Master in Medicine and Surgery

The tuition fee is 26,806 USD per year.

HUMANITAS University in Pieve Emanuele, Italy offers Medicine and Surgery as a six-year, English-taught program that follows the integrated model common to Italian medical education, in which undergraduate and clinical training are combined into a single continuous course. The field of medicine and surgery spans the biological and clinical sciences needed to diagnose and treat illness, starting with core subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology before advancing into clinical rotations covering internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology and obstetrics, psychiatry, and emergency care. As students progress through the program, coursework shifts from classroom-based science toward supervised clinical practice in hospital wards and outpatient clinics, where they develop skills in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Typical areas of study also include pathology, microbiology, immunology, radiology, and surgical technique, together with instruction in medical ethics, communication, and evidence-based practice. Admission to this kind of program is generally competitive given the limited number of places available each year. Graduates go on to complete specialty training through postgraduate residency programs before practicing independently in fields such as surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, or other clinical and academic specialties. Some pursue careers in medical research or public health rather than direct patient care. Because instruction is in English, the program attracts students from outside Italy who want clinical training grounded in the Italian healthcare system while preparing for licensing pathways in Italy or abroad. Its location in Pieve Emanuele, close to Milano, connects students to a wider network of teaching hospitals and clinical facilities used throughout the course.
