2027/28

A 2027 cut-off does not exist yet. Last year’s first lists closed at 75.3 (non-EU) and 70.3 (EU, not official).

Checked Sep 29 – Oct 28check due · 16 sources

This year Pavia’s first non-EU list stopped at 75.3 of 90 points, and the top 37 could enroll: Marco Polo places left empty move to this list.

This year’s first EU assignment for Pavia stopped at 70.3. No official public copy of that line exists; it matches several published reports, so I read it as a guide, never as a promise.

Rounds differ from year to year, so no line joins them. Solid = official list · ring = checked against several reports · hollow = our older records.

I used to show older scores here too, but the IMAT changed in 2023, when the Italian Ministry started writing it, so older scores don’t tell you much about today’s exam.

Rankings and scrolling

How do the Pavia rankings and scrolling (scorrimento) work?

In short
EU or equivalent

There is one national ranking. Your place depends on your rank and your preference order, and after every round you must act within days.

Non-EU living abroad · Marco Polo

Pavia ranks only the people who pre-enrolled with Pavia. It publishes its own lists and fills empty places on set dates.

Checked Oct 28check due · 8 sources

On the EU list, an assigned candidate has 4 days to enroll in each round, counting the day the list is updated and leaving out weekends and public holidays.

Non-EU list, step by step

How the Non-EU List Moves

Each dot is one IMAT taker on the 2026 non-EU list (527); violet = the first 37 offers. Scores only, no codes.

  1. Oct 26: the first list offers 37 places, down to 75.3.

  2. Some people offered a place do not enroll. Their places become free. how it works (illustration)

  3. Freed places go down the list. In 2025 the line reached 71.9, in 2024 71.2; on this year’s list that is about rank 58 and 61.

1/3

EU list: an ASSIGNED place is yours if you enroll in time; a BOOKED place waits for a better preference.

EU list, step by step

What ASSIGNED, BOOKED and “Confirm” Mean

  1. This place is yours if you enroll within 4 days; it cancels your other preferences.
  2. You hold this place while you wait for a better preference; you can still enroll here.
  3. After each round, by noon of the set day; skip it and you leave the ranking.

Your score sits in one national EU list. You may be assigned another of your preferences first; confirming after each round keeps you moving up.

Prepare

How do I prepare for the IMAT for Pavia?

In short

One national test for every English-taught medicine course in Italy: 60 questions in 100 minutes, +1.5 right, −0.4 wrong. Ties are broken by biology first.

Checked Oct 28check due · 6 sources

In 2026 the test had 60 questions in 100 minutes: 1.5 points for a right answer, -0.4 for a wrong one and nothing for a blank.

My advice: when you cannot narrow a question down, leave it blank, because a wrong answer takes points away.

Merit colleges

The collegi di merito

Pavia’s historic merit colleges (Borromeo, Ghislieri, Nuovo, Santa Caterina) take students by their own competition, with exams of their own; they are not EDiSU rooms.

  • Collegio Nuovo: apply by Aug 28, 2026Expected late Aug 2027 (2026/27: Aug 28, 2026); the exams started Sep 3, 2026Expected early Sep 2027 (2026/27: Sep 3, 2026); 22 first-year places.
  • Its yearly contribution runs from €4,500 to €12,500, by family income.
  • The other merit colleges publish their own calls and fees.

Fees by Family Income and the Scholarship for Families Abroad

Two routes. Do nothing and you pay the flat rate for your citizenship. Or hand in your family’s income documents: your fees follow your income, and you can apply for the EDiSU scholarship. Here is the second route, step by step.

  1. One set of documents. If you hand your family income documents to EDiSU for the scholarship, EDiSU passes the data to the university and your fees are set by income, with nothing more to send. Without a scholarship application, send the same documents to the university through Filo Diretto by the fees deadline. Without documents you pay the flat rate for your citizenship.
  2. Ask your country’s offices for (reference year 2025):
    • Family composition: everyone in the household, with dates of birth and relationship
    • Gross income abroad in the reference year (or unemployment) for each adult
    • Buildings owned abroad on 31 December of the reference year, with floor area in square metres (or proof you own none)
    • Bank balance and investments on 31 December of the reference year (the December statement)
  3. Make them valid in Italy. Issued by the authorities of the country where the income was earned and the property is held, then legalised by the Italian embassy or consulate, with an Italian translation certified by them; countries in the Hague convention can use the apostille. Where that is hard: a certificate in Italian from your country’s embassy or consulate in Italy, legalised by the Prefettura. Not accepted: self-declarations, sworn statements or affidavits.
  4. Who works out your band. EDiSU, from the original documents you hand in: each family member’s income abroad plus 20% of the family’s assets abroad, divided by a scale for the size of the family, at the average exchange rate of the reference year. Your declared income abroad never counts below €10,179.85 (the visa minimum).
  5. Deadlines. Originals to EDiSU by Sep 15, 2026Expected mid-Sep 2027 (2026/27: Sep 15, 2026) for the scholarship; for fees only, to the university by Nov 6, 2026Expected early Nov 2027 (2026/27: Nov 6, 2026).

Students from the ministry’s list of particularly poor countries hand in a certificate from the Italian representation that the family is not of notoriously high income instead.

Life in Pavia

Where will I live, and how do I get around Pavia and to Milan?

In short

Lessons are at the Campus della Salute, Policlinico San Matteo. A single room in a shared flat near the hospitals is advertised at €290–€500 a month. The student bus pass is €27 a year if you get one of the 11,000 UNIPASS cards early (they sold out this year); otherwise UNIPASS PLUS costs €65–€160 depending on the day you activate it. Milano Centrale is 32 minutes away by direct train.

The rules

Faculty Rules for Erasmus

ISCED study code for Harvey in the partner tables:
Medicine - 0912
How courses abroad are recognised:
The Faculty first compares the content of the course abroad with the Pavia course; equal ECTS alone does not make two courses equivalent.
Clinical credits abroad (TPV):
You can earn TPV credits abroad only if you already meet the TPV entry requirements (art. 4 of the traineeship rules) and a Learning Agreement signed in advance with the Erasmus office lists them; otherwise only curricular traineeship credits are recognised. If you reach the requirement during the mobility, the Learning Agreement can be changed.
Where the partner list is:
The 2026/27 partner list is on the university Erasmus study page (Area of Medicine and Surgery) and in the "Erasmus" folder of the Kiro platform (login).
Erasmus+ Traineeship partners:
Erasmus+ Traineeship has no partner list: you find your own host.
  • Pavia recognizes Harvey students’ English at B2 for selection; a host can still ask for its own certificate.
  • Up to 24 Erasmus months over the whole degree; other routes: Overseas Exchange, EC2U, Coimbra Group SEN, and Free Mover.

Selection

Application Dates and Selection

  1. First call: online from Jan 28 to Feb 10, 2026 · 01:00 PM Italy time.
  2. Second call: Jun 18 to Jul 2, for mobility from Jan 1 – Sep 30, 2027.
  • Up to 5 ranked preferences on Mobility-Online; a score out of 150: 100 for academic merit and 50 for motivation (at least 20 to be eligible).
  • The faculty discourages mobility before year 3 and in year 6 because compatible plans are difficult; year 6 should mainly support thesis work.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pavia

Checked Oct 28check due · 13 sources

Is the IMAT the same for every university in Italy?

Yes: IMAT, the national admission test for English-taught medicine, written by the Ministry (MUR); the same test at every university. In 2026 it was held on Sep 29, 2026.

How many places does Pavia have for medicine in English?

For 2026/27: 103 for EU and equivalent candidates, 35 for non-EU candidates living abroad and 5 for Marco Polo (Chinese) candidates.

What was the Pavia cut-off in 2026?

The first non-EU list went down to 75.3, with a tie at that score. The first national assignment for EU candidates closed at 70.3, checked against several published reports; no official public EU number exists.

How did the non-EU cut-off move in later rounds?

In 2025 the replacement list reached 71.9; in 2024 the final list reached 71.2.

Can dual citizens apply as non-EU?

If a winner on the non-EU list turns out to also hold an EU citizenship, they lose the place and are removed from the non-EU list.

What happens to unused Marco Polo places?

Unfilled Marco Polo places go to the non-EU general quota; unfilled non-EU places go to EU and equivalent candidates.

How much are the fees for non-EU students in Pavia?

A flat rate by citizenship, tax and stamp included: €390, €1,520 or €4,550 a year. India and Pakistan are in the first band; your country is in the calculator above.

How much are the fees for EU students in Pavia?

From €146 to €5,057 a year, set by your family ISEE: a university contribution in income bands, plus the regional tax and the stamp duty.

When is the EDiSU scholarship deadline?

In 2026 it was Sep 15, 2026, before the test: you apply before you know your result.

How much money do I need to show for an Italian study visa?

€10,179.85 a year for 2026/27. A scholarship application does not count as funds.

Can I transfer into Harvey from another university?

Only into a year with vacancies. The 2026 snapshot had EU vacancies in years 2 to 6 (4, 7, 5, 4, 7) and none for non-EU students; the application fee was €100.

What is OFA?

An extra first-year obligation: with a ranking score below 30 you start year 1 with one to clear.

Do I have to attend lectures?

Yes. Attendance is compulsory for lectures and placements; elective activities need 75%.

When do classes start for first years?

Semester 1 teaching runs from Oct 1, 2026 to Jan 15, 2027. The year-1 timetable link returned no readable schedule when we checked, so we do not give a day for your first lesson.

Do I need to speak Italian to study at Harvey?

Not to start. If your school diploma is from outside Italy and you cannot show Italian at the level the study plan asks for, or another accepted proof, your study plan has Italian courses in years one and two (4 + 4 ECTS) in place of English; B1 is the target for the clinical years.

Where are the lessons?

At the Campus della Salute, Policlinico San Matteo, Viale Golgi 19, Pavia.

How is the IMAT scored?

+1.5 for a right answer, −0.4 for a wrong one, 0 for a blank; the maximum is 90.

When is the 2027 test?

Not set yet. Expected mid to late September 2027, from the rhythm of the last two years; the new decree is expected in August.

Words You’ll Meet (31)

graduatoria
The ranking list. Everyone who took the test, ordered by score; places are offered from the top down.
scorrimento
The list "scrolling" down. When people offered a place do not enroll, their places go to the next people on the list, in rounds.
ASSEGNATO / PRENOTATO
Assigned or booked. ASSIGNED: this place is yours if you enroll in time. BOOKED: you hold this place while you wait for a better preference.
manifestazione di interesse
Saying you are still interested. A short confirmation after each round (or an email, on the non-EU list); skip it and you leave the list.
immatricolazione
Enrollment. Signing up as a student and paying the first instalment; until you do, the place is not yours.
pre-iscrizione
Pre-enrollment. The Universitaly application a non-EU student makes for one university; the visa and the local ranking both depend on it.
bando
The official call. The university’s document with every rule, date and fee for this year’s admission. When the page and the call differ, the call wins.
ISEE
Italy’s family income and wealth indicator. Fees and scholarships read it. For university you need the version called "ISEE per prestazioni universitarie".
ISPE
The wealth part of ISEE. The scholarship has a separate limit on it, next to the ISEE limit.
contribuzione forfettaria
The flat rate. A fixed yearly fee by country of citizenship for non-EU students, instead of fees by family income.
tassa regionale
The regional study tax. A small yearly tax that funds scholarships; it is part of every fee bill.
imposta di bollo
Stamp duty. A fixed tax on the enrollment paperwork, paid with the first instalment.
EDiSU
Pavia’s student services agency. It runs the scholarships, the colleges and the canteens, with its own calls and deadlines.
collegio
A college (student residence). EDiSU colleges give rooms by income band; merit colleges add a selection of their own.
borsa di studio
A scholarship. Money plus services (meals, sometimes a room) for students under the income limits; you keep it by earning credits.
Dichiarazione di valore
Declaration of value. A consulate document saying what your diploma is worth in your country; CIMEA can issue an equivalent.
CIMEA
Italy’s center for diploma recognition. It verifies and compares foreign diplomas; its statements can replace the consulate’s papers.
apostille
A stamp that makes a document valid abroad. Countries in the Hague convention use it instead of a consulate legalization.
permesso di soggiorno
The residence permit. After you land you apply for it at the post office; the visa only lets you enter.
codice fiscale
The Italian tax code. Your personal code for enrollment, rent contracts, the doctor and the bank.
CFU / ECTS
Credits. Credits measure your study work: every exam and placement is worth a set number of them, and the degree needs them all.
OFA
An extra first-year obligation. If your test score was below the OFA line, you must pass an online course and a final test on the test topics before you can take any exam.
TPV
The assessed clinical traineeship. Clinical training that counts towards your license; abroad it needs prerequisites and a signed Learning Agreement.
frequenza obbligatoria
Compulsory attendance. You must attend lectures and placements to sit the exams.
Universitaly
The national portal. Where you register for the test, see your paper and ranking, confirm your interest and pre-enroll.
Filo Diretto
Pavia’s help desk. Ticket-based: pick a category and a person answers in writing.
our count
A date we worked out. The call gives a rule (a number of days, weekends and holidays not counted), not a date; we counted it. Check your Universitaly area for yours.
college group A / B
Two price lists. EDiSU colleges are split into two groups with slightly different yearly charges; the colleges in each group are listed under College rooms.
income band
Where your family income falls. Bands come from your ISEE (or the ISEE equivalent for a family abroad); band 1 is the lowest. Above the scholarship limit you pay the highest college band.
ISEE parificato
The ISEE for a family abroad. EDiSU works it out from your family’s income and property documents from home, legalized and translated; it plays the role of the ISEE.
ARDI
An online database of diplomas. The Statement of Correspondence you download from the ARDI database is one of the accepted ways to compare your diploma.

What Changed

  • Oct 28, 2026 · Non-EU places 2025: we now count the Marco Polo places too, as the ministry does
  • Oct 28, 2026 · Non-EU cut-off 2024: our older value was the EU number by mistake; it is now the number on Pavia’s own list
  • Oct 28, 2026 · Regional tax bands 2026/27: the university’s amended fees notice moved the income edges of the bands (the totals did not change)

Open Questions in the Sources

  • Places per year: an undated university page still says a round number; we follow the 2026/27 call
  • EU cut-off 2025: our older record differs slightly and has no round; we show the first-round value and keep checking
  • EU cut-off 2024: only our older record exists; it is drawn hollow
  • Regional tax bands 2026/27: the amended notice is newer and wins; if your income is right on an edge, check the university’s simulator
  • Second fee instalment: an older English notice printed an earlier date: paying by that earlier date is the safe choice
  • Subject line of the interest email: the Italian call is the binding text, so the copy button uses its wording
  • When to apply for the visa: two documents give two dates: the earlier one is the safe one
  • Deadline for income documents (fees): the amended fees notice moved it later; we show the new date
  • Scholarship, commuter band 3: the call prints two different amounts; check with EDiSU

How We Check

Every number on this page is one record with its source, the line we read it on, the date we checked it and the date we check it again. When a new call or list comes out, we re-read the document and the page changes with it. Independent reports may cross-check a number; we never name or link them.
