Humanitas University's Medicine and Surgery program is a 6-year English-taught medical degree near Milan. It is an Italian Medicine option for international students, but it uses the private Humanitas admissions process rather than public IMAT admission.

Program Overview

Best fit

Students who want Medicine in English in Italy, a Milan-area setting and a private university connected to a clinical and research environment.

Degree outcome

Humanitas lists Medicine and Surgery as a 6-year, 360-CFU program. Licensing after graduation still depends on the country where you want to practise.

Admissions process

Humanitas applicants follow Humanitas calls and HUMAT rules. Do not plan this as if it were a public IMAT seat.

Humanitas Admission Test

Humanitas lists the Medicine and Surgery admission test as HUMAT. For the 2026/2027 call, the published structure was 60 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes. Scoring is set by the official evaluation sheet, so applicants should check the current call before planning guessing strategy.

Section 1

Scientific thinking and literacy

20 questions in 45 minutes, covering scientific thinking and academic literacy.

Section 2

Biology and Chemistry

20 questions in 35 minutes, focused on core Biology and Chemistry knowledge.

Section 3

Maths and Physics

20 questions in 40 minutes, focused on Mathematics and Physics topics.

This overlaps with some IMAT Mentor study areas, especially Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics and reasoning. It is still not the same exam, so Humanitas applicants should prepare against the official HUMAT specification.
