Medicine, chaos over the Tirana campus. Bernini: 'Tor Vergata is wrong, fees too high'

A case broke out after the publication of the ranking list and the protests of 220 students. That is, those who, having qualified after the Physics, Chemistry and Biology exams of the filter semester, were sent to the Tor Vergata University in Tirana, Albania.

The destination would not be the problem, according to the students interviewed, since it is explicitly stated at the time of registration. If anything, it is the price of the 9,650 euro tuition fee

For this reason, after a few hours, University Minister Anna Maria Bernini summoned the university's rector, Nathan Levialdi Ghiron. A meeting in the evening to reiterate that she considers 'the decision to apply such a high level of taxation to students assigned to the Tirana campus to be wrong'.

To the rector, he also "highlighted the necessity of an immediate review of a request that I consider inconsistent with the aims of the open semester and disproportionate to the principles that must guide the public university system. Such a contribution regime is in fact incompatible with the full and effective implementation of the right to study, which must be guaranteed to all students, regardless of where they attend".

The Albanian seat of reference is the University of Our Lady of Good Counsel, which has a joint degree course with the University of Rome Tor Vergata, calledJoint Degree. This has made 220 more places available for future students in Medicine and Surgery.
