Master in Medicine and Surgery REPLICA - BOLZANO

Tuition is 18,150 USD per year.

Medicine and Surgery REPLICA - BOLZANO is a six-year master's programme taught in English through Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, with its administrative base in Milano, Italy, and delivered as a parallel track in Bolzano. As with other single-cycle medicine programmes, this discipline trains students to become physicians, integrating foundational biomedical sciences with hands-on clinical training. Early coursework typically covers anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology, providing the scientific grounding needed to understand human health and disease. Later stages of the degree move into clinical rotations across specialities including internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, and psychiatry, where students work directly with patients under the supervision of practising clinicians in hospital and outpatient settings. Medicine is a demanding and highly regulated field, and this programme structure reflects that: it prepares students for the full scope of clinical practice rather than a narrow specialisation. After the years of study, graduates generally proceed to postgraduate training or a chosen specialisation before beginning independent practice, in line with the medical licensing requirements of the country where they plan to work. Career destinations range across hospital medicine, surgery, general practice, and research, depending on the path graduates choose after graduation. Delivered fully in English, the programme allows international students to complete medical training in Italy without first mastering Italian. Admission is limited to a fixed number of places, or numero programmato, and a secondary school diploma is the entry requirement. This capped-admission model is standard for medical degrees in Italy, since clinical training depends on a limited number of hospital placements and closely supervised teaching capacity.
