Humanitas Preparation Week is a short official preparation course for students applying to Humanitas Medicine and MEDTEC. It is useful context for Humanitas applicants, but it is not a degree program and it is not public IMAT preparation.

Preparation Week Overview

Best fit

Students who already know they are applying to Humanitas and want official, short-format preparation before the Humanitas admission test.

No admission guarantee

Preparation Week does not guarantee admission. Final selection depends on the official test, ranking rules and documents.

HUMAT-specific

The course targets the Humanitas admission test. Public IMAT candidates still need separate IMAT-specific preparation.

Who It Fits

Preparation Week makes most sense for applicants who want Humanitas-specific orientation and who can attend live online sessions. Humanitas states that missed lessons cannot be downloaded later, so students should treat the course as a fixed live schedule rather than a self-paced resource.

Good fit

Humanitas-focused applicants

You are applying to Humanitas Medicine or MEDTEC.
You want official orientation before the Humanitas admission test.
You can attend live lessons during the scheduled course week.

Less suitable

Public IMAT-only applicants

If your only target is public IMAT universities, use an IMAT-specific preparation plan instead. HUMAT and IMAT overlap in some subjects but are not the same exam.

Registration

Humanitas listed the February 2026 Preparation Week application flow through MyPORTAL, with registration, online application and fee payment as the main steps. The official page currently says February Preparation Week registrations are closed, so future applicants should check whether Humanitas publishes a new edition for the next intake.

Step 1

Register

Create or access a Humanitas MyPORTAL profile.

Step 2

Apply online

Select the Preparation Week application in the portal when available.

Step 3

After payment

Format and Cost

The February 2026 edition was listed as an online live course from 14 to 21 February 2026, excluding Sunday, for a total of 40 hours. Humanitas listed 50 available places and a course fee of EUR 700.

Course Focus

Humanitas frames Preparation Week around study method and HUMAT practice for Medicine and MEDTEC applicants. The official page describes live lessons, practice exercises, online simulations and feedback sessions with professors.

Study method

Orientation around how to approach the Humanitas admission test and structure your preparation.

Exercises and simulations

Practice work and online simulations to get closer to the Humanitas test experience.

Feedback sessions

Live feedback with Humanitas professors according to the official course description.

Fixed schedule

The value depends on attending live sessions, because the official page says missed lessons cannot be downloaded.

How IMAT Mentor Helps

IMAT Mentor is not a replacement for Humanitas Preparation Week. It can help with the broader science and reasoning base around Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Physics and reading practice, while Humanitas-specific preparation should follow Humanitas materials and the current HUMAT call.

Before the live week

Use question practice and flashcards to strengthen the science base before the Humanitas live sessions begin.

During preparation

Keep public IMAT prep separate from HUMAT prep so you do not mix exam formats, timing or ranking rules.

After the course

Turn feedback from Humanitas sessions into a targeted revision list for the final weeks before the test.
