IMAT Medicine Preparation Programme

The IMAT is an Admissions Test required for English taught Medicine and Dentistry courses in Italy. 

The IMAT is required by:

• University of Ancona
• University of Bari
• University of Bologna
• University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’ 
• University of Messina
• University of Milan 
• University of Milan-Bicocca
• University of Naples Federico II 
• University of Pavia 
• University of Rome ‘Sapienza’ 
• University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’ 
• University of Siena
• University of Turin
• University of Padova
• University of Parma

There is a penalty of -0.4 points for each incorrect answer in the IMAT. This removes the luxury of always being able to guess should you not be able to figure out the right answer or run behind on time. 

At UniAdmissions, we’ve guided hundreds of students to Oxford and Cambridge for more than a decade, achieving success rates over three times the national average. To maintain this, we implement the Scholar Limit, restricting programme admissions to ensure every student receives the high-quality teaching and support they deserve.

While we support more applicants each year, the Scholar Limit ensures we uphold our standards and maximize students’ chances of success. If capacity is full, you can enrol early for the next cohort, securing your spot and gaining immediate access to the UniAdmissions Portal and its resources.

Alternatively, you can join our waitlist or apply for the Fellows Programme, which allows you to start anytime with added benefits.

Every IMAT tutor at UniAdmissions is carefully vetted by our programmes team, meaning you will only work with experienced, highly knowledgeable tutors who are truly experts in the IMAT.

If you are ever unhappy with your tutor (an unlikely occurrence), then your dedicated Programme Manager will arrange a better-suited tutor for you.

We do have ideal start times at points throughout the year, however, the syllabus can be adapted to suit your particular start time if you are accepted onto the Programme. Our Admissions Consultants can help you understand the Programme timeline in your specific case – all you need to do is ask.

Unfortunately, the IMAT cannot be properly prepared for in a couple of days. We’ve found, through years of research and preparing students for the IMAT, that doing it over a longer period of time is a much more effective way of actually absorbing the skills needed to perform on the day and ultimately get a higher IMAT score.

Once you have enrolled on the IMAT Programme with us, we will invite you to an onboarding session and begin to arrange your tutors.

This session will introduce you to important members of our team who will be supporting you along your journey with UniAdmissions. We will also show you how to get the most out of your Programme and how to use everything that is included.
