Earlier this year, Humanitas University was ranked first in the EU for scientific publications in the top 10% of the world by the Leiden CWTS Ranking, and eighth in Europe in Medicine by U-Multirank.
The six-year program, taught entirely in English, allows students to master theoretical and practical competencies from the first year, thanks to multidisciplinary modules combined with practical training and simulation activities. Courses are taught by professors, researchers and more than 150 doctors with international experience. The International Advisory Board remains active in helping the University achieve its educational and training goals.
The insights students gain from these industry luminaries are applied in the third year of the program. This period is spent in clinical training under the supervision of professional faculty at the top-notch Humanitas Research Hospital. In the simulation center, students learn about anatomical surgery and experimental teaching of medical procedures. Here, real-life clinical scenarios are re-enacted, allowing students to learn soft skills such as patient communication and teamwork between healthcare professionals alongside their medical knowledge.
Those more interested in research may be interested in the annual Virgilio Program, a month-long opportunity for biomedical research, interactive learning activities, and laboratory experiences.
Through travel grants and the Erasmus program, future doctors can also expand their knowledge abroad. “I went to Pemba Island (part of Zanzibar Island off the coast of Tanzania in East Africa) and worked at a hospital for mothers and children,” explained student Daniel Yiu.
There will be many conferences and seminars bringing together renowned Italian and international doctors and researchers closer to campus. Humanitas University’s classrooms are full of diverse perspectives, especially since 40% of the student population is made up of international students.
