2019 admissions for Humanitas Medical School in Milan, Italy

Humanitas Medicine and Surgery degree course is a 6-year university programme. The course is taught entirely in English. From the first year, theoretical interdisciplinary modules are integrated with hands-on experience and simulation activities. Clerkships commence in the 3rd year, when students can also access the The Virgilio Program, a supplementary project based in a research laboratory aimed at developing students’ competences in biomedical and translational research but also as a means to supporting students while working on their experimental thesis.

About the Virgilio Program:

Medical students will develop a deep understanding of the link between basic research and clinical research and be able to combine patient care with biomedical research.
The project is funded by Fondazione Cariplo and coordinated by Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca. It is open to students attending Humanitas University, Università degli Studi di Milano and Università degli Studi Milano Bicocca.
The program, taught entirely in English, is intended for a selected number of third year medical students, who for three years will integrate their curriculum with inter-disciplinary seminars and internship activities in research laboratories.

In particular, the program allows students to gain 60 additional university credits through seminars, courses and laboratory activities.
A team of mentors and tutors will support the students in all their activities, including the preparation of their thesis and laboratory activities.
Thanks to the collaboration between the three universities and the cooperation of the team of mentors and tutors, students will be able to carry out research activities to complete their experimental thesis in any of the three partner universities.
