Admission procedure

The admission to studies is done by taking the IMAT in September, read more information here!

Our IMAT courses are designed together with our teachers and tutors strictly on the official IMAT syllabus, so every lesson is aligned with what appears in the exam. This way, students study only what they really need, learning efficiently without wasting time on unnecessary or off-topic content.

1. IMAT Online (eLearning) Courses
Please see this link: https://www.med-study-imat-courses.com/imat-online-preparation-courses
You can:
• Buy individual courses (Biology, Chemistry, Physics/Math, Logic, Reading, etc.) for 49 €–79 € each, and pay directly online, or
• Buy the Online Courses Membership, which gives you access to all 7 IMAT courses in one package.
If you later decide to sign up for our online application support, you will receive this membership for free, so you do not need to buy it twice.

2️. LIVE on ZOOM IMAT Courses (with Italian PhD teachers)
We also offer live, interactive IMAT courses on Zoom with our Italian teachers, both highly qualified and holding PhD titles.
Please open this link: https://www.med-study-imat-courses.com/imat-live-and-interactive-preparation-courses
Read the information and watch the introductory videos from the two teachers.
Even though the live course starts only in July, you should not wait until summer to begin your preparation. As soon as you register for the live course, you will receive immediate free access to our Online Courses Membership (worth 499 €) so you can start studying on your own right away. In summer, you will then go through the entire content again together with the teachers, with explanations, strategies, and live practice.
