Humanitas University is a private medical university near Milan, built around the Humanitas clinical and research environment. It is one of the Italian options international students often compare when they want to study Medicine in English.

The important distinction for IMAT Mentor students is that Humanitas is not the same admissions process as public IMAT universities. Public English-taught medical programs in Italy usually use IMAT, while Humanitas publishes its own application calls and HUMAT admission-test instructions. This page keeps Humanitas in the Italy university comparison without pretending that it is a public IMAT seat.

Programs and Prep Options

Start with the Medicine and Surgery program, then use the official Humanitas admissions page to confirm the current intake, HUMAT call, deadlines, seat categories and fee rules. Humanitas lists 200 Medicine and Surgery places for 2026/2027: 150 for EU candidates and 50 for non-EU candidates.

Admissions overview

Humanitas publishes separate application calls for its medical-school programs. For the 2026/2027 cycle, the official Humanitas admissions page lists the Medicine and Surgery and MEDTEC call as closed. That cycle used two online test windows: 5-6 March 2026 and 18-20 March 2026. Applicants planning a later intake should wait for the next official call before relying on dates or test-session details.

Typical documents

Valid ID or passport and applicant account details for the Humanitas admissions portal.
Secondary-school qualification or final-year documentation, according to the official call.
Any country-specific eligibility, visa or value/recognition documents requested for the intake.

Timeline discipline

Private university calls can close earlier than public IMAT timelines. Treat Humanitas as its own application project with its own deadlines, fees, test booking and ranking rules.

Humanitas Admission Test

Humanitas Medicine applicants should prepare from the current official call, not from generic public IMAT assumptions. The university publishes the exact HUMAT structure, deadlines and candidate rules for each intake on its admissions page.

Test

HUMAT

Medicine admission is run through Humanitas admissions instructions rather than the public IMAT ranking.

Format

60 questions

The 2026/2027 test had 60 multiple-choice questions to complete in 120 minutes.

Sections

Three areas

Scientific Thinking and Academic Literacy, Biology and Chemistry, and Mathematics and Physics.

IMAT Mentor can still be useful for structured science revision, reasoning practice and study discipline, especially around Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. But the final preparation checklist for Humanitas should always be built from Humanitas sources.

Tuition and Living Costs

Humanitas publishes income-linked tuition brackets for Medicine and Surgery. For the 2026/2027 academic year, the official fee table lists annual tuition from EUR 10,206 to EUR 23,206, depending on the assigned bracket. Always check whether administrative fees, regional taxes or student-services costs apply to your case.

Milan-area living costs are usually higher than many other Italian student cities. For planning, use roughly EUR 900-1,400 per month before one-time setup costs, flights, visa expenses, deposits and personal travel.

Recognition and licensing

Humanitas is an Italian university, but licensing is still destination-specific. Graduates should check registration rules in the country where they want to practise after graduation, especially if they plan to work outside Italy or outside the EU.

Student life near Milan

Humanitas is based south of Milan, close to the clinical campus rather than in the historic city centre. That can suit students who want a medical-campus environment, hospital proximity and access to Milan's wider transport, housing and cultural network.

Best fit

Students who want a private Italian medical school, English-taught Medicine, a Milan-area setting and a campus connected to clinical and research facilities.

Watch out for

Humanitas is not a public IMAT application. Budget, admissions timeline and entrance-test preparation should be checked separately from public Italy medicine applications.

How IMAT Mentor helps

IMAT Mentor is built first for public IMAT admission into English-taught Medicine and Dentistry in Italy. For Humanitas, use the platform selectively: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, reasoning practice, flashcards and study planning can support your foundation, while Humanitas-specific test rules must come from the official admissions call.
