Some of the admission test could regard the specific humanitarian mission of UniCamillus. It could happen only if cited in the specific “Call for Admission” document. The main topics:
“… relevant issues for the lack of health professionals in many developing countries, pathologies spread in these countries, international bodies tasked with facing humanitarian problems, leading figures who have contributed to these fields and inherent topics. The required competence on these issues is not specific: a mere knowledge deriving from reading newspapers and other media which provide updated news on these topics will be sufficient. In other words these questions will be aimed to bring to light the interest of the candidates towards the above mentioned topics; where such interest exists, the candidates will probably have read and delve into these issues, although on an informative and not specialized basis.” 
In other words, a thorough knowledge is not required. It is highly valued the interest, the inquisitiveness, the attention of the candidate to the sanitary issues in the Developing Countries, the humanitarian policies and the activities implemented by the international community.
A list of relevant references useful to understand and get involved in the abovementioned issues is shown below.

For EU students residing outside Italy or having earnings outside Italy, with one or more family members without the Fiscal Code issued by the Italian fiscal authority (Agenzia delle Entrate), the tuition fees are determined via “ISEE Parificato” indicator (an indicator which makes incomes comparable among different fiscal systems). UniCamillus has signed an agreement with CISL Lazio, an entity with several branches (“Patronati”) that are able to produce the “ISEE Parificato” for students falling under this definition.

The regional fee for the right to study is a contribution that students enrolled in a University with legal office in Lazio pay to the region. It must be paid to Lazio DiSCo account. Info will be made available on their website.
The contribution, in favor of DiSCo Lazio, must be made exclusively through the appropriate section “Taxes and contributions” on the Gomp student portal.
Not paying or paying less than the regional fee amount can have consequences on the academic path. The conservation of the documentation proving the payment is the responsibility of the student.
