IMAT 2026 Date Changed to 29 September 2026 — Official MUR Update

If you are preparing for English-taught Medicine, Dentistry, or Veterinary Medicine at an Italian public university, please note an important change: the IMAT 2026 exam date has been revised to Tuesday, 29 September 2026. This has been confirmed through an official errata corrige published by Italy's Ministry of University and Research (MUR). Many students are still working with an older date, so read this carefully.

📅 CONFIRMED DATE

Tuesday, 29 September 2026

IMAT 2026 — for Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine delivered in English at Italian public universities (academic year 2026/2027). Verified from the official MUR source.

What Changed: The Date Was Revised Three Times

Within a short period, MUR updated the IMAT date more than once. Here is the full sequence:

• 8 October 2026 — first announced (notice dated 3 July 2026)

• 30 September 2026 — revised shortly after

• 29 September 2026 — current official date (IMAT-specific errata corrige)

The Important Clarification Most People Miss

On MUR's own official page, the main admission-test calendar notice still displays 30 September. The corrected IMAT date sits inside a separate attached document titled "Errata corrige Imat", listed under "Documenti allegati" (attached documents) on the same page. Because it is an attachment rather than the headline notice, it is easy to miss — and several third-party websites did.

In short: the IMAT-specific errata corrige is the most recent document and is specific to this exam, so 29 September 2026 is the date that applies. If you see 30 September elsewhere, it is referring to the older general notice.

What Is Confirmed — And What Is Still Pending

At this stage, only the exam date is confirmed. The following have not been released yet and will be defined in a later official decree (bando):

• The registration window on the Universitaly portal

• The exam fee and payment procedure

• The number of seats and the list of participating universities

We will publish these details as soon as MUR releases the official decree — verified against the government source, never from unverified forwards.

What Students Should Do Now

With the exam on 29 September 2026, the preparation and pre-enrolment runway is tight. Focus on three things:

1. Preparation: Plan for roughly three months of focused IMAT study before the exam.

2. Documents: For non-EU applicants residing abroad, begin pre-enrolment and study-visa steps on Universitaly early — these are the slowest parts of the process.

3. Stay verified: Follow only official MUR and Universitaly updates for registration news.
