Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery

The single-cycle Master’s Degree Course in Medicine and Surgery at Humanitas University lasts six years and is taught entirely in English. From the first year, interdisciplinary theoretical modules are integrated with practical exercises and simulation activities.

In their third year, students begin their professional training pathway, designed, planned and supported by the OME in accordance with well-established pedagogical principles (the RIME framework). This pathway, guided by clearly defined and progressively more complex learning objectives, enables students to apply their theoretical knowledge across three different learning environments: simulation, classroom-based clinical case discussions, and the clinical ward. In each setting, students develop the core pillars of clinical practice: professional behavior, clinical skills (history taking and physical examination) and clinical reasoning.

In addition to clinical training, Humanitas University offers complementary pathways designed to further enrich students’ educational experience.

Students may also apply to join the Virgilio Program, an additional track focused on biomedical research. This program allows them to enrich their curriculum through interdisciplinary seminars, interactive learning activities, and hands-on laboratory experience – one month per year – fostering active participation in scientific research.

Future doctors will also have the opportunity to spend a period abroad, thanks to scholarships, Travel Grants, and the Erasmus Program.
