Average source completeness across verified programs.
ItalyAncona is one of the two cheapest cities to live in of the fifteen Italian locations on this site — about €8,800 a year against €12,600 in Milan. At an Italian public university that matters more than the tuition does, because the tuition is a €156 fixed charge plus an income-assessed contribution. Marche is also explicit about what happens if you have no income assessment at all.
The Italian public fee structure has been described elsewhere on this site: a mandatory fixed charge of a most recently published €156 — €140 regional tax plus €16 stamp duty — and then an all-inclusive contribution set by economic assessment. Those figures come from the 2025-2026 cycle and are not confirmed for 2026-2027.
What is worth doing here is the comparison nobody makes. On this site's cost presets, housing and other living costs run from about €8,500 a year in Messina to €12,600 in Milan across the fifteen Italian locations covered, on the ten-month study-year basis used here. Over six years that spread is roughly €24,600 — which is almost exactly the six-year total of Milan's published maximum contribution, at about €24,607.
So for Italian public medicine, choosing your city is worth about as much as the entire worst-case tuition bill. Ancona sits at roughly €8,800 a year, joint second cheapest with Catania and only €300 above Messina, or about €52,800 across the degree — roughly €22,800 less than the same six years in Milan.
Marche's fee record states the part most Italian pages leave implicit: non-EU students without an ISEE assessment pay the published country-band flat contribution instead. The income route is ISEE or ISEE-parificato; the fallback is a band determined by where you are from.
That is the single most important thing an international applicant to an Italian public needs to establish, and it is a question about paperwork rather than about money. If you can obtain an ISEE-parificato — the equivalent assessment for a household whose income is not Italian — you are assessed on means. If you cannot, or do not, you pay a flat band rate that may be considerably higher than a means-tested outcome would have been.
Our record is equally direct that there is no honest single total here, because the variable amount depends on income or country. Establish which route applies to you before treating any Italian public figure as a budget.
Admission is by the national English-language medical admission procedure with Universitaly pre-enrolment for non-EU applicants. The most recent cycle opened 26 August 2025, closed 9 September 2025 at 15:00 CEST, and tested on 17 September 2025 at 11:00 local time with 60 multiple-choice questions in 100 minutes. For 2026-2027 the official call is to be published by 31 August 2026 under a Ministry of University and Research notice of 3 July 2026.
That timing is the standing cost of the Italian public route: you find out in September, when several countries have already started teaching. It is why an Italian public application usually needs a parallel application elsewhere rather than being run alone.
The degree is a six-year Laurea Magistrale LM-41 from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. Italian is required for clinical communication even though the degree is taught in English. Note that this site's Ancona cost preset carries a Medium source-confidence rating, so verify local housing costs rather than budgeting to the euro from it.
Applicants who understand that at an Italian public the city decides the cost, who want one of the cheapest Italian locations to live in, and who have established whether they will be assessed on ISEE-parificato or charged a flat country band.
