How to read this table

• More places is not the same as easier. Popular cities like Milan, Bologna and Rome have few non-EU places and high cut-offs.
• You can pick only one university as a non-EU applicant living abroad. Choose it at Universitaly pre-enrolment. You cannot switch after the exam.
• Tirana is in Albania. Tor Vergata’s 320 places there are taught in Albania, with Albanian living costs, housing and visa rules. Treat it as a separate decision.
• Padua MedTech was listed as awaiting accreditation when the 2026/27 decree came out. Check its status before you choose it.
• Florence offered 50 places in 2026/27, all for EU and equivalent candidates. It had no places for non-EU applicants living abroad.
