Medicine: Federico II begins the filter semester: only those who pass the exams will be able to continue.

The new system for accessing medical school at the University of Naples Federico II will begin on Monday, September 1st. "The transition semester for students enrolled in the single-cycle master's degree programs in Medicine and Surgery, Medicine and Surgery (Technological) - Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, and Veterinary Medicine," explains Professor Giovanni Esposito, president of the School of Medicine and Surgery at Federico II, "envisages entirely in-person teaching for the first five weeks, from September 1st to October 3rd, at three of the University's campuses in Naples (via De Amicis, via D. Montesano, and via Porta di Massa), across seven different channels, and at the new Benevento campus, with the new program launched this year for the first time in collaboration with Unisannio. From October 6th until the end of classes, classes will be entirely remote and synchronous." The University, it is emphasized in a statement, has implemented a significant organizational effort to ensure an orderly and high-quality start: timely scheduling of calendars, strengthening of classrooms and support services, coordination between faculty and technical-administrative staff, with particular attention to welcoming students. Rector Matteo Lorito will open the program, offering his greetings and wishing all students success in their studies and success in achieving their goals. More than 3,500 students are expected at Federico II. The number of pre-enrolled students who have not completed their enrollment is physiological and, in percentage terms, does not differ from previous years. Last year, for example, out of 4,357 candidates for the entrance exams who had completed their enrollment, 3,793 actually showed up for the test: 564 were absent. 87.6% were present. The students "are fully informed about the new reform of access to medicine, aware that the goal is to offer everyone a high-quality preparation." university level that eliminates the phenomenon, and the related market, of expensive private preparations reserved only for those with adequate financial means, and which must be countered by supporting the actions implemented by the Ministry of University and Research"
