US High School Graduates

European English Medical Universities (EEMU), Italy, Pre-Med (EU)
3 AP transcripts or B.A. or B.Sc. degree are required.

In order to apply for the Italian English Medical Universities (IEMU), the applicants with American high school diploma (*including foreign students who have graduated an international school following American education system or American high school) must meet the following requirement, together with a procedure called “Declaration of Value (*Dichiarazione di valore,)” which certifies an equivalency of 12-year long primary and secondary education completion to that of Italian one. This is related NOT to one’s nationality/citizenship but to the school system that governs its jurisdiction over the high school (*secondary school) where an applicant has graduated from.

Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are essential.

According to Italian Consulate General of Detroit, specifically, any “non-Italian” student wishing to apply for an Italian English Medical University must have a High School Diploma as well as meet at least one of the following requirements:

• taken three U.S. Advanced Placement tests (APs), one of which must be in Italian, in three different subjects but relevant to the chosen course of study at the University, and received a passing grade in each (score ranging from 3 to 5);
• have completed one academic year of “College” with certification of acceptance into the second year, and taken four Advanced Placement tests (AP) in subjects that are relevant to the chosen course of study at the University, having received a passing grade in each (score ranging from 3 to 5);
• have completed two academic years of “College” with certification of acceptance into the third year.

*An “AP” in Italian language will not count in the three “AP” requirement for students who have Italian citizenship or for enrolment in courses taught entirely in English.

**It is strongly recommended for an applicant to have accomplished AP courses/exams of Biology/Chemistry and Physics since these are a crucial part of the first year subjects at any Italian medical universities.

Cover Letter is required for diploma and transcript.
