Introduction
6-year degree course in Medicine and Surgery taught exclusively in English. From the first year, theoretical interdisciplinary modules are integrated with hands-on experience and simulation activities, with clerkships starting in the 3rd year.
180 places are annually available for the Medicine course: 130 places available for European students and 50 places available for non-European students.
The degree program in Medicine and Surgery at Humanitas University lasts 6 years and is taught in English. Students can meet up with fellow undergraduates from over 20 countries worldwide. After obtaining a degree in Medicine, graduates can sit the state exam to enter a Medical Specialty School.
From the very first year, theoretical and practical competencies can be acquired thanks to the multidisciplinary modules combined with practical training and simulation activities, carried out under the guidance of professors and researchers with international experience – including 3 Noble Prize Winners – and 150 doctors, who also work as tutors and members of the teaching community. An International Advisory Board supports the University in its educational and training goals.
Starting from the third-year students will start their clinical training at the various Humanitas Hospitals under the supervision of specialized tutors, who follow undergraduates through their clinical practice. Students can also join the Virgilio Programme, dedicated to biomedical research. The program allows for the integration of their curriculum with inter-disciplinary seminars, interactive teaching activities and laboratory experience – one month a year – to enable active participation in scientific research.
Future doctors can also enjoy the benefits of a period abroad thanks to travel grants and the Erasmus program. Conferences and seminars with Italian and internationally renowned doctors and researchers are organized to promote cultural awareness and support professional academic growth.
