credit program that, through various modules, delves into classic themes of queer theory, such as sexual and gender orientation, feminism, and the intersectionality of different forms of discrimination. The course will be delivered entirely in English and can be included in the academic curriculum of all students at the University. This program will commence in the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year and is formally part of the Global Law and Transnational Legal Studies degree program within the Department of Law.

The Queer Studies course, coordinated by Prof. Antonio Vercellone, a professor of private law, will feature contributions from academics and professionals from various disciplines, as well as experts from civil society. A wide range of topics will be covered during the lectures, including queer theory, the history of the LGBTQI+ movement, interdisciplinary aspects of the concept of gender, gender identity and transsexuality, gender medicine, the relationship between Christianity and homosexuality, LGBTQI+ themes in cinema and theater, sexual and gender stereotypes in the media, non-monogamies and new forms of family, emerging forms of parenthood and LGBTQI+ parenting, gender architecture, asylum and international protection for LGBTQI+ migrants, disability, sexuality and ableism, gender biases in economic theory, and much more.

“This course,” stated Prof. *Mia Caielli, President of the Comitato Unico di Garanzia of the Università di Turino, “reaffirms the commitment of Università di Torino to these themes and adds an important component to the existing teaching and research initiatives on gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity already present at our university.”
