Is Studying Medicine in Italy for You?

⚕️ What Healthcare Courses Are Offered?

Italy has some of the highest-ranking universities in the world, offering programs in English for different healthcare professions such as Nursing, Dentistry, and Medicine. They are offered in English as well as Italian, and boast a variety of cities for every type of person. Ranking highly in most world directories, Italy has established an impressive standard in preparing future medical students.

📖 What do Italian Medical Schools Offer?

It’s no surprise that studying medicine in Italy is becoming an increasingly popular choice, with the country offering rich cultural experiences on a backdrop of ancient historic tapestry, and combined with excellent educational quality cultivated through centuries of experience. Italy hosts two of the oldest universities in the world, La Sapienza and Federico II which were both established over 700 years ago, as well as the University of Bologna, which is the birthplace of one of the first-ever Anatomy books worldwide. However, Italy also hosts new, modern universities that have a focus on cutting-edge technology and new approaches to teaching future doctors which are seen at institutions such as the University of Bicocca, and engineering integrated courses like Turin Medical School.

🇮🇹 What to Expect from Italian Cities?

Every city that houses a university has something special to offer, from the beautiful beaches within walking distance of the University of Bari, the rich Mediterranean food of Messina, the beautiful country landscapes of Pavia, and the ancient wonders of the world like the colosseum in Rome, Italy has something to offer for every type of student, and person.

💰 Is Studying Medicine in Italy Affordable?

One of the greatest advantages of studying medicine in Italy is that there is also an opportunity for every budget. From private universities specializing in research such as Humanitas or UniCamillus, to public universities offering many grants and scholarships to socioeconomically disadvantaged students regardless of grades, the financial stresses of studying medicine are no longer a consideration for whether your dreams are achievable or not. You can almost say that studying medicine in Italy is free.

📝 Entry Requirements for an Italian Medical School?

The requirements to apply to study medicine in English are very inclusive, and unlike other countries, not academically dependent. A high-school diploma, as well as completing an entrance exam known as the IMAT Exam (which consists of 60 MCQ) is all that’s needed to qualify. There is no bias or consideration for your age, previous degrees, experience, or grades.
