ItalyITVerified ProgramsUniversity of Padua runs one English-taught health program in Venice campus, in medicine. Its confirmed 2026-27 fee is €2,990 a year.
Average source completeness across verified programs.
ItalyPadua publishes a single number that Bologna does not: a most recently published maximum annual contribution of approximately €2,739 before reductions and exemptions. That ceiling is lower than Milan's, which makes Padua the cheapest worst case among the Italian public programs on this site — though unlike Bologna's and Milan's, Padua's figures are not confirmed for 2026-2027. The English medicine course is taught at the Venice campus rather than in Padua.
The most recently published structure is a €208 first instalment of taxes and stamp duty, plus later instalments calculated from family economic status. The 2026-08-12 audit adds the band structure behind it: the non-EU fixed-contribution scheme uses degree-group and country categories, with €2,790 and €2,990 standard group amounts and €930 and €996.66 reduced amounts for listed countries. The older figure this site carried, a maximum of approximately €2,739, sits just below the current standard band.
A ceiling is the most useful thing an income-assessed program can publish, because it converts an unbounded 'depends on your assessment' into a worst case you can plan against. Padua's is about €465 below Milan's Area A maximum of €3,204 and about €1,362 below Milan's Area B maximum of €4,101.12. Bologna, whose fee is confirmed for 2026-2027, publishes no ceiling at all.
So the three Italian publics profiled on this site now line up usefully: Bologna is confirmed but unbounded, Milan is confirmed and banded, and Padua is unconfirmed but has the lowest published ceiling. If your question is 'what is the most Italian public medicine could cost me', Padua's most recently published €2,739 is the smallest answer any of them gives.
The catalog records the campus for this program as the Venice campus, not Padua. That is a straightforward fact with real consequences that an applicant reading the university name would not guess: your housing, living costs, commute and clinical placements attach to where the teaching actually happens.
It is worth confirming the campus arrangement directly with the School of Medicine before making housing plans, because a university-name-led assumption is exactly the kind of thing that gets discovered late.
Admission is by the national English-language medical admission procedure with Universitaly pre-enrolment for non-EU applicants — the same route as Bologna and Milan. The most recently run 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, with registration through the Universitaly portal. The new cycle's dates were not published as of our audit, so the prior-cycle dates are shown as the pattern rather than the schedule.
Non-EU applicants requiring a visa complete Universitaly pre-enrolment and obtain recognition, legalisation and translation of the school credential. Italian is required for clinical communication even though the degree is taught in English.
Applicants who need a published worst case rather than an open-ended income assessment, who can hold a September decision open, and who have checked what studying at the Venice campus means for housing and placements.
