IMAT Non-EU Results & Analysis 2023-2025 | Full Threshold Report

Context & Exam Changes

After IMAT 2022, Cambridge stopped authoring the exam and the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) took over. From 2023, both question styles and the section balance shifted, which visibly affected IMAT results and thresholds.

Difficulty trend (2023–2025): 2023 was the most challenging, 2024 the easiest, and 2025 returned to a moderate level. In 2023, thresholds climbed versus 2022 because biology, physics, and mathematics gained weight while general knowledge decreased—favoring scientifically strong candidates and pushing cut-offs higher.

IMAT 2024: A sharp rise in thresholds across universities reflected an easier exam, especially in biology. Many candidates achieved near-perfect section scores, lifting overall thresholds to their peak.

IMAT 2025: More demanding than 2024 but not as hard as 2023. High scores were achievable, though less freely than in 2024. As a result, most universities’ thresholds dipped slightly versus 2024, with a few notable exceptions that increased.

Universities with higher 2025 thresholds (vs 2024):

• Parma: Seats unchanged; +8.5 threshold rise suggests a stronger applicant pool and the “correction” of an unusually low 2024 threshold that drew more applicants in 2025.
• Tor Vergata (Rome): +5 seats (now 20). Despite typically lower thresholds than Sapienza, its Rome location and added places made it a popular first choice.
• Catania: Seats doubled, attracting many non-EU candidates. As a relatively new IMAT public university, demand pushed the threshold upward.
• Luigi Vanvitelli: Seats stable, but applicants increased, lifting its 2025 threshold above Federico II—an atypical result driven by demand.
• Pavia: Historically competitive; threshold rose again, likely due to a sizable non-EU quota coupled with increased applications.
