Humanitas University medicine test – HUMAT

To the surprise of many, the announcement presents little changes compared to the previous year, in which small changes brought it closer to the Italian TOLC MED. The changes introduced in the Humanitas medicine test for 2024, which have been operational since 2023, include:

• Taking the tests on two separate dates per year, in February and March . Students have the freedom to attend both sessions or only one;
• The possibility for students from the Italian fourth year of high school to sit for the test. The results obtained in these tests will be recognised and valid for the ranking list of the year in which they graduate;
• The ranking will be based on the highest score obtained from all the sessions the student participated in, ranging from a minimum of 1 test to a maximum of 4.

For aspiring students, this continuity can be a safety net: they know what to expect and can prepare accordingly without worrying about unexpected changes or new requirements. However, it is always advisable to read every detail of the call for applications carefully, even if the variations are minimal, to ensure you get all the essential information. In conclusion, the Humanitas University of Milan once again confirms its dedication to excellence and transparency in medical and scientific education.
