Why study medicine in Italy?

Studying Medicine in Italy in English lets you access high-quality medical schools, recognised degrees in Europe and beyond, and an affordable tuition system compared to many other countries. Thanks to the IMAT you can apply from abroad and secure a place before moving

01
Highly Ranked Universities

According to the QS World University Ranking, in 2023, twelve Italian Universities were in the top 300 Medical Schools worldwide. Thus, Italy is praised for having among the oldest universities in the world and a noteworthy medicine tradition, and it also constantly provides new physicians with the best possible formation.

02
Simple Admissions Process

To apply for medical studies in English one only needs to have a high school diploma and pass an entrance exam called the IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test). Thus, the application process for studying medicine in Italy is pretty easy and not academically dependent, unlike in other countries.

03
Internationally Recognized Degrees

Italian medical degrees are recognized globally, expanding career opportunities for medicine students. Graduates from top universities in Italy have landed jobs in Switzerland, the US, UK, and Germany.

04
Affordable Tuition Fees

Most universities offering a degree in Medicine and Surgery are public, so tuition and fees are minimal compared to other countries. Moreover, there is no fixed cost: it depends on your family’s income. Thus almost everyone can afford to study. Want more? Nearly every university has scholarships for merit, disability and international students wishing to study in Italy.

05
Life as a student in Italy

Italy’s cultural landscape is undoubtedly one of the most diverse and rich in the world, spanning thousands of years and reflecting a mosaic of influences. Its roots reach deep into the legacy of ancient Rome, blossoming into a diverse tapestry of remarkable architecture, delectable cuisine, vibrant arts, cherished family values, and unique social customs.
