Medicina a Tirana: come funziona davvero — ce lo racconta uno studente al quarto anno

Medicine in Albania — at Our Lady of Good Counsel University in Tirana. We talk with Simone Del Coco, a fourth-year Italian student, who gives us an inside look at how this program really works. In this video, we cover everything: the entrance exam (similar to the Italian one, but without logic and general knowledge, with high school diplomas and report cards counting up to 30 points), tuition costs (about €9,000 per year, without ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) and no installment plans), the organization of classes (professors from Rome Tor Vergata who travel back and forth, maximum two subjects per week), the issue of exam sessions (only two per session, no regular special exams), hospital internships in Albania (language is a real barrier), and how transfers to Italian universities work. This isn't a video against this university—it's an honest account from someone who lives there. It highlights its strengths, real challenges, and offers practical advice for those considering this path. As a university city, Tirana has a lot to offer: low costs, a high quality of life, and everything within walking distance. The main problem, according to Simone, is the relationship between what you pay and what you receive. Leave a comment with your questions or experience.
