More Information-
Humanitas University has provided medical education for over a decade as a partner of the University of Milan. Nowadays, it is the largest independent medical school in Italy, training over 1,200 students every year in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, nursing, physiotherapy.
Since 2010, Humanitas University has been offering a 6-year, international Medicine and Surgery programme. The language of instruction is English; medical students will interact with Italian patients in the teaching hospitals, so a working knowledge of Italian is required for clinical training, which will start from the third year. However, applicants are not expected to speak Italian from the outset of the programme. Language classes will be provided by the university during the course.
Humanitas University’s degrees are valid throughout the European Union according to the EU Directive 2005/36/EC. It is therefore recognised by the UK General Medical Council (GMC).

At Humanitas University, you will follow a varied and stimulating curriculum, designed to train well-rounded medical professional with strong awareness of cross-cultural issues relating to illness and healing.
The four main components of the programme are core courses, elective courses, clinical training and dissertation training. You are also encouraged to participate in seminars and conferences and research projects with the Faculty. This approach ensures you can fully integrate medical science and practice, as well as developing critical and autonomous reasoning.
Clinical training starts in the third year and accounts for 60 credits in total. During the training you will perform clinical activities under the supervision of a tutor, but with a considerable degree of autonomy.
From 2020, Humanitas University has introduced its own entrance test. The HUMAT test consists of two parts: scientific thinking and academic literacy . A sample of the scientific thinking test is available online now and there will be one for academic literacy soon. There are no exemptions from this test and there is no other way to gain a place at Humanitas.
To be eligible for the test, you must have a high school diploma obtained after at least 12 years of education. For British students this means you will need to have 3 GCE A’ Levels or the International Baccalaureate diploma to include Biology and Chemistry.
While there is some flexibility in the Italian entrance system and it is technically possible to apply with EEE at A level or a pass in the International Baccalaureate, we would not encourage applications from students with below BBB at A level or 32 on the International Baccalaureate. Such students tend to perform poorly on the entrance exam.
Students with BTECs and Access to Higher Education qualifications cannot apply. Students with passes in Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or with a pass in the Irish Leaving Certificate are eligible to take the exam.
There is no interview requirement. Once you meet the minimum entry requirements mentioned above, your test score is the most important factor in deciding whether you get an offer. While extensive work experience is to be encouraged, it will not have an impact on your chances of being accepted.
