Its official brochure identifies the student office at Via Sergio Pansini 5 and the International Students’ office at Corso Umberto I 40, separating academic administration from international administrative support. Naples is a large southern Italian city, and the university’s public medicine brochure does not set a single living-cost figure. Tuition is described as based on certified family income (ISEEU) and excludes food and accommodation, so a complete budget requires a current individual fee assessment plus housing and daily-living planning. The official English Medicine and Surgery brochure describes a six-year, 360-ECTS curriculum that integrates basic and clinical courses. It lists laboratory teaching, workshops, small-group tutorials, seminars and clinical placements in primary and secondary care, with internship and an experimental thesis as integral parts of the programme. ## Hostel, food and safety Federico II directs students to ADISU Federico II for housing information. The public course brochure does not publish a guaranteed room, a residence rate or a universal private-rental range, so accommodation should be secured as a separate step after the programme and regional-support route are understood. The medicine brochure expressly excludes food and accommodation from tuition. Federico II does not publish an English Medicine-specific meal-plan price in that brochure, so the cost plan should separate tuition assessment, housing, food, transport, insurance and administrative charges. The programme’s public materials provide student-office, medical-school and international-office contact routes but do not publish campus-specific safety statistics. This page therefore describes the available administrative support without asserting a comparative safety outcome. International students are supported through Federico II’s International Students’ office and the university’s online administrative platform, Segrepass. The 2026/27 enrollment guidance states that restricted-access programmes follow the methods and deadlines set in their published calls, rather than the open-admission enrollment route. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Medicine and Surgery at Federico II taught in English?
