Starting from the academic year 2025/26, the University of Trieste will activate a second Bachelor’s Degree in Dental Hygiene at the Pordenone campus, alongside the one already offered in Trieste. The publication of the admission call for the Health Professions degree programs confirms the new developments in the educational offer anticipated in recent weeks.

The total number of places for the Dental Hygiene degree program (CLID) will therefore increase from last year’s 30 to 50, equally distributed between Trieste and Pordenone. This further expands the University’s presence in Pordenone, following the launch of the Dietetics degree program last year.

Separate rankings will be drawn up for the Trieste and Pordenone Dental Hygiene programs: applicants may indicate both campuses and, if eligible, may be admitted to their second choice through ranking shifts.

For the a.y. 2025/26, UniTS has planned the training of 460 future healthcare professionals, through the activation of ten first-level degree programs: Health Assistance (40 places, Gorizia), Dietetics (30 places, Pordenone), Physiotherapy (40 places, Trieste), Dental Hygiene with 25 places in Trieste and 25 in Pordenone, Nursing (200 places, Trieste), Speech Therapy (30 places, Trieste), Environmental and Workplace Prevention Techniques (20 places, Gorizia), and Psychiatric Rehabilitation Techniques (30 places, Trieste).

Among the inter-university programs with the University of Udine, which alternate annually between the two institutions, this year the Midwifery degree program returns to Trieste, with 20 available places, four more than in the previous UniTS call (2023). At UniUD, the Biomedical Laboratory Techniques and Medical Radiology Techniques for Imaging and Radiotherapy degree programs will be offered, each with 40 places available.

In addition, the new rules regulating admission to Master’s Degree programs in Medicine, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine provide for reserved quotas of up to 20% of the planned places in related health profession degree programs, available to candidates who are not admitted in the merit ranking at the end of the filter semester. At the University of Trieste, this will allow for up to 40 additional enrollments in Nursing, 8 in Health Assistance, and 4 in Environmental and Workplace Prevention Techniques.

Applications must be submitted exclusively online by 1:00 p.m. on 28 August, according to the procedures indicated in the official call. Each applicant may select up to three different degree programs, for which they will be considered in the rankings.

The admission test, common to all degree programs, will take place on Monday, 8 September 2025 in Trieste, at the Piazzale Europa campus (buildings H3 and C1), starting at 11:00 a.m., with identification procedures beginning at 8:30 a.m. The test will last 100 minutes and will consist of 60 multiple-choice questions, covering reading skills and acquired knowledge, logical reasoning and problem solving, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
