Why Link Campus · Rome

A UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE
WITH A SENSE OF PLACE.

Casale San Pio V gives students something rare: a close university community inside one of Europe’s most influential medical, cultural and international capitals.

02
HISTORIC CHARACTER.
MODERN AMBITION.

Link Campus University combines the atmosphere of a historic Roman estate with contemporary teaching facilities, collaborative learning spaces and an expanding medical-education route. The result is a campus that feels personal without separating students from the opportunities of a global capital.

For future doctors, Rome is more than a backdrop. It is a multilingual city, a major healthcare centre and a daily lesson in people, systems and culture.

◆ DISTINCTIVE CAMPUSStudy inside the historic Casale San Pio V complex, surrounded by courtyards, gardens and Roman architecture.
◆ CONNECTED COMMUNITYA compact campus makes it easier to build relationships with classmates, lecturers and student services.
◆ INTERNATIONAL ROMELive in a capital shaped by universities, hospitals, research organisations, embassies and global mobility.

MEDICINE REQUIRES SELECTION

Foundation completion does not guarantee admission. Candidates must satisfy eligibility and pass the official test.

THE RIGHT ROUTE IS PERSONAL: education length, diploma eligibility, Italian proficiency, science readiness, budget and timing should all be assessed before applying.
CHOOSE FOUNDATION IF…

You need stronger science, academic English, study method or cultural preparation before university entry.

CHOOSE DIRECT MEDICINE IF…

Your diploma is eligible, your Italian is ready and you can compete confidently in the official test.

BOTH ROUTES REQUIRE…

Early document planning, a realistic budget and a precise understanding of official university rules.

Who it can serve

NOT A WAITING YEAR-A YEAR WITH A JOB TO DO.

The strongest use of Foundation is intentional: close the 12-year-schooling gap where applicable, gain academic momentum and prepare for the next admissions cycle without losing sight of the final selection test.

  • For applicants whose school pathway may not yet meet Italian entry rules.
  • For students who need a structured science rebuild before Medicine.
  • For international students adapting to study, language and life in Italy.
  • For candidates who want guided preparation rather than an unstructured gap year.
PROGRESSION IS NOT AUTOMATIC: completing Foundation does not itself guarantee admission to Medicine, an EU/equiparato classification or a place in any later-year transfer. The applicable selection rules, immigration status and annual call must be checked for the individual applicant.
