After the closure of the first phase of enrolment - from 8 to 14 January - and the window to apply for a new university - from 16 to 19 January - in the programme leading up to the second semester of Medicine there are other key steps to watch.

The most important of these is the one concerning the recovery of debts, i.e. unsuccessful examinations between Physics, Chemistry and Biology: it will involve around 10 thousand students (just over 7 thousand, in fact, obtained three pass marks).

The next step

Meanwhile, at midnight between 19 and 20 January, the possibility of choosing a place in a faculty of medicine other than the one in which one was assigned in the national rankings closed. An online passage, via Cineca Universitaly, where the seats of the 707 places remaining free after 14 January were indicated.

Now, therefore, it is the turn of the second round of enrolment, from 21 to 24 January. At that point, the related courses in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, health and veterinary areas will come into play, which, starting on the 28th of this month, will have their own rankings and an enrolment window to be used by the 31st to give continuity to the closest Plan B.

Recovery Examinations

Roma Sapienza, so far, has limited itself to general elements, postponing details to a future supplement. Naples II, on the other hand, has announced that the make-up exams will be on 22 January and 26 January: these will be oral exams.

Three dates

The decision to go beyond the minimum of two dates advocated by the department headed by Anna Maria Bernini and thus settle for three is shared by many other academic institutions. The University of Milan is planning three calls for remedial tests for each course, to be held in the following periods: between 26 and 29 January; between 9 and 13 February; between 25 and 26 February.

Florence has opted for 29 January and 12 and 26 February 2026 and has also scheduled 12 hours of online remedial courses supplemented by peer tutoring with senior students and access to teaching materials on e-learning platforms, while another Tuscan (Siena) has already started video courses and the first tests on 29 January.

The same applies to Padua, which has opted for 6, 20 and 27 February for Biology and Chemistry, moving the hands forward 24 hours for Physics (7, 21 and 28 February). Not to be forgotten are Cagliari and Ferrara; the former has circled 2, 12 and 23 February in red for Physics and 5, 16 and 26 February for Biology and Chemistry; the latter has opted for triptychs 3- 16-25 February (Physics), 6-18-27 February (Biology) 6-17-27 (Chemistry). Or Milan Statale, which has identified the periods 26-29 January, 9-13 February and 25-26 February as the three windows to collect at least one mark from 18 upwards.

Also in the process of being formalised are the choices of the universities of Brescia (three dates at the end of January, second and last week of February), Calabria (three weeks of courses starting the day after tomorrow and then three dates) and eastern Piedmont (online courses and triple dates between February and the beginning of March in both Novara and Alessandria).

Finally, the decision of the 'small' Politecnica delle Marche to stop at two appeals, scheduled for 9 and 23 February, seems noteworthy. As should the 'big' Bologna, which should officially announce its complete calendar on 26 January.

Beware of Physics

Other universities pay special attention to the Physics exam, which many have to make up. Tor Vergata, for example, has set three appeal dates just for Physics. Or at Palermo, where the most critical exam affects more than 300 students and will therefore be taken on a different day from the others.
