Hi,
When are the applications due for 2015 entry? Do I apply before or after doing the admissions test? Also where can I find more information about applying, like where to get the application form etc?
Thanks again

Hello,
my name is Roberto and I am the Official Representative of Humanitas University.

Humanitas University has been recently established as a recognized Medical School by the Italian Ministry of Education.

We offer a 6-year Medicine course taught entirely in English and we will begin accepting 100 medical students per year starting from the next Academic Year (lessons will start in October 2014).

Admissions are determined via an IMAT test (by Admissions Testing Service, part of Cambridge Assessment). Applicants will take the test on 16 September 2014 in Milan, London, Manchester, Dublin or alternatively at one of the other 14 test centres located across Europe.

Humanitas University is built alongside the Humanitas Research Hospital, which many users of this forum already know as it has been hosting a course of Medicine with the University of Milan for more than 10 years.

If you have any questions about studying Medicine in Italy at our University, I will be more than happy to answer.

Hi,

I am an UK student and received my a level results.

I want to apply to your university but are any financial aid for UK students?

Also I understand that it is 6 years, is the 6th year an internship like in the UK the course is 5 years but then we go on to foundation year 1.

Also is it possible to be transferred back to a UK medical school after 2/3 years of study in Italy?

Hello faddys123,

fees and financial are income-based, depending on the income of the family of the student. A major Italian bank will provide loans to EU students starting from the second year of studies. Access to the loans will be subject to availability and will be merit-based. If you need more information or assistance about the calculation of the fees, please write by PM.

The 6-th year is not an internship year as foundation year in the UK, even if clinical clerkships are more and more important as you progress towards the end of your studies. Mandatory internships in Italy are slightly different from what happens in the UK.

There is no obstacle from us to outgoing transfers. Acceptance in this case is largely dependent on the institution which receives the student.

I hope I was of help,
Roberto

Hello AlexandraElse,

European Baccalaureate is usually accepted, but in order to confirm this regarding your precise situation, you should specify your institution (write us here or by PM).

The course is taught entirely in English. Be aware that we will also provide Italian language courses. Some patients do not speak English and students are encouraged to learn Italian in order to be able to interact with all the patients in the hospital.

Good evening again and thank you for your prompt response !
The italian language is not a problem for me, as I'm learning it in highschool.
What's the minimum score for the baccalureate in order to get me in?
Also, it's a 6 year course, so the 1st one it's the foundation year, so as I understand I don't need a science background (Baccalaureate in Chemistry/Biology/Math) .

That's not how it works in continental Europe - the medical degrees are generally six years long as standard. It's quite typical for the final year to count as 'internship' enough for you not to have to do FY1 afterwards in the UK though. Not sure whether that is the case in Italy/at this particular med school, the OP hasn't answered that clearly enough.

Just wondering is there student accommodation?
