The FEBU Part 1 is a single online paper:
There's no negative marking. The pass mark uses cohort-based standard setting — derived from the average score and standard deviation of all candidates. Pass rates are typically around 85%.
You're eligible if you're a final-year resident in an EBU member country or already hold a national urology diploma.
The FEBU syllabus is defined by the European Training Requirements (ETR), most recently updated in 2025. It uses a graded knowledge system:
Grade 3 topics are examination priorities and you should focus your revision accordingly.
The FEBU expects solid basic science foundations:
Detailed expectations across all urological malignancies including mpMRI/PI-RADS, fusion biopsy, ISUP grading, prognostic nomograms (Partin, Kattan, Briganti), EORTC risk stratification, nephrometry scores (RENAL, PADUA), and systemic therapy including targeted agents and immunotherapy.
The syllabus also covers andrology, paediatric urology (with graded clinical importance), infections, trauma, transplantation, and notably — the ETR 2025 explicitly includes gender-affirming urological procedures at Grade 2.
The FEBU is built around EAU Guidelines — they are your primary resource. Almost everything you need for the written exam is in there, updated annually.
Urobank is built around the same topics covered in the FEBU syllabus. Our questions are organised into: Anatomy, Basic Science, Stats, BPH, Functional, Urolithiasis, Infections, Emergency Urology, Trauma, Prostate Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Renal Cancer, UTUC, Testicular Cancer, Penile Cancer, Urethral Cancer, Andrology, Paediatric Urology, Transplant, and Technology.
With content aligned to EAU Guidelines, it's a practical way to test yourself across the breadth of the curriculum.
The FEBU Part 1 syllabus is comprehensive but well-defined. The ETR 2025 grading system tells you exactly where to focus — prioritise Grade 3 topics. EAU Guidelines are your bible.
The exam is passable with structured preparation. Read widely, practise questions, and know your guidelines inside out.
